Miro, the democratic media player from JD Lasica on Vimeo.
Here’s an 11-minute video interview I conducted with Nicholas Reville, co-founder and executive director of the Participatory Culture Foundation, maker of Miro at getmiro.com.
Miro’s a cool application that lets you watch and subscribe to millions of channels of content created by us (any video with an RSS feed, for example). You can browse through more than 4,000 channels in its directory listing. I’ve been using Miro for almost two years now (free, open source, what’s not to like?).
I interviewed Nick as the NetSquared conference in May in San Jose, Calif., was winding down, which accounts for the distracting noises in the background. (Apologies for the lighting; the aperture kept closing and opening due to a bright object in the distance. Live and learn.)

I’ve met some of the Miro guys, and they are fantastic. Amazing that it’s a non-profit – goes to show that you don’t need to be chasing the $$ to make a great product and market it.
