Why it might be a killer
PLYMedia has already gained significant recognition in being named second place winner in the LeWeb startup competition. They’ve chosen a rich field—video—to work with; publishers and broadcasters will be able to add depth and excitement to their video, thus increasing user stickiness and engagement. Users will find the content more personable and rich and will be more likely to participate and interact.
Some questions
PLYmedia offers a rather simple product that doesn’t seem nearly innovative or novel enough to attract users. Will publishers be willing to add plys to their content, or will they deem them too distracting? Do plys really increase user interaction?
