When I first saw the Vpod.tv homepage I thought I was seeing a Joost light version on the web. A fullscreen video of the infamous nunchuck guy was shown followed by several others. A menu would appear when I moved the mouse cursor over the lower region of the website showing the next videos on line and giving me some options to switch channels, skip videos and to open a secondary menu with more options.
The real beauty of this approach is that videos are played non stop. The interface is really slick and does not need to hide itself behind that of services like Joost or Bablegum. Several categories exist like Comedy, Sports and Animation to name a few.
Videos that are available at the moment should last for some time. I was not able to find information about updates on the site. The real beauty of the system is that everyone who registers may create his own video channels and share them on his website. Every user gets 600 megabytes of content which is great for video blogs for instance.

Looks like a copy/clone of neave.tv
Webbster> vpod.tv is not a destination site at all. Our value proposition is to enable anyone to create their own TV channel. To do so, we have a number of different interfaces available, including our full screen TV interface:
* it can be branded and use customer specific colours (see for example http://www.decideurstv.com)
* channels (ie the tabs) are generated automatically in the vpod.tv back office, and the content is easily managed in the back office.
* finally, the interface is fully extensible now through plugins available on the v-menu.
Expect many more features to show up quickly on this interface.
