We've been interviewed by Golem a German news service for IT professionals . The article (in German) describes how the mixd.tv technology is designed and what users can expect from our desktop app.

The future of media is defined by a new user centric culture. People want flexible access to media regardless of time and location. New technologies are shifting power towards media consumers. Online video is changing in this context the shape of TV. Already more than 80 % of all Internet users are watching videos in the World Wide Web. More than 500 million web videos are watched every day in the US. But this abundance is not without problems. Web videos are widely dispersed all over the Internet on different video platforms and finding the right media is complicated and extremely time-consuming. The process of searching what internet users want to see is inefficient and often even ineffective. mixd.tv is here to help:

• Find, play, store and share videos directly on your desktop.
• Search different video platforms at once. Finding videos has never been easier.
• Watch your videos whenever you want, even offline. With mixd.tv’s automatic archiving function enjoy your video files in your favorite café, the train or the airplane.
• Always watch the best available quality of the videos you choose.
• See your friend’s favorite videos and follow their playlists. Never again miss videos all your friends are talking about.
• Build your own cross platform playlists and share videos with the online community. Create your own channel.

We developed mixd.tv because we really wanted to have a tool like this ourselves. We believe that respect, openness and participation have to be the central elements in today’s online culture. We offer you a wide range of search functionalities and invite you at the same time to participate in creating mixd.tv. Extend the scope of mixd.tv’s search engine according to your individual needs. Together we can reshape the future of television.
