35 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute. Several start-ups all trying to do online video curation. But they all think people want CollegeHumor.com or "skateboarding dogs" (to quote Sal Khan of Khan Academy). http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/31/video-curation-is-growing-up-shortform-hits-one-million-visitors/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/31/video-curation-is-growing-u...
- nostrademons 16y agoI think he meant in the application rather than here... (Also, I'd be careful about using news articles as market validation. When I was doing my startup, casual games were all the rage, and a bunch of articles had just appeared on how casual game creation [the space we were in] would be huge. It never panned out. Not only did we fail, but all of our competitors failed too, and the market just didn't develop. If you look hard enough - and as a startup founder, you look pretty hard - you can find an article to support just about any position. It doesn't mean that position is right, it just means that somebody bothered to write about it.)
