maybe some of you heard of it already. might be cool in the future

Quote by Some words of the foundersWe’re excited to announce the beta launch of VHX.tv, a website for watching and sharing videos with friends. We’ve tried to combine the best parts of the TV experience with the best of the web. It’s sexy.

We hope you weren’t planning on being productive today.
Videos start playing right away, and never stop playing
Your Dashboard aggregates videos shared by your friends
Our bookmarklet lets you queue videos to watch later
Install our browser addon to log videos you watch on other websites to your private History (Firefox or Chrome)
We currently have full support for YouTube and Vimeo videos, with more to come

We’re excited to get people using the site while we roll out more curation features — something like programming your own 30-minute TV shows.

Watch Irene’s family-friendly demo video, or visit our About page to find out more. Current users now have 5 invites to send to friends, or sign up to get an invite as they become available.

Love,
Jamie & Casey

just thought it looked stylish! heres the about-section: "VHX is the way you're supposed to watch and share videos with friends. We’ve combined the best parts of TV with the best of the web.

Finding and watching videos online is a fragmented and complex experience. We share videos via Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Google Reader, and many more. We watch them on our computers, TVs, iPads, and mobile devices.

VHX brings online videos together into one streamlined watching experience and equips the community with the best possible curation tools. Create your own personal TV experience."

im not really sure if its some break-through page, but you rreally cant find out while its invite only. maybe its cool, dunno yet

think i got it now...its like: if you posted a video on FB you can immediatly get that video to your VHX account and your (future)friends will have it in their queue aswell. and if you like a video on YT you can directly send to your dashboard on VHX aswell. so all your friends will see, but not necessarily need to watch it, but CAN (like they say: after you grabbed your next beer, in that video)

guess time will tell, if this will be a good idea..

just found out about the guys behind it.
QuoteCasey Pugh was one of the original Vimeo developers and then moved onto Boxee. In 2009 he created Star Wars Uncut, a crowdsourced remake of “Star Wars: A New Hope,” which became the first site for a internet-only production to win an Emmy.

Jamie "Dubs" Wilkinson studies the Internet and co-created Know Your Meme and the Mag.ma viral video tracking system. He taught the "Internet Famous" class and publishes open-source projects as a member of the F.A.T. Lab.
