the people from the participatory culture are raising a design contest for the broadcast machine video player (I told about them before)
.
it’s open source (right now I use iTunes to watch my videos, but in no way I trust a private company to maintain a huge community), it’s TV and it’s one step more away from the monolog culture to our networked dialog.
.
I offered help before, but the $1000 prize and the opportunity to create an app to deliver the plethora of videoblogs out there convinced me to buckle up and design my dream video player (yeah, I’m a prosumer!)

my entry (a 10 pages document, with screenshots, detailed information and suggestions) can be seen as flashpaper format or downloaded as a pdf (a wooping 5.7 MB file)

alea jacta est!
