Miro gets refreshed to version 1.1, Bit Torrent dramatically improved
Second, Miro 1.1 has made it easier to find the search results you're looking for by instituting a combined search across all 5 of their search engines. Users who want to only search the engines one at a time can still do so by choosing the engines they're most interested in seeing results from.

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening.

I can't get into Miro. I've tried it a few times, but in the end I just go back to using WMP or iTunes. I'm not a big Youtube watcher, and the rest of the vidcasts I watch I can d/l through iTunes.
There were also a few annoying bugs/hang-ups that soured me a bit.
In the end, while it was a decent utility, it didn't "wow" me enough to switch away from what I currently use.

Miro is *amazing* for bittorrent feeds like the ones on the front page of Mininova.
Also, this site for TV:

I agree Miro is very good.
