I wrote a little about this last week when the news broke about Joost and Maven. Please enjoy, as it comes from a slightly different perspective: http://www.veep...e.com/wp/?p=171

oh, and i forgot, content noone cares about. if people have good content, truly great content, streaming it themselves (unless they just suck) just isnt that hard to do. get a couple of hulu-fanboys to do your interface and rake in (err.. our out) the dough.
on your mark… get set… lose money!!!

White Label == no biz model, many squeaky wheels and too little oil. good luck. FAIL.

While being a competitor in the video aggregation market I will admit that Magnify has ‘mature’ as a platform. When I first took a look at their UI, I hated it, it was too confusing. Today it is much better and I see that they are learning from their mistakes. Kudos guys!!! For those who care and to give a shameless plug, my site is myVidster.com which is not a white label solution but a social video bookmarking and video backup solution.

Hate to say it but WorldTV.com is nothing like Magnify.net’s social platform. What makes Magnify unique is their CMS back end that allows you to add things like blogs, twitter feeds, live streaming modules, and many others. WorldTV just looks like a giant player.

I’m surprised you’ve not mentioned WorldTV.com – it offers an extremely user friendly ‘create your own, curate your own’ video channel platform. Over 150,000 channels created by users in 190 countries. P.S. It’s cashflow positive already.

Broccoli, in the white label space, there is also Ooyala, Videobloom and Dave Networks. The model is simple: offer a good service, someone will pay for it… Ha,that’s new!

Whats the biz model though? As most sites as reluctant to pay anything when everyone is giving it all away for free! I always get nervous when a company writes… “will be profitable at the end of the year” meaning… we shall work it out somehow…
P.S. – Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!

i know magnify.net founder Steve Rosenbaum personally – one thing most people who come to this online video world don’t have that Steve has is a background in professional film/video production – he has an intuitive understanding that takes years of being on both sides of the fence and magnify is a place where people can curate content – also magnify might just be a model for the future of NEWS – i watched the oscars from british tv without american commercials on magnify.net too – in full disclosure i have no investment or interests in magnify.net

Magnify is alone in its class, I know the space well. Kyte, and others like it are ’streaming’ services. magnify.net has focused hard on a platform to build your own YouTube with your branding, your site UI, etc.

Also @needmula.com, Skype is also a terrible name (sounds to me like a disease) but very successful. You could argue that Google sounds stupid too

I think you can add wwwfliqz.com to the mix, too, no?

craig,

can you disclose what that 50,000th channel is? Would be really helpful to see what these guys can do…

The key difference here is that a white label service brings in revenue through service fees against the higher level features and branding of the platform vs. the hope of shoving advertising into a mix.
