[...] Just a quick note: every once in a while I write about a company on TechCrunch that really sticks with me. Riya, Pandora, digg, etc. The most recent one is Gotuit, which we wrote about here. If you like watching music videos, try it out. I just wish there was an easier way to get links directly to the videos. The only way I can figure out how to do it is by emailing the video to myself and using the link in the email. Anyway, I highly recommend this. Favorite video right now: Beck, “Girl”. [...]

[...] What makes Gotuit interesting is that it isn’t user-driven, they have actually gone out and gotten content. You can see the news, listen to music videos, check out sports clips. As Michael Arrington says, this application furthers television’s demise. It is a great example of how Flash can be used not only to deliver multimedia, but deliver an entire experience around that multimedia. It is one of the selling points of the platform, and Gotuit does it very well. Richard McManus has some great info on the launch. [...]

Yeah, I’m looking forward to television’s demise. I mean, who wants to watch the Super Bowl on a 60-inch HDTV when I can be sooo Bleeding Edge 2.0 and watch music and viral videos on a little computer or cell phone screen.

gotoit statrted off selling their tagging and indexing software to cable operators and VOD server systems to make cable VOD a better experience. I think they’ve trialed on a Time Warner system. It’s a feature for a VOD experience, not a business. In my opinion it looks like they realized that, and tired of waiting for cable operators to deploy new technology, especially those not ad revenue supported, GoToit decided to place that content online, instead. My guess is that since their roots are not in content presentation, or being a network, that GoToit will not survive the long haul.

But I give them credit for their attempt at two important things - better content than a guy getting hit in the groin - which will never garner ad dollars and thus become a real distributor of quality video in the sense of a cable or TV distributor (a similar potential ad problem for social networks) - and an ad supported business model for content owners. After all, high quality content creation depends on ads or subscription. Thus, so does a migration of great content onto non-TV platforms.

I just tried it on 3 browsers across 4 computers in two locations. So far, it will not even load. Maybe they are getting hammered right now, but this does not bode well for them, at least as far as my interest in trying again.

Why can’t Pandora (or anyone else) get a licensing deal for on-demand audio? Well, their current service follows the DMCA provisions that qualify it for a statutory license, meaning they pay a pre-set rate and don’t need individual deals with labels. Once you start talking about on-demand, you need to do individual licensing deals. That’s a major undertaking. They certainly could get on-demand audio deals, but they’d be on the same terms as Napster, Rhapsody et al, which means forget about a free service with this functionality.

The fact that the labels allow on-demand free video is irrelevant. Irrational though it may be, the labels look at video as advertising and audio as “product”. It would be a major sea change for them to change their view on this.
