Very interesting notes from a conversation between Loic and geeks.
Nothing better that to read it quickly.
Remember the landscape starts with the leaders as Youtube or DailyMotion and ranges from Joost, Bablegum to Eyeka and others. But the number of players in this field, 300 or more, makes it difficult from the outside to read their competitive advantages and their differences. Here are a couple of keys : many players offer tools to build all or part of a web TV. Others position themselves as media and want to build for example a “fashion TV” or a “Senior TV”.
Why i think Eyeka will emerge. They are about copyrighted content, build programs, have sold their first one to a broadcast TV and a web TV. Programs will come from amateurs, semi-pros and pros around their passions. That’s thousands of hours of talented shows for new media which do not have the same technical requirements as broadcast TV. Eyeka is about monetizing content, not monetizing traffic. Doesn’t that make a big difference?
