Travelling, and not Arriving

Faucet Vcast, the hidden gem

While Techcrunch shows us quite daily how many (hardly) useful web 2.0 tools get overhyped (not to mention, over-paid or over-funded) in this period, it’s incredible to discover an incredibly useful service barely known to the public (and to Google).

Its (strange) name is Faucet Vcast (attention! ugly interface behind!), and it’s a simple and effective Web-based italian  TV-recording service. (… Ok, probably italian television is not really worth much attention, but there are a few tv-programs that the typical expatriate would like to see abroad…)
In any case, behind a ugly and trivial web interface, there’s a useful service indeed. Simply insert a new recording request and come back later to donwload the mp4 file. Try it!

Thanks Filippo, nice application. It’s the first one I know creating a podcast subscription on the fly with the audio/video recording choices you set up. They just need some online tv index integration.
