Mefeedia.com - Video Aggregator Proposes 2nd Gen Videos

Mefeedia claims to aggregate videos and weblogs from over 15,000 sites. Their index plays host to over 3 million episodes from around 25,000 video feeds. Other than those large, appealing numbers, Mefeedia also lays claim to better, higher quality videos—a second generation of online video. This new gen, they state, will be characterized by 1) personalization, thus it will be easy to find and organize what you want to watch, while also getting personalized recs; 2) quality viewer experience, whereby videos won't stutter and you needn't wait forever for a video to load; 3) wherever, whenever, which means video should be available offline as well as online (in RSS feeds, in virtual networks, in media players). Mefeedia does a good job of approaching the second gen ideal. They offer a huge variety of video sites to choose from, there are plenty of recommendations, you can personalize your channels and choose from over 200 guides, and you can watch Mefeedia videos via feeds, iTunes, Democracy Player, Second Life, and more. Sign up today to take part of this new video revolution.

"We now aggregate over 15,000 "video websites", making Mefeedia the leading video aggregator.
What does this mean and how does this break down? A "website" is a unique host URL - i.e. everything from YouTube.com and Blip.tv to Galacticast.com to (our 15,000th site aggregated) portablefilmfestival.com!
Why is this significant?
Number of websites and number of feeds are important to online video because of:
1. Quality - the person producing a series of videos for a video feed is serious - he/she has taken the time to create a video "show" with a theme and regular , quality content.
2. Coverage - providing great coverage to as many sources as possible. We cover more video websites than everyone that we know about. Any aggregator can cover the big guys (YouTube, MySpace, Dailymotion to name a few), but covering the thousands of many smaller video sites makes Mefeedia truly unique."

The site has lots of options. If you're into videos, Mefeedia has got a great range of videos pulled from all over the web (international sites, blogs, media networks, news outlets, government departments, etc.) There's also room to interact with tags, commenting and suggestion. Another great feature is its flexibility with viewing options—you can take your videos into Second Life or watch them on the go with your PSP.

Is Mefeedia really revolutionizing online video? What's the business plan? How do they plan on keeping the standards high without charging?
