HooQs.com - Create Your Own Channel

In this day and age, there’s no excuse for watching bad TV. With the advent of streaming channels, “But it’s the only thing on”, has become a phrase of the past. If you’re interested in abandoning your TV set for a bit, HooQs is a new video app which lets you create your own channels and then send them to mobile devices or enjoy them online. If you’re not creatively inclined, just subscribe to channels already compiled by other users. To find or create channels, simply run a search (by category or keyword). Select the videos or channels you want, and add them to your feed. You can also keep track of what other users are watching by adding them to your watchlist and subscribing to their feeds. It’s also easy to send feeds to mobile phones; just select the “Send to Mobile” option which appears after viewing the video. The site is completely free of charge, and works on any video-enabled mobile device.

“HooQs enables you to enjoy your favorite videos and music straight from your mobile phone or wireless device – without any installation or hassle.

You can build your own channels from various media sources and HooQs delivers them straight to your mobile phone, and creates a personal mobile portal that is tailored just for you!”

HooQs makes it incredibly easy to create and share channels. It’s a good point of departure for anyone just starting to experiment with feeds, since the site is really user-friendly and not full of complicated terminology.

HooQs really isn’t anything new, so how will it compete with sites like YouTube Desktop which already have a loyal fanbase? Why can’t users create a channel which consists of multiple video clips from the HooQs site? It would also be interesting if HooQs offered an add-on for MySpace or Facebook that let users upload their clips to their personal profiles.
