More on the Plaxo acquisition (no WSJ subscription required for this one)
In simple terms, Comcast wants to be a sort of Facebook of video sharing. As Mr. Schwartz explained it, if you love an episode of “Lost,” you will eventually be able to use Plaxo’s multi-platform connection technology and Comcast’s video-licensing agreements to share it with your friends. “We can bring you the show,” he said.
Plaxo, based in Mountain View, Calif., had been looking for a buyer since at least January. Comcast was a natural partner since Plaxo was already providing the Philadelphia-based cable giant with software to help integrate its cable TV, phone and Internet services into a common platform.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of video sharing sites around. You sure have heard about YouTube, Revver or Dailymotion, but there are many others competing to be the number one, or targeting a specific audience, whether geographically (China, Japan, Turkey...), by language (German, Arabic, French...) or for the kind of content they enable to publish (cooking, planes, extreme sports...).
I have compiled a growing list of more than 600 video sharing sites and video search engines that you can check at http://www.ilikesharingvideos.com/video-sharing-sites/en/
For each of them, you will get useful information such as their history, the country from which most of their visitors come, their niche, their rank, their latest news...
This site offers some other interesting features, like a list of video search engines, how to make money with your videos, how to create your own YouTube site.
So if you are interested in video search engines, publishing your own videos, or even online video marketing, give an eye to this site, it worths it.
Cheers
