In my spare time, I am helping create a free media aggregator called FireANT.

Our team is made up of Daniel Salber, Erik Radmall, Josh Kinberg and myself.
We work on weekends and late into the night making it happen.
These guys are powerhouses who truly believe in what we’re all doing.
We recently made this awesome screencast (edited by Ryan Hodson) to help explain how the PC version works.

FireANT is the first software application that comes complete RSS
subscription, Video Search, built-in BitTorrent, and the ability to
sync media onto the iPod and Sony PSP.

The PC version is a beautiful monster.
The idea is to make an open platform that plays anything you can put into an RSS feed.
Read text posts.
Watch videos and flash movies.
Listen to audio.

You can grab feeds from our ever-growing Directory of feeds.
You can use the Yahoo Video Search to make feeds out of any search term you enter.

You can browse through feeds and download what you want.
You can also choose to download everything from all your feeds…and watch the videos like a TV channel in wide screen mode.

We want you to tell the creators what you think of their work…so click the Comment button to leave them a note.
We will soon have "email this" and "blog this" so you can let people know what youre finding.

We will also have Tagging enabled so you can tags videos.
All tags will be made into feeds automatically.
Taggers will become the filters of the videoblogging and podcasting world.
Sense will be amde of all the media we are now creating.

We need your feedback…so download it and give it a whirl.
We want you to go crazy with it. (It’s exteremly addictive)
We hope to help people connect to each other and actual participate in their own lives by seeing media made by non-traditonal sources and realizing we can make our own video/audio that the whole world can see and hear.
Video distribution is now democratized.
It’s now up to us to make it happen.
