We have an extremely limited, clunky system that controls our web content, and an easy solution for not only publishing, but video as well seems like it could relieve a lot of my daily workload (not to mention stress). I followed the link and can't wait to see the personal demo. I’m a webmaster at a local station in Austin.

The CMS is offered as both a hosted and an installable product. We do have a widget that allows for including fully custom code. - Cade Dude and Ed -

As a follow up to the earlier question, so this is not offered as a hosted solution? -Dude Cade-

I think we have developed a flexible product that will allow local media companies the ability to fully integrate their newsroom into their website. With drag and drop page creation and integration of ads, blogs, stories, live streaming video (with DVR capabilities), podcasts, polls, etc. content creation is fast and simple. The flash player you see on AR-D is totally skinable. If you guys have any other questions, shoot me an email at cade AT synapse DOT ws. I am one of the Synapse developers.

The flash player on AR&D's front page comes with a Synapse copyright, too. Not that there's anything wrong with that -- if they can provide value on top of Synapse's CMS, more power to them. The bigger issue is design -- that player looks like it's straight out of 1998. Either Synapse or AR&D needs to hire a design firm ASAP. It does look like a white-label version of Synapse’s product.
