Their real strength is in assisting media companies, small and large, with executing quality online video and helping to monetize it.

They also recently implemented fingerprinting technology for video and audio that flags content that violates copyrights in their systems and automatically deletes that content.

Hopefully this new development will allow them to focus more on the relationships with media companies rather than trying to partially compete with Youtube.
