Tvmad.com was launched on the 02.08.2010, right after the realease of Adobe Flash 10.1 (10.07.2010)
. The social TV platform uses P2P for streaming online video - it works like any other P2P system but it's unique in flash video transmission.
But why it is so revolutionary? Until now the main problem with other similar sites was bandwith - the more viewers the worse the picture. TVmad has fixed that existential problem and it works like the opposite - the more viewers it has, the better the stream quality.
It enables users to stream whatever they want - webcam feed, a video file from their harddrive, desktop screen, youtube videos etc.
The platform enables users to set up a personal channel with just a few clicks and has gained numerous loyal users in a short period of time. Tvmad.com requires no registration - people can authenticate themselves using Facebook, Twitter or Gmail accounts wich makes the site safe and spam-free.
On the 30th of Sept Tvmad launched the new and popular youtube tool that lets users generate a playlist of youtube videos and turn that list into a public channels to be accessed enywhere and by anyone. This new feature puts the user in a TV producers seat and lets him or her experience the role of a bigtime producer, the option to share ones channels in Facebook gives users a unique social-TV experience and allows them to share their favourite videos with friends and people with the same taste across the internet. Users have already started to create channels with sport broadcasts, movies, rare tv-series and started videoblog channels using their webcam.
The Tvmad.com team is constantly working on improving the platform and adding new fun features and it will be out of beta stadium sooner than originally stated. Though it is still in Beta its open to public and free to all users.
