The Democracy Player is a favorite program of mine that, until recently, has been a little buggy. For those of you who don't know what the Democracy Player is, then I'll let you in on this little software gem. The name, Democracy Player, may make some shy away at first. When I first heard of it, I conjured up memories of being forced to watch public television for "educational purposes." Rest assured, you will want to watch some of this content. Basically, it is a hybrid of Windows Media player 11, an RSS video reader, and a basic BitTorrent Client. It also comes in 3 flavors for Windows, Mac, or Linux. Most people don't know, but there are hundreds of video podcasts and subscribable shows covering a wide ranges of topics. Technology, Home and Garden, Comedy, News, and more. All of them have shows widely avaliable for free, all online. Oh and don't forget the YouTube and Google Video support. The Democracy Player makes it easy to subscribe to those shows. It is almost like an internet TiVo. The only drawback is that you won't be able to get regular broadcast shows. That means no House, or Desprate Housewifes, (sorry ladies). But there is a way to get that content into Democracy player, but I will save that for a later post. But in the mean time, check out the Democracy Player.
