We are very pleased to report that Brightcove has been named to this year's EContent 100 list by EContent Magazine. Michelle Manafy, EContent's editor-in-chief, notes that this year's honorees "demonstrate continued leadership in the content industry, as well as those whose innovation foreshadows all that digital content has to offer."
With the release of native live streaming support in Brightcove 4 the question is not if you should take up live streaming but when.
Live streaming offers a video initiative bags of possibilities but true Live Streaming can be costly. We do work with many partners that can complete this value chain very seamlessly, or for simple projects there's the very easy to use and free Adobe Live Media Encoder that can connect any camera to the servers via a PC.
A recent article in the University of Michigan newspaper, The Record, profiles the new online video library that the university's Ford School of Public Policy has recently rolled out. The video site, which is built on the Brightcove platform, has only been available for a little more than a month, but already contains 87 videos which date back to 2003. Video content ranges from lectures by world-renowned economists and politicians to interviews with former presidents.
We are very pleased to report that Brightcove was chosen as the best premium online video platform by the readers of Streaming Media magazine as part of the 2009 Streaming Media Readers' Choice Awards. The third annual Readers' Choice Awards were presented last night at Streaming Media West.
