The new version of the Democracy Player was just released. This is such a cool piece of software for anyone who watches video on the web. I think the website says it best.

"It's pretty simple. You get a better internet video experience with Democracy Player because you can do more and you can do it more easily. Some people call it a 'TiVo for the internet' or a 'Firefox for videos'.

Democracy Player is free, open source, and built by a non-profit organization. Our goal isn't to make money off of you. Our goal is to give you the best possible video experience."

And if it isn't enough that it is a cool piece of free, open source software, they are based out of the mighty Worcester MA.
