Although you may not have heard of it, Pyro.tv is a service
comparable to VeohTV. It collects videos from around the web, and
delivers them to its users as channels, similar to traditional
television.
The bread-and-butter of the service lies in the ability for
each
user to create their own channels of their favourite videos, which can
then be shared amongst others.
Now, Vibe
Solutions Group, the company behind the service, has
announced that the Pyro.TV video channel service has been integrated
into the Facebook
Platform.
Facebook users can join in on the action with the
new Pyro.TV
Facebook application that opens up an even wider community to
share channels with.
Ted Briscoe, chief
executive
officer, Vibe Solutions Group:-
“We are committed to distributing
Pyro.TV’s growing network of
channels wherever people are online,”“Social networking sites like
now have the ability to offer more than just embedded video clips to
their users.They can offer a complete personalized TV viewing
experience that requires no download and is constantly refreshed with
channel content.”
The Facebook
application is
essentially a full-functioning version of the Pyro.TV website, but
completely integrated into Facebook profiles as an
application.
Through
Facebook, users can create their own personal Internet TV experience
with custom channel line-ups (known as My Channels). Users can then
display, promote, and share their channels through a video player that
is embedded within their Facebook profiles.
Now millions of Facebook users have the ability to customize
a
video channel to watch videos and share it with friends. Pyro.tv offers
a great concept that seems to work well within a social network such as
Facebook.
