This software is so good I don’t want to share it! It would have to be in my top 3 acquisitions this year 
And it’s FREE!!!!!
Miro is a wonderful piece of open-source that allows you to download & watch free internet video channels. Why I like it so much:
- It gives me access to a whole lot of videos I didn’t even know existed.
- I can run a keyword search & it goes & finds videos about that topic.
- I can download the videos - great boon to me as I’m often wanting to show these in a workshop or presentation. I’m no longer dependent on the whims of an untested internet link.
- It was really easy to install & easy to use.
- It runs on OS X, Windows & Linux.
It’s a bit like iTunes for videos - except everything is free. So go get it NOW! Oh - and while you’re there - why not make a donation to the fine people who made it - it’s tax deductible.

Hey Carol,
Thanks for writing about Miro — coverage in blogs like yours has been a huge factor in our success. We’re pretty much all about word of mouth

Hey back Dean
Miro saved our bacon this week. One of our conference speakers wanted to show a video from YouTube. We had a pretty wobbly wireless connection so it was a bit risky. Luckily I’d told her about Miro & she had downloaded it. Phew!!!
Love your work.
Cheers
Carol
