I recently reinstalled the Veoh client to see a video a friend wanted to get to me (I tried it out in the first beta and uninstalled shortly after). Right after the install, my computer crashed and would not reboot. The hard drive was irredeemably fried. I thought it was a coincidence, thinking “how could an application do that?” So, I told a friend about the video, and told him what happened to me. Thinking it had to be a coincidence he installed the Veoh client and it killed his computer in exactly the same way.

Maybe the $30mm will pay for damages to users’ machines, or it’s to fund the Veoh cyberwarfare operation.

I am glad to see Dmitry, Steve and the VEOH team bring in some more capitol.

I am interested to see how they continue to evolve and grow viewers and engagement. They continue to evolve in ways that I think are quite positive and actually make them quite different from daily motion and Metacafe. I have been a big VEOH fan since early on.

If you check Quantcast’s stats for Veoh – which for Veoh are accurate as they use the Quantcast tracking cookie – it’s more like 15% of visitors that are now blocked. And that includes Brazil, India, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa – we’re hardly talking third world here.

@Zach, re-read the article. It clearly states they blocked many countries, and only kept the ones worthy of revenue generation. Go back to the commune!

This is silly though, b/c I know a company in the video space that clearly domnates and has WAAAY more than $30M to win. Yeah, Google is ignoring the mobile market o_O ? Serious?

iPhone and Android already under development, hmm.
Verizon is not a company one can work with easily (remember they turned down the iPhone)

Disclosure: I don’t care for the ethics of Intel capital and fail to believe their fund has any potential.

I love how everybody’s praising them for raising $30 million but it seems that NOBODY knows that they blocked access to all but 33 markets/countries.

http://www.zach...auaus.com/?p=17 <– Link to the story I broke on my blog and Gadgetell that NO major markets picked up on.

So sure, woohoo for them getting $30 million.

Congrats to Dmitry (Veoh’s founder). Veoh continues to innovate in the online video space and their traffic growth is a sign that their strategy is working. I think there is room in the space for at least one other player besides YouTube. Veoh now has the largest war chest to play with and a very smart team. I’d bet on them to win 2nd place in the space.

They are doing great but they close their site for Turkey. Now we cant reach any content of them. The reason $$$ i think.

@Will:

Very true. Hulu is indeed spawn of Hollywood… but if they had any guts as a video site, they’d offer more than just branded TV shows and movies.

“While Hulu and Joost spend their time sucking up to Hollywood…”

Those stat’s are in millions correct? Because site with 20.000 total unique visitors wouldn’t have that many videos, heck just my video was watched over 70.000+ times I have 55 of them more lol

They are just iTunes wanna be.

The only reason they added 5 minute preview was because they wanted people to use APP more then website , just watch out what is going to happen now that they got 30 mills!

Telling you Michael…
