Irish Babelgum is an IPTV service currently in private beta which I admit I haven’t been invited to. Judging on its screenshots and web design though, I can assume it to be a clone of popular start-up Joost.
Their homepage looks quite like The Venice Project’s (when it was called that) old one with its use of a two column layout and a serif, console-like font.
The software’s interface is also heavy on dark colours, much like Joost’s. Unlike Joost, though, it doesn’t appear to be a resource hog; Ali reports it only uses about 70MB of RAM.
Babelgum uses P2P as does Joost. Of course Joost is probably more reliable as there are more users and therefore more hosts etc.
If any of you have an invite send me one! (computerjoe at gmail.com).
I have to point out though that after running it for over 30 mins, it did climb to over 90 MB.
I was caught unaware actually when I got the invite. Let’s see how it looks when the open beta begins. I’ll invite you first.
