		<description>Gang it is a LOT more than just caption bubbles. As the article points out it is links, ads, information windows, etc. Don&#039;t focus on the bubbles but focus on &quot;overlay technology&quot; - the ability to insert interactive images into a video or make any object inside a video interactive. Now there is some real opportunity in that space. www.veeple.com is developing some of the same technology so check out what they are doing as well, it is pretty cool.</description>

		<description>How do we know that some startups aren&#039;t doing &quot;faux VC deals&quot; -- paper deals with insider friends, to boost the valuations of their companies, so that they can later scam a second round of cash from outside investors...?

I would think this would be possible.   If a startup knows someone who is willing to fake a first-round VC deal, all they have to do is draw up the phony paperwork and transfer money from one account to another.

Then later, when they get the second round (i.e., real money), the startup people and their friends, the phony VC investors, just split the money from the deal and create phony-baloney &quot;positions&quot; for each other, living off their salaries until they can put money into a new &quot;deal&quot;.  

I&#039;m not saying anyone in particular has done this, but with the frivolity and triviality of so many investments we&#039;ve been seeing these days, it&#039;s almost inconceivable that *real* VCs would be investing *real* money into these companies.</description>

<p>I would think this would be possible.   If a startup knows someone who is willing to fake a first-round VC deal, all they have to do is draw up the phony paperwork and transfer money from one account to another.</p>
<p>Then later, when they get the second round (i.e., real money), the startup people and their friends, the phony VC investors, just split the money from the deal and create phony-baloney &#8220;positions&#8221; for each other, living off their salaries until they can put money into a new &#8220;deal&#8221;.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying anyone in particular has done this, but with the frivolity and triviality of so many investments we&#8217;ve been seeing these days, it&#8217;s almost inconceivable that *real* VCs would be investing *real* money into these companies.</p>

		<description>BTW, with respect to my comments @1 above, I assume their ultimate aim is to market it for web advertising, because there is simply no other profitable business model for this.

If they try to sell it to the 14 year-old boy crowd, and charge them for it, their audience will get bored with it after 1 or 2 uses, or until they discover some widget somewhere that foes the same thing.

And like I said, the potential to make money selling this to advertisers is almost nil, because the technology is so generic that it will migrate to open source soon, and companies with money will have the money to hire professional ad agencies.</description>

		<description>This reminds me of Omnisio, which was highlighted on TechCrunch months ago. Is PLYmedia taking a different direction? The fundamental technology doesn&#039;t seem that &#039;revolutionary&#039;.
