So, Yahoo! has acquired Jumpcut it appears and for a much more reasonable sum than Sony were charged for the P2P stuff behinf the otherwise unimpressive Grouper. What does this mean for online video overall we ask?
Well it seems that, as one VC pointed out to me the other day, everyone wants an online video hosting provider in their portfolio at the moment, and also that they are all looking for some kind of differentiation for their services... Editing might be it but we have found that the vast majority of our customers are actually looking to take some of the pain out of editting - rather than take the tiresome activity to a less controllable environment. Online video host Mydeo have partnered with Muvee and Microsoft Movie Maker to try to enable those who want to keep it simple to upload content whether it is heavily edited or otherwise.
