Yeah, the problem is they have TOO MUCH video. The s/n ratio on JTV is so high that pirated channels are the only thing worth watching. I'm sure there's some good content in there, but good luck finding it.

Their launch was brilliant (I love the concept), but they need to come up with a way to filter and summarize. I need to be able to grab 30 seconds out of a video and nominate it for the daily "Best of JTV" or something.




How about a "Something interesting is happening" button that you can toggle on/off while you're watching a video?


Discovery at this scale is a hard problem. As we get bigger, more people set up spam broadcasts too (streams with no interesting content and lots of links), which makes the job even harder. We're working on it though ;-)


Have no doubt that you are :)


For the record, we do have a way of making clips from videos that you're watching. (Maybe we need to make that feature more prominent...)


maybe there's a way you can summarize boring video into showing only the interesting chunks


We've tried to improve how people find live video feeds, at shiftpop.com.
