‘NBC Universal and News Corp. have yet to name the joint- venture and for the moment it is being called New Site, now we call it HULU.....
Providence equity has put in 100 mio dollar to launch the youtube killer.
Will this challenge be real?
Let's forget the name and don't spend the Michael Arrington hours in it to discuss that, let's focus on the goals
What will they have to do to become the next 1 billion dollar initiative.
Have the greatest content, be easy, free or the best design?
Bokardo wrote an interesting post about it, : what it you tube was just lucky?
How does the buzz work and where and what are the moments of truth of the buzz.
Perhaps the answer for Bokardo´s blog will come when HULU becomes the next big thing, or won´t become this.
I really don´t have the answer. And why do they think there´s still a market to grab or to win new users.
What will the user interface be, what is the target group, who can do what in user generated content on the site?
A lot of questions, less answers. but we will try the beta and see what happens!

Allofmp3 back on track!
Will Allofmp3 just come back, according to them they will be back in the foreseeable future.
Why the statement, they won the legal case of 15th august, or so the court ruled that the previous CEO was not guilty of breaching Russian copyright laws, and therefore the AllofMP3 service was legal.
EMI, NBC Universal and Time Warner where the big guys leading the dance of the legal matter.
What will follow now, Allofmp3 reopening without any changes. This will turn the music world upside down.
And will lead many players to russia to copycat!
Interesting, we will follow the matter!

news from the swoot front
Back to blog again after an amazing period. of course the holiday season should be more quiet. We experienced pretty much the opposite.
what happened:
We are currently in progress to take the next step with our company. We will go live in the US within a month, with an office and a cooperation with some great people. More to follow soon!
We almost finished our portal website and continued working on the swoot community. Portal will go out of beta within the next weeks. The community will go live in beta within the same couple of weeks. Do you want to be a test user for the sowot community, let me know!
Furthermore our partner in Belgium launched the comic browser for the Kiekeboe comics.
Our new plugin is live and working great. If you already have the plugin. go to start, go to TAC, uninstall this and install the new one.
This new plugin provides unlimited creativity for builders of RIA applics on the TAC technology. We call them Taccel's now. So if you build some great stuff with the Swoot TAC technology, you call it a Taccel!!
