Veoh Sees Usage up 300% on Christmas Day; Catalog Grows to 20,000 Videos
Veoh Networks, Inc. first Internet Television Peercasting Network, today announced it saw usage more than triple on Christmas Day. The company also noted that its free catalog of online videos doubled, to 20,000, since its beta introduction in September.
One of the more popular gifts this past holiday season was Apple's latest iPod, which includes the ability to watch full-color video on the go. Veoh now offers more than 8,000 videos on its network compatible with the video iPod. This is nearly three times the inventory available last month.
"One of the biggest discussions and avenues of innovation at the Consumer Electronics Show last week was the inroads being made to let consumers enjoy media anywhere and anyhow," said Dmitry Shapiro, CEO of Veoh Networks. "Veoh's democratization of video and the introduction of revolutionary devices, like the video iPod, means consumers around the world can realize this concept today."
