    And what better way to share Free stuff than the Internet?

    Nullsoft (of WinAmp/trouble-making fame) released NSV/Winamp TV. A good description:

    NSV is a new multimedia container format designed for network video streaming. The format is known as NullSoft Video or simply NSV. NSV was developed by Nullsoft corporation, the same company that produced the popular Winamp and Shoutcast streaming audio software.

    NSV consists of free software to encode, stream and view video. There are additional third party NSV applications being developed and distributed by stations and users.

    ...but Mark Pesce was the original inventor of VRML -- which, although it seems to've pretty much died-a-death in the dot-com bust, I think we'll eventually go full circle and re-discover/re-invent it once we've all got SVG viewers built-in to our browsers.
