If I can just search for a video in my browser’s google box, why do I need all these other agg sites?

I wandering, is that ads? If so, why they still have no ads on their’ website?

I’m just interesting because it all looks very strange for me. I’m video businessman also.

I wonder about the valuation of Dailymotion and Metacafe…

Imagine if Fox had decided the network TV space was too crowded back in the mid-80s?</p> <p>However, I do see a move away from these silos and more towards destinations where i can find, collect, and discover videos from any site with my friends. If fragmentation of the audience has taught us anything, it is that people want to enjoy a wide variety of content from many sources, but don't want to waste too much time finding it. Of course, I am biased in this view. :)</p> There will be room for winners, big and small, in the video space. Imagine if Fox had decided the network TV space was too crowded back in the mid-80s?

Now the field has narrowed. I really do not think established media companies are really in a good position to replicate viral successes like that of DailyMotion; culturally and technically they are not adept at doing this. This is the world of media (but not as we know it) and YT, whilst clearly the dominant player, is unlikely to replicate the kind of dominance that GoogleSearch and MSN Messenger have achieved in Europe, for example. In the world of the future of broadcasting, there is place for more than one large winner.</p> Last year when we funded DailyMotion I think there were about 50 sites with 2M uniques or so.
