As the first big web show aquisition, people thought the purchase of Wallstrip would be the first of many. It even spawned a few rip offs . Conversly, it’s canceleation was thought of as an omen for the crumbling video economy. [...]

Is there any reason you left out ViralTracker? Is it because they are not a start-up anymore?

I could imagine that, since WPP has bought it. They buy lots of digital companies, but mostly the successful ones and not start-ups. See this ViralBlog post about ViralTracker:

Given the dynamic nature of the video market, who are some of the more viable online video aggregators to look for in 2009? Tx.

- OBG will cave and start giving waaay more media up for free.
- New media producers MUST find a new way to show new content to OBG, the people with real production money instead of taking a dvd to some office in NY or LA. They will.
- We may dislike OBG but we’ll find a happy medium soon.
- Content IS king and will be soon again. Amercia is getting tired of reality tv and remakes of movies we love.
- We have not sold out either. We have a great fan base. http//:www.captainbalsto.com

  1. P2P based video distribution technology will become the norm. It will get licensed, and the companies holding patents will laugh their way to the bank (or shoe-boxes, given the trust levels for banks)

  2. Technology companies will not dominate the video distribution business. Media companies will.

  3. Google and/or Apple will rethink their server based distribution technology, given the green pressures.

  4. Integrated “living room IP” solutions for the masses (think TV) will be postponed until economy improves.

  5. CE Chip companies will see Intel as threat – and will rally around to keep it away.

  6. Apple will rethink Flash

  7. A major media house will launch a hot video show, exclusive to the internet (think reality TV)

  8. Media companies will open up tonnes of content for free in SD resolution – from 3 years or older movies/tv shows to 1 day or older sports …

  9. Ad spend percentages will not change (from 2008) for different media. Total spends will.

  10. Video mashups will emerge (as tech demonstrators, if nothing more).

They always, ALWAYS screw it up and leave plenty of room for start-ups to wipe them out.

This will play out the same way with video – its not the content that keeps them at the top its their monopoly of distribution channels.

I agree with Adam that this will play out in the same manner as music and the written word. The yet unkown tech start-up will win in the end while the suits and egos of the big media companies will sit around with their thumbs up their overpaid asses.

I agree that video is still a great marketing tool. Especially the new sites where video walks right out in front of all the content! Like http://www.WebSiteWalkOuts.com

Nailed it. It seems to be clear, especially in a tighter economy, the bricks and “established” clicks in video publishing will be the winners / survivors. Understanding these shakeouts always occur for different reasons, and know what to offer and position, as well as manage, is central to startups that expect to get through today’s environment.
