Web Video coming to your Mobile

 

 

Ever since Youtube^TM has changed the landscape of Internet video, video sharing and User-Generated-Content (UGC) sites have been popping up everywhere. One such site in Israel is Vidi (www.vidi.co.il), which quietly and without backing from local Medial companies managed to grab traffic volumes of millions of users per month. Part of the NFO network of sites, including www.nfo.co.il (DVD reviews), www.warezfaw.com (Downloads) and several others, Vidi is now an established portal for many Israeli surfers.

 

Aiming at the growing market for mobile video consumption, the NFO network and DSPV have partnered to pool their resources and offer a first of its' kind mobile video service for users, enabling them to watch the top rated clips from their favorite site while on the move. Soon, the service will feature a built in video recommendation engine which will pre-select for repeat users new clips based on their past viewing habits.

 

Priced identically to a local voice call, the new service offers anyone with a 3G mobile phone a simple and cost effective way to enjoy video from the ever evolving, infinite pool of web video.
