Let’s get some Babelgum

Updated: Okay so you don’t have the Joost invite as yet, how about Babelgum, a new online video offering from Silvio Scaglia, the guy who started FastWeb, an early player in the IPTV space.

NewTeeVee has a full review of the service and some nifty screenshots, and others have posted some thoughts as well. On Scaglia, James Enck quips, “for an integrated-services-over-fat-pipe veteran of this stature to become a convert to the ‘parasitic applications’ camp is amazing.”

First thing this morning I see another “bog off to the back of the beta queue” email from TVP / Joost, and the good news that it has a competitor in Babelgum ( good review of this on GigaOm). All my PR, VC, Analyst and Media friends have Joost invit…
