Joakim Christiansen is a software developer and creator of a program that aggregates web-based "tv" shows. Though Christiansen's JLC TV is merely one of a number of such applications available, what really sets it apart is the developer's immersion in the project and commitment to its ongoing improvement. What Christiansen has done to keep the project evolving is to establish an online community of users who help him to keep the product's online database of stations continually updated, which in turn helps to ensure the preponderance of "dead" channels that plague other similar products. In fact, many reviewers have praised Christiansen's product for its functionality and more than one has referred to it as the best utility of its kind. Christiansen also scores points for his design and coding of the project, as it comes in at a mere 196 kilobytes, requiring no installation and can be conveniently loaded on a USB stick. Finally, the documentation and support that the developer has backed the product with is second to none, as Christiansen hosts a top-notch "help page" complete with tutorials on configuring and updating the program, complete with screenshots, and has even been praised by users for his responsiveness to questions and support issues. Overall the success of JLC TV owes much to the excellent design work, support and dedication of Joakim Christiansen.
