Internet TV Startup BrightCove raised 16.2 for their Internet TV network last week. It's their second round of funding. Barry Diller is on their Board. They closed a deal with AOL.
Brightcove
The BrightCove blogs said this, 'In practical sense, the agreement with AOL reveals one of the ways we plan to give publishers very powerful means to build their Internet TV businesses by leveraging the distribution that AOL.com can provide to reach consumers and ultimately to make publishers money. We very much believe that Internet syndication, whether it's to a major web destination like AOL.com or a network of smaller affiliates is going to be one of the defining characteristics of Internet TV. "
Syndication as defined in the RSS world is still my bet as the early syndication leader. The challenge I see now for Video RSS is that the current state of podcasting and videoblogging client software (reader or viewer) still leaves a little to be desired. I suspect that will be solved soon by Yahoo.com or one of the many podcast/soon to be video blogging client software programs.
