Welcome to Lugnut
Friday, June 16th, 2006Lugnut, founded in June, 2006, is a blog that focuses on reviewing new web 2.0 video products and companies. At a time when this space is getting overcrowded and oversold (some estimations now of 100+ video sharing companies, with 20+ being funded!), the video-sharing industry needs to have a dedicated space for review, trading ideas and keeping up on the latest offerings, as well as understanding how the space is starting to segment. Lugnut is edited by Lars Krumme, a serial streaming entrepreneur who first started streaming NPR Broadcasts for the Ford Foundation in 1995, founded Online Video Service (a Public Affiars Webcasting Company) in 1999, co-founded HomeMovie.Com in 2000, and is currently EVP Sales & Marketing for HomeMovie.Com. Other authors will be joining Lugnut in September.
What is "Video Sharing?"
The Video Sharing space is becoming crowded and already starting to see segmentation - Community Viral Sharing Sites (YouTube, Grouper, Google Video, etc.), Video Sharing Enablers (Video Egg), and Web-based Video-Editing & Private Sharing Companies (HomeMovie.Com, OneTrueMedia, JumpCut, etc.)
Like all good blogs, I will endeavor to be as objective as possible in my current my position and encourage a vibrant two-way communication platform. Comments, trackbacks and other feedback will always be welcome.
