+The Participatory Culture Foundation has released the first public beta of Miro, formerly known as Democracy Player. We've looked and Democracy Player a [couple][2] of [times][3] in the past and come away impressed and the new Miro release continues to build on the solid past of Democracy Player.
+
+Along with a visual makeover, some new icons and a new channel browsing interface, the first release of Miro features improved keyboard shortcuts for easier use with remote controls as well as a number of bug and stability fixes.
+
+For a complete list of changes, check out the [Miro blog][1], here's few of the highlights:
+
+
+*	Keyboard shortcuts on all platforms. This should allow remote controls to be configured to control Miro.
+*	Improved system tray functionality on Windows, including a context menu.
+*	Added a new ‘report a bug’ menu item.
+*	Adds Veoh.com as a search engine.
+
+Overall the new Miro continues to build on what Democracy Player started and trumps Joost, at least in terms of application and desktop interface, though Joost does offer more "premium" content if that's your thing.
+
+Miro is well on its way to becoming my favorite way to grab web-based television content.
+
+I'm also happy to report that the [issue with hidden .DS_store files][3] showing up in your watched folders on the Mac has been solved.
