Changes at Eyespot

It appears as though eyespot has had a little makeover. The once ugly and somewhat unintuitive home page has had a very much needed facelift. They also are now offcially a creative commons site and appear to have changed their terms of use slightly enabling members to automatically retain credit for their videos when other members use the content in their own mixes, this applies to all media except if it is marked as private. They have also begun a partnership with Current TV, a cable and satellite TV station created by Al Gore that specializes in the broadcasting of video mixes made by anyone. Eyespot has also included new features and improvements to their mixing engine, improved their search/browse engine by creating an explore function and claim that their once sluggish search is now faster. They have also opened up their mixing engine to except plugins so that developers can contribute custom effects, transitions, filters, or any other audio/visual transformations. Read about all the changes here.

The most interesting thing that they are promoting, however, is MobileTV, an eyespot group dedicated to the sharing of mobile posted video. Apparently, they are planning to start a program with an 'as yet un-named television station' to broadcast user videos from this group.
