Same old same old. Other than what’s on Youtube who really cares about more new video sites. What a waste!

Having looked at the NNN channels such as Ultra Kawaii I would think that they are targeting small niches yet they may use production staff making their fixed costs high.

Thus, it seems they need the raised money to cover high burn rate especially if the primary channel where they are found is youtube (equals no revenues).

But, they don’t need too many channels to take off to make the money back. Good bet, bad bet, who knows.

Congrats to NNN. Does anyone know - especially given the YouTube story today - what percentage of NNN views come on YouTube? Based on checking traffic on some of the channel URLs that it is over 90%. How do we start to think about this issue, not so much for NNN, for the online video industry in general? All of these how-to sites popping up…what percent of their views come from YouTube? How much of your brand is diluted when you exist primarily in that venue? One guesses that it is an issue when you see the emphasis on being on AOL now…but even assuming they get a ton of traffic there, does that solve or actually compound the issue?

VC’s should look outside of the USA, the Romanian start up trilulilu.ro that also launched in Jan 2007 for example has a lot more video views each month, but then its UGC perhaps that isn´t fashionable anymore.

Fantastic news for the NNN’ers. They’re working hard over there, and this is definitely validation for the online TV space. Rev3 and NNN are trailblazing.
