[skunkworks] Viability of Business Model

[John Hughes - VideoMetro, Inc.]

Title: Viability of Business Model

Some time ago I asked the list for some feed back on our “Video Community in
a Box” software that we are developing. I got very little response, so I am
asking again.

My company Videometro’s core strategy is to build a software app that we
license to web sites desirous of offering their members the ability to
upload, promote, publish, share their personally created digital video. Our
revenue is to be derived from licensing fees, integrating fees, and hosting
and serving fees. Our competitors include, Popcast, Iclips, Videoshare,
maybe Earthnoise etc, no doubt people from those companies are on this list,
their feedback would be appreciated too.

My questions. Is this a viable model, is there sufficient interest from
consumers to use these sort of services, if so how much will web sites be
willing to pay, and  how are they going to pass this charge on to their
users. The closest analogy I can think of are the photo-sharing sites, which
so far seemed to have all sorts of problems with creating a viable revenue
stream.

Really interested in the list opinion. help
