Meaningful Moments

As you probably know, the end of the year at the blogsphere is the time when bloggers summarize the year and make predictions for the upcoming year. Personally, I am going to leave the summarizing and forecasting tasks to my colleagues. The only thing that I will say in this context is answer a question I was asked by a fellow blogger friend. He asked me what was one of the most meaningful moments in my industry/business/market?

I think that finding out that one of the leading players in the web video sharing arena points out the need to have more friendly tools to capture life moments and broadcast them easily to the web video community live is a meaningful moment for us; in other words, there is a huge demand for what Flixwagon, the company I just joined, offers.

And in case you still don't know what I am talking about [and that is totally ok :)] I am referring to what YouTube co-founder Steve Chen said in an interview to Om Malik and Liz Gannes @ NewTeeVee Conference about a month ago:

Liz Gannes: "What's Youtube in 3 years?"
Steve Chen: I think that we're gonna see probably some stuff with a lot easier... I still think it's a problem with how to capture most of the videos on youtube and how to get them on to the site so we're gonna see just content creation tools getting better but getting easier. So I think that some of the new cell phones being able to just capture the videos and directly sending them without having to go home to your desktop plug it in the USB and then find the file and upload it. I think that's gonna get a lot better. I think there are still a lot of situations in the past were people said "oh shocks I wish I had my digital camera here to capture this" and now it's probably, with cell phones, it's I wish I had my cell phone out to capturing. So maybe something else there to be able to just almost capture everything that is happening and then anytime that something is interesting you can --
Liz Gannes: "live video capture?"
Steve Chen: "A third eye..."
