These seem pretty good overall. Although I am rather unconvinced with the twitter ones, but then again I always thought twitter was a waste of time. But the others seem good.
There a couple of surprises: (i) there are two single founders, and (ii) there are a couple of pairs that seem to be in the same space. Obviously embedster and embedly seem to be doing something similar, but there was also a couple of search engines that do something similar as well. I wonder what Paul thinks about that. Won't the competition cause bad vibes in the meetings, etc.
Of course it is possible that I was mislead by the short descriptions and the companies do not really compete.
- jfb 17y agojfb from nowmov here. There was never really any friction, the meetings always tended to be pretty matter-of-fact and collaborative. We didn't have any direct competition, so I don't want to speak for the embed* guys, but everything was always really collegial. There's a half-dozen or more of these guys that I'd put my own money into if I were an accredited investor (some that are still embargoed). The three sentences are really insufficient, I think. But then again, I'm biased.
- screeley 17y agoThere is no competition between embedly and embedster. One is a delivery network the other helps you generate revenue from the videos on your site. If anything we complement each other. (founder of embedly)
