VidYard isn't really much of an innovation, in fact, Bits on the Run has been doing this - better - for quiet some time. VidYard is caught in between trying to emulate YouTube and being a streaming hosting provider without convincing me of either strengths. BOTR offers an elegant API, skin-able players, pay-as-you-go usage, statistics and, as an option, a totally configurable ad platform plugin for the player that works with more than one ad platform. FWIW, I know VidYard does a lot of this, too, but what's the YouTube angle doing for them? Other than having a chart comparing them to community-based video platforms? EDIT: Down-vote if you want, but provide a reason. Otherwise, I'll assume: "he said something about my startup, get him!"
