Democracy (I HATE Miro, sorry) just downloads video from the web that any player or program can get. Joost has content deals and thus has content Miro and others can't get access to (legally lol)
Plus, the application feels bloated and loads so slowly usually :|
Gotta agree with you there, I'd use this if it was fast and lightweight, having a single place to get your content is nice but I'd rather use iTunes podcast subscriptions over this, its just too slow.
