Meevee Acquired by LiveUniverse
Techcrunch is reporting that the exciting online tv guide Meevee has been acquired by LiveUniverse. No amount has been provided by editor Michael Arrington but his guess is "less than $25 million." My guess is that an online video TV guide was a bit ahead of its time when they began operations in 2000. Today with almost every video clip offering an embeddable option, a tv guide might have more of a chance to make it big.
LiveUniverse has been on an acquisition spree as of late acquiring start page provider PageFlakes last month and video hosting service Revver a month earlier.
Tilzy is a NY-based online video guide that provides video show reviews along with a what to watch guide. They list hundreds of shows in their database. Check out our interview with the Tilzy founders.
i like tilzy but the site looks like poo
In 2000, an online video TV guide was definitely way ahead of its time due to broadband being so dismal back then. So good for them for sticking it out. Do you remember LA-based Lineup (founded by Jeffrey Stern)? Lineup was ahead of its time, too, but unfortunately they fell into the deadpool when the bubble popped.
