Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?
By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Vidiac: 'Boxers and Basement' Video Start Up Reaches Traffic Milestones
Leading Internet video enablement platform grows network, users thirty-fold in six months

By: PR Newswire
Mar. 1, 2006 04:53 PM

ATLANTA, March 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Vidiac, a leading Internet provider of free video hosting services announces substantial traffic and content gains -- well ahead of its projections set a year ago this week.

Riding a wave of remarkable industry growth, Vidiac has grown thirty fold over the past six months. Vidiac, started with its founders spare time and spare change is now regularly streaming over 1.5 million videos per day to 2.5 million unique users per month from a library of over 30,000 user created videos. The Vidiac team has achieved these remarkable metrics debt-free -- and currently has no external investors.

"We're all a bit surprised, and substantially pleased, by the velocity of demand for streaming video," said Adam Bruce, Co-founder. "We knew we'd hit our targets. We had no idea it would be in less than six months. We were just three guys messing around with video codecs in our spare time -- we're fans."

Vidiac's business model enables web-site owners -- regardless of size -- to grow their traffic and revenue with no capital outlay. Unlike business peers YouTube and Mania TV -- who drive traffic to their own site -- Vidiac enables video functionality on its affiliates' sites in less than 24 hours. Due to the special nature of the content Vidiac provides and enables, affiliates don't compete for content assets -- nor do they pay for storage or streaming. Substantially different than current online video business models, Vidiac is built to support an affiliate network of varied special interests as opposed to a singular general interest site like Google video.

"Our new automated affiliate management functionality provides our customers with advanced web services like rich media RSS, and streaming video," said Vidiac Co-founder Jeremy Farber. "Our affiliates can add video content faster than they can blog. We enable our affiliates' websites to become video channels in addition to the content they currently provide."

Vidiac Co-founder Chris Jones continued: "Customers are delighted that they can keep the integrity of their own URL and maintain graphic and visual identity and continuity. Vidiac's service creates a virtuous circle of web interaction that benefits all participants."

"Vidiac's growth is proof that online video's rising tide is raising all ships. The fact that Vidiac is uniquely devoid of adult content, violence, or copyrighted material makes it an ideal place for advertisers to feel good about leveraging the power and popularity of consumer generated content," said media analyst Tom Barnes of Mediathink -- an Atlanta-based consulting firm. "Advertisers looking for the 'lost' 18-24 year old demographic need go no further than the streaming video content provided by platforms like Vidiac."
