What Next For Video Content

If you produce [tag-tec]video content[/tag-tec] of any kind and are purely looking for audiences YouTube is the place to be. It appears that YouTube’s intention is to carry on pretty much the same, and why would they want to change if they are the fourth most popular website on earth. But if you run a blog with over 200K viewers, according to Martin Varsavsky, platforms such as Vpod are better because you can control them more.

Martin chooses YouTube for the audience. Vpod.tv for the superb quality and Sevenload for the ease of use and the ability to upload both pictures and video. He also talks about other platforms that he invests in as he sees a great future for them such as Azureus.

Mobuzz.tv is not a platform, you cannot send your videos to Mobuzz nor can you download other people’s videos. Mobuzz creates original content for the internet and had 4.5 million downloads last month. With so many platforms relying on user generated content, Martin now see a great opportunity for those who are doing more original work.

[tag-ice]Dailymotion[/tag-ice], is only second to YouTube, in audience figures. It seems that the one big difference between these platforms is one of morality. YouTube has to follow American puritan standards, which I am at a loss to understand as the USA is home to the worlds largest pornography industry, but there you go.
