KnockaTV: yet another user generated video site?

While it's not entirely clear that the world needs another user-generated video website, we're at least a little intrigued by the teaser trailer at KnockaTV. The people behind this video sharing site are the folks who brought us ICQ, one of the first successful online chat applications.

The site hasn't even launched a private beta yet, so we can't tell you what, if anything, sets it apart from the dozens of other YouTube wannabes out there. In fact, the promotional video links together dozens of videos, some of which you've probably seen on YouTube, including the popular Will it Blend podcast and quite a few videos of young girls dancing in ways that would maker their parents... umm... proud?

It looks like the goal might be to present videos one after another in a TV-like style, with users voting on which videos should come next. Or perhaps, as Mike Arrington speculates, your personal voting preferences will determine which videos show up on your personalized "channel," much the way Pandora creates custom audio streams for individual users.

You can currently sign up to beta test the site as a video producer or viewer.
