Is Online Video Currently NY’s Greatest Asset?
Allen Stern - November 2nd, 2007
Earlier this week was the NY Video Meetup. Somewhere around 250 NY’ers attended and viewed a variety of demos and a healthy video discussion. One thing rang true throughout – online video is HOT here in the city. So many companies, so many ideas and a amazing level of excitement/passion around online video.
Here are just a few of the companies in the online video space in the NYC area. I certainly forgot a bunch, so please leave them in the comments.
- Magnify.net – providing video upload, encoding, storage, delivery, and rev share mainly for video clips (CN Coverage)
- Blip.tv – a leader in episodic content (CN Coverage)
- 5min – moving offices to NYC next month – knowledge sharing (CN Coverage)
- Rocketboom – daily video show about anything with host Joanne Colan (CN Coverage)
- For Your Imagination – creating a variety of online-only video shows
- WallStrip – filming in NYC about stocks with host Lindsay Cambell
- Vimeo – video hoster and community creator (CN Coverage)
- ExpoTV – video reviews (CN Coverage)
- Kaltura – video collaboration (CN Coverage)

While other areas of the country and the world are creating online video, NY is where it’s at. Innovation, technology, people, community, it’s all here. And Madison Avenue and Google are here to monetize it all.

You’re spot on here. Video is definitely our biggest asset in the start-up world.
Hey I have been using Kyte.tv for months and now have a fan following. It’s a great tool for me since i take a lot of photos. The chat feature is cool too since a lot of people ask where i take my photos and now I have the means to answer them.
If you are looking for a little levity, we have a running comedy show, now on winter hiatus, called stop me if you heard this – http://www.stopmeifyouheardthis.com
We run it off of Magnify, and love them.
beYOU.tv is an NYC-based online video service offering fitness and wellness video including yoga, pilates, tai chi, qigoing, bootcamp, motivational, meditation, spiritual and more. beYOU.tv provides a unique viewing experience for its users through three viewing options: videos may be watched for free with advertising, purchased and downloaded (free of annoying DRM) or users may subscribe for a low monthly fee to watch uninterrupted fullscreen video. beYOU.tv is the lovechild of DoubleOne Media LLC and is the first of many sites focused on the large instructional video space (sports enthusiasts stay tuned).
