duplicates & improves relevancy 100,000 reviewers filter out

inappropriate or uninteresting content VideoRank mines collective wisdom of

viewer to determine site placement.

Benefits to Video Creators & Content Owners

Any great short video can skyrocket to the front page based solely on content quality as determined by VideoRank

Content creators don't have to market their own videos or rely on being "noticed" by a content editor

Content partners can quickly discover the gems in their inventory

Online Video Business Model

Video Is An Exploding Market

Short video is joining film, music and TV programming as a key streaming entertainment format. 24% of all Internet users access videos at least once a week, while 46%

watch videos at least once a month (Online Publishers Association)

Approximately 80% of videos consumed online are short form videos, as opposed to full-length programming. (AP-AOL Poll)

Online video is expected to grow faster than any other form of Internet advertising, including search, reaching $1.5 billion by 2009. (eMarketer)

Revenue from mobile video for entertainment purposes could grow to more than $6 billion per year in the US by 2011. (Instat)

The Next Big Entertainment Opportunity

The market is looking for a steady stream of engaging short video clips that are licensed and ready to distribute on multiple platforms

Where will this content stream come from? Traditional media: costly, expertise in long format programming;

copyright concerns UGC: hard to control; no quality standard; copyright concerns but highly

scalable

Only 2 players have the content, traffic & global distribution to deliver “entertainment-grade” UGC video on a regular basis YouTube is focused on studios and major labels Metacafe is focused on best of class UGC

And now Metacafe is introducing a compelling new program to motivate creators to submit great content…
