While flipping through channels last night at around 1:00 or so in the morning, I stumbled across this channel called Current TV. It is based on the social website current.com in which users submitted content and then vote on it and the winners a placed on the TV channel to appear.

Why should you watch Current tv?
I think this is a great site for people to go to or watch on TV to stay up on everything that is current in the world. It has all subject categorizes, and gives the user what they want to learn or watch about, and not what the media wants you to know!
I feel like sometimes I try to stay up on current trends and events that are going on in the world, but major news channels and sites tend to give us content that is in the channels best interest and not the user or viewer!
Current. com gives the user the chance to provide the content and vote, just like the website digg.com.
Taken from the Current.com website this is what they are all about.
Current is about what's going on in your world: all the things you and your friends are actually interested in -- that you won't find on any other news site or cable TV channel.
Current.com is the place to find and share stories and videos that are interesting to you. It connects to Current TV, a global cable and satellite TV network.
