In July I compared Brightcove to YouTube and said I would provide feedback after a few months. Well yesterday I received an email from Brightcove informing me that our free OnOrbit corporate account which was based on advetising revenue sharing was being discontinued as of December 17th and I had the option to become a paid customer.
Now getting back to the my previous post where I was comparing traffic each service generated all I can say is that YouTube has continued to blow Brightcove out of the water. In fact not too long ago I posted a video to YouTube that got picked up by Wired and the next thing we knew it had 249,026 views and we saw our subscribers jump dramatically. So now that we have to make the decision on Brightcove I think YouTube has already made it for us. So in the future you'll see all our videos on our YouTube channel. And now that you can view them in their pristine hi-res version, so much the better.
