Chime.tv, an alternative to Joost and Babelgum
Chime.Tv’s video player has got the kind of flash and style Ruby developers would envy, especially since it’s programmed in PHP and AJAX. The player, which dishes out 22 themed channels of viral video content, with a bunch of added utilities. Like the IPTV guys, you can flip through pre-made channels, roll your own, or search for content by keyword. The full page player is similar to Joost and Babelgum, but in your browser.
If you want to create the “bikini” channel, all you have to do is search for “bikini” in the search bar and Chime will start playing through all the results. The player can play in full screen mode, wide screen, or anywhere in between by dragging the corner of the video. It also comes with some color controls for brightness, contrast, and color in case the original quality is less than stellar.
