Will?



Millions of users already have used Verb

40,000 users of Wirewax according to their website

You probably remember me posting about Wirewax a number of time

It ain't cheap. Starts at a $1000/mo and goes way up after that. I think they were the company that charged up to $500K for one video?

Remember last month I posted...

Brightcove acquires HapYak's technology to advance video interactivity

https://seekingalpha.com/news/3752842-brightc...eractivity

Was a little confusing as the same day Newsela said they acquired HapYak

You go to their website and it turns out to be true. They bought bought HapYak

Not enough interactive video companies to meet the acquisition demand it seems

This is what you'd expect to see on a sizzling hot area like interactive video and live ecommerce streaming.

But there is a catch. I don't think either of those companies have Live eCommerce Streaming, let alone like Verb.

So what does this show?

Big companies are chomping at the bit to get into interactive videos

So now you can see why Blackrock bought 7 times more Verb. For those that don't know, BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager, with US $9.46 trillion in assets they manage.

They could buy any stock and chose to get in on interactive video and live streaming ecommerce through Verb

Oh, they like BCOV and VMEO too

Yup that 10 Trillion dollar asset manager loves interactive video technology

BTW: No need to run over to iFudge 10 minutes later and repost info posted here. You do nothing except feed the chimps on the short board, unless that is your intent? They don't like ice cream, banana pops, nor dixie cups.
