DVR / PVR’s and RSS

Alldvrnews.com writes about the coming demand for DVRs with RSS capabilities, which allows DVR users to subscribe to their favorite podcasts and vodcasts. At the same time I found this article on AdAge about Moqvo, which should be the new TiVo of the internet. Moqvo’s co-founder, Mr. Detwiler, calls the site a “social media center” and speaks about the competitors like MyYahoo, NewsGator and Google Reader who all use a text-based user experience.

Unlike his competitors’ text summaries and links, Moqvo offers “channels” with content such as New York Times podcasts and Comedy Central video clips. Users subscribe to an RSS feed by dragging and dropping a “channel” into a user’s personalized page.

“RSS may stand for Real Simple Syndication, but it’s not simple,” Mr. Detwiler said. “Our whole premise as more video and audio goes to the web is to ask, ‘How can we re-create the TV experience?’ Ours is an RSS feeder for the masses.”

Be sure to also check the Democracy player, with that you can subscribe to any video RSS feed (video podcasts).
