Channel Surfing the Internet Video Wave

by Terrence O'Brien on June 14, 2007 at 01:31 PM


Chime.TV is a new site that serves as a kind of cable box for the Internet. It goes out and collects the mountains of Web video being uploaded every day, sifts through it all and sorts it into channels such as Documentaries, Classic TV, Sports, Politics, Nature and Technology.

Videos are sourced from YouTube, Veoh, Metacafe, Google Video and DailyMotion. And if you don't like browsing Chime's channels, simply create your own with the search bar.

Chime.TV is definitely cool, and has a lot of potential, but it's far from ready for prime time. The site lets you do a lot of neat stuff, like resize the video window (to full screen, even) or fiddle with color balance. But we found the videos to be very choppy, which made them difficult to enjoy. Once these wrinkles are ironed out, though, we expect big things from Chime.TV.
