Like a bumblebee’s wings, the PCF staff appears far too small to lift a complicated, cross-platform app like Miro off the ground. But like a bumblebee’s heart, our team pumps out mostly love and magic, making anything possible. You can’t underestimate how much of a difference it makes when people are working on something that [...]

I am thrilled to announce the release of Miro 2.0! This is a huge update of Miro, the Miro Guide, and the GetMiro website. Download Miro 2.0 Now Miro 2 has an all-new interface and lots of new features– but for me it’s less of a collection of new stuff and more of a [...]

The brand new Miro Guide just went up yesterday — it looks beautiful and is packed full of new features. This new version of the Miro Guide is also the beginning of a new effort to make MiroGuide.com work really well as a stand-alone web guide to video podcasts (competing with a site like Odeo, [...]

Alright. We have one last, and we hope final final release candidate before Miro 2.0 bursts onto the scene.

The new Miro is almost ready— we’ve just posted a Release Candidate for Miro 2.0. That means it’s close to what we think will be the final version but we want some help making sure we haven’t missed any serious bugs. Download Miro 2.0 RC1 — Download for Windows — Download for Mac — Download [...]

YouTube seems to have changed their back end again, so downloads might not be working. We should have this fixed in the next day or so for the 2.0 branch and will put some download links up when it’s ready. For Miro 1.2.8 users, you’re going to need to update to 2.0 to get this fix [...]

Our developers have been hard at work, and the results are pretty spectacular. The new Miro is faster, looks beautiful, and has lots of new tricks up its sleeve (one of my favorites is downloading HD from YouTube). Before we launch we need some help with testing and translation — the more eyeballs we have, the [...]
