who will win the video battle?

Bram Cohen, the creator of bittorrent technology, who announced on Friday he has bought µTorrent? This guy smells something, he keeps doing weird distribution deals with media networks, but i really don’t know anyone who is using his company’ service.
Just to make sure, save old µTorrent versions, you can never know.

Fox, Viacom, CBS and NBC, that are talking about creating a rival for YouTube? I guess if Yahoo or Microsoft joins the club, we will have an interesting battle for offering even better services.

YouTube, who is launching new features on the site, the newest being the possibility to upload recordings directly fom a video camera video or a mobile phone.

They all have their problems. Cohen must fight torrent sites like piratebay, youtube must fight video processing time, which in some cases exceeds a few hours. And the others must bring something new or something better. Cohen has a revolutionary technology, YouTube has a money giant, FOx and Viacom have tons of content.

ps: pornotube, one of my favorite contestants, lost when it failed the bandwidth test. they had a chance, but it needs money to create something great.
