A lot of our activities these days are focused on the American market. I mainly watch american online shows, and I was in a meeting couple of days ago, where some participants said that there is no real European online video industry.
As a person who lived in Germany for couple of years, it seemed extremely odd to me – and Mike Arrington came to the rescue, with his post today, where he mentioned the fact that 45% of Europeans watch online videos.
Next month we will be at Podcamp Europe, and meet all the great guys that are building this amazing industry there.
In the mean time – can anyone recommend good European online shows for me?
The problem is that most of the big name innovators are in Silicon Valley http://valleywag.com - Amazon, eBay, Google, Tivo, Apple, iPod, YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and on and on. Skype came from Europe but who would know that on the street. Skype is now in Silicon Valley. A lot comes out of the Boston area and Boston is #2 for venture capital but the general public has not heard of Bay Networks, Ascend, NMS, Sonus, Akamai, or BrightCove. They have heard of Flash but not Abode.
Hey, We Forgot Europe Again
