Disney si-a cumparat o televiziune online cu $950 milioane
marți, martie 25th, 2014Azi noapte Disney a anuntat achizitia Maker Studios, o firma care:
– detine 55,000 de canale
– are 380 milioane abonati la aceste canale
– care genereaza 5.5 miliarde vizualizari pe luna
Totul se intampla pe YouTube. Impresionant.
Interesant, Voyo a ajuns la 120,000 abonati
marți, martie 18th, 2014despre planurile privind Voyo: VOYO este o parte importanta a portofoliului nostru de produse cu aproape 120 000 de abonati si multe planuri de dezvoltare. VOYO are o dinamica aparte datorita publicului sau tanar care consuma televiziune adaptat stilului sau de viata, dar si datorita structurii sale flexibile care permite imbogatirea permanenta a ofertei video atat locala, de fiction si entertainment romanesc, cat si internationala, cu titluri recente, revolutionare. Dezvoltarea VOYO este unul din obiectivele noastre de business.
120,000 x 3 euro x 12 = 4,320,000 milioane euro venituri/an.
And the Oscar for retweets goes to …

Bravo!
vineri, februarie 28th, 2014Sa mai si laudam, cand merita:
One of the most frustrating experiences for any publisher is discovering that someone not only has copied your content but outranks you on Google for searches related to that content. Now, Google seems to have heard the complaints and has launched a tool to help.
Called the Google Scraper Report, it was announced by the head of Google’s web spam team Matt Cutts on Twitter:
The Google Scraper Report form doesn’t promise any immediate fix — or any fix at all. Rather, it simply asks people to share their original content URL, the URL of the content taken from them and the search results that triggered the outranking.
De aici
Later update: :)

Both Facebook and Google are desperate to move away from dependence on advertising. Evidence is in recent acquisitions.

Let's be honest. What do all VCs do the moment a $19b acquisition is announced? Check our email to see if we ever said no to those founders.

Opt despre achizitia WhatsApp de catre Facebook
joi, februarie 20th, 20141. La 19 miliarde USD (16 + 3) este cea mai mare tranzactie ce implica playeri de internet de la deal-ul AOL – Time Warner. Care s-a intamplat in 2000, adica acum 14 ani.
2. Este o tranzactie defensiva pentru Facebook, la fel ca si Instagramul. Explicabila cand aproape 50% din business e generat de mobile, explicabila tinand cont ca Facebook vrea sa domine aplicatiile mobile si tot ce inseamna „messaging”.
3.

4. Facebook a platit aproape 10% din valoarea sa pe WhatsApp. E mult? Posibil dar daca ne uitam la punctul 3, Facebook a platit 10% din valoare pe aplicatia mobila cu cea mai mare crestere si pe un business (pentru ca are un model de revenue) care are sanse mari sa atinga 1 miliard de useri mai repede decat a facut-o Facebook. E mult? Posibil daca ne uitam la venituri, s-a platit un multiplu de x950 din venituri. Putin daca ne uitam ca cei de la WhatsApp au avut o strategie de crestere si nu s-au concentrat pe monetizare. E mult? Posibil daca ne uitam ca s-au platit +40 de dolari pentru fiecare user de la WhatsApp. Putin, daca ne uitam ca fiecare user de pe Facebook este „evaluat” la +140 dolari.
5. Sunt +450 milioane de useri pe WhatsApp, aproape jumatate din cati are Facebook, iar +300 milioane dintre ei sunt activi zilnic.
6. Facebook a cumparat si o echipa de ingineri/programatori remarcabila, 32, adica ~ 14 milioane useri/programator.
7. Exista un downside in toata aceasta tranzactie, WhatsApp a aparut si a crescut rezolvand o problema majora, costul mare al sms-ului/datelor (mai ales in roaming sau intre persoane aflate in tari diferite), cost care in timp nu a scazut (la sms) desi cantitatea de mesaje „schimbata” zilnic a crescut mult in ultimii ani. Estimarile vorbesc de 27 miliarde mesaje transmise zilnic pe WhatsApp, cam cat se trimit in toate retelele de telefonie la un loc. E posibil ca aceasta „gaura” lasata de playerii din telecom sa fie „astupata” in perioada urmatoare prin generalizarea pachetelor gen „all you can sms” ceea ce ar duce la renuntarea folosirii WhatsApp.
8. WhatsApp la 19 miliarde USD inseamna sau ar trebui sa insemne o valoarea mai mare pentru BlackBerry (care are vreo 80 milioane useri de BBM si are o capitalizare de +4 miliarde USD) sau Apple (care are cateva miliarde de iMessage-uri pe zi).
It’s analytics, stupid!
marți, februarie 18th, 2014„I think right now Netflix does have a competitive advantage over HBO because of the analytics,” Adgate said.
Networks like HBO still rely, on large part, on Nielsen data. But the information Netflix gets is much more textured, granular… and valuable.
„And I think that’s where television and streaming video is headed – but I think right now streaming video is in the lead,” Adgate said. That said, he added, it’s just a matter of time before HBO and other premium channels catch up.
