After a long weekend, you may find you’re all caught up on your favorite shows. If you’re looking for a new source for entertainment, Berkeley-based community Redux is finally emerging from closed beta. ReadWriteWeb first covered Redux’s Facebook and Twitter integration in early October. Since then the company has increased its member base, created some new tools and most importantly, built on the strength of its video.
Similar to Digg, Redux allows users to upload, share and vote on content across the network. Tools like its embeddable blogging widget and inlinevideo comment threads encourage ongoing dialogue and engagement. The community’s best content and dialogue has been its video, and TV mode is a way to celebrate that.
Redux lets you stream videos continuously in full screen mode from your friends, networks, and favorite channels. Because the community pulls a live feed from your Twitter and Facebook networks, clips arrive as real-time suggestions from friends and community members. In the past ReadWriteWeb has looked to Redux as a great way to bypass Bit.ly’s malware issues as the site offers a thumbnail preview prior to clicking on links. With TV Mode, users can bypass the act of clicking altogether and watch an unadulterated stream of real-time video. To register visit Redux.
