We obviously spoke too soon when calling
video tech jobs the object of the online video gold rush. Content deals are where it's at. Big fish like Viacom are
going to Joost, while
singing their own praises in terms of pushing internal video. Joost in turn is
pursuing moderate players like JumpTV. Not to be outdone, Google has
signed up the BBC for Youtube, even while it pursues
a host of littler deals (and we enjoy how the
New York Times likens the NBA to a "smaller media company"). So if you have some video content lying around that no one is bothering to pirate anyway, why not cash in with a little Youtube money? It's a seller's market, at least for the next 30 days or so.
