YouTube is awesome. Anyone can create their own television station with a few clicks and a palette of patience. Time Magazine even named it “Invention of the Year” in 2006. Google gave up $1.6 billion of its shares to acquire it!
Well, if you are sick of personal video publishing, or just want to watch some regular TV on your laptop, check out FreeTube.
You can watch almost any channel that you want. Cartoon Network, The Weather Channel, MSNBC, Food Network, even ESPN. Granted, the video quality is poor for some stations, but you can still watch them live. One of the cooler features is the ability to watch local television from stations in other metropolitan areas. You can watch ABC 7 in Chicago, or CCTV 20 in Charlotte.
You can also watch a number of international channels. There is a Chinese sports channel called CCTV 5 that was showing a UEFA soccer games. Still in search of Osama Bin Laden? Flip to Al Jazeera.
Some channels didn’t work though, like SumoTV, which promises to show zany and viral video content, but they have a website too.
They even have a webcam section with interesting channels like Bear Cam, which shows a live webcam feed of bears in a wildlife exhibit. Prison Cam shows a live feed from Harrison County Adult Detention Center in Mississippi. The sherriff department’s website shows the same feed, but requires you to agree to a list of terms. It says, “While not common, by accessing this video feed, you acknowledge that you may be exposed to possible nudity and/or possible violence.” haha
Pregnant? You can watch BabyTV, a UK channel especially created for expectin
