Podcache is a site extension for www.mefeedia.com, it is essentially a cache for videologs.
It works by retrieving an rss feed of the user's queue (an aggregated feed of all the video feeds the user is subscribed to), and downloading the videos enclosed in the feed. When the user visits the "watch videos" page on mefeedia, the page is rewritten (in a fashion similar to greasemonkey) so that the cached videos are served from the hard-disk instead of over the net. The effect is a much smoother, instantaneous user experience. My hope is that it will evolve into a more generally useful podcasting client, either integrated with other sites, or as a pure firefox extension (ie. site independent).
