Redux Is Like FriendFeed Redux, But The TV Feature Is Killer

At first glance, Redux has a very appropriate name: It looks like it's just another version of the aggregation and conversation service FriendFeed . But a new feature is fairly awesome. "TV" allows you to easily share video clips, just as you would share links on FriendFeed or Redux's main Stream area. Officially, Redux says it's a "personalized entertainment guide to the web." But really, that's what most social sites are these days. We need new features to distinguish them. And solid usability. And that's what Redux offers in this video area. The main problem I have with online video is that there's way too much of it. I visit YouTube, but I have no idea what to watch. If I try to browse random videos, most of it is crap, and really, it's just a waste of my time to do that. Most of the videos I consume, friends send me, and that's exactly the idea behind Redux's video area. But because it's an actual video player, the sharing and watching of videos is seamless.
