I recently rambled on about how the StreamCast Player was the most elegant flash player I had ever seen. The guy behind this fluid browser based video player, Micro Pasqualini, also hinted to me he had another project in the works called WiTV, but that this was “top secret”.

Yesterday I managed to have a chat with Pasqualini, who shed a bit of light on what this whole WiTV thing is…

I have to say I am very intrigued by the talk of a browser based Joost and Apple TV compatibility.

Aggregating video clips from sites like YouTube and MetaCafe to create “TV Channels” seems to be all the rage this year. Following in the footsteps of WorldTV, Feedbeat, CozmoTV and SplashCast enters Chime TV, the latest video-clip-to-TV-Station aggregator.

While WorldTV appears to be rocking ahead from a usability standpoint for channel creators, Chime TV has excelled with its fluid viewing experience and central aggregation of its channels.

It has the Electronic Program Guide aesthetics that you get from Joost and BabelGum while remaining in your browser. It even has the folks over at VideoSift getting envious.

When YouTube started blazing onto everyone’s PCs bringing a new world of amateur content and entertaining clips we began to see the potential for watching video online.

When Joost released its first beta we caught a peek at the potential of an internet television platform that could create a TV-like experience.

These two companies have become synonymous with the internet TV revolution. But while everyone has been focusing on the likes of Joost and begging for invites, another internet video start-up has creeped onto the scene to contend with Joost.

The name of this promising start-up?

BabelGum

With its full-screen display, TV-like interface and streaming content Babelgum was bound to be compared directly to its nearest rival Joost, which has already gained a significant following and position within the market.

Last week Major League Baseball was in the news complaining about the Slingbox from SlingMedia.

This week the National Hockey League (NHL) has decided to take the opposite approach and embraced the Slingbox by developing a new service that allows hockey fans to share video clips of hockey game online.

The first stage of the broadband video revolution was driven by user uploaded content mainly consisting of short clips. Now people are able to take things further by actually being able to produce their own online TV destination by creating live channels and scheduled programming through a variety of online tools .

Mogolus has raised about $1.2 million in angel funding, including about $1 million from a “New York-based based Swiss private investor”
