I launched my latest start-up, http://www.sproutvideo.com , on last monday. It's a discount commercial video hosting platform. I built the service in a little under three weeks because it needed to get done ASAP.<p>Back Story:
A little over 5 months ago, I left my job at Motionbox.com. Motionbox ended up getting bought by SnapFish who had no interest in keeping any of the pro users (people hosting commercial content). So, in order to not screw over those customers, and to make a bit of money, I decided to build a comparable service and migrate over all of the users. We just started migrating users on last monday and things seem to be going well. We have about 150 users as of today.<p>So, if any of you need cheap commercial video hosting, you know where to go!
This is great. I have a contract next month with a local company looking to build a video site in their niche (elementary education tools). I'll be using this for sure :)<p>Do you guys have an API?
You need to put an example embedded video prominently on your page. Does your player rule? Great!<p>Does it suck? I don't know. What I <i>DO</i> know is I wouldn't become a paying member just to find out.
