Congratulations!

We’d like to send our warmest congratulations to the winners of the 2009 Streaming Video Reader’s Choice Awards. EffinFunny took home the coveted award for ‘Best Online Video Startup Company – Content.’ ‘Legend of Neil‘ is outrageously funny and well executed, so kudos to EffinFunny!

In this awards ceremony well-known leaders (maybe you’ve heard of Microsoft and Adobe) competed with up-and-comers. That highlights that online video is a very young industry with a bright future and many surprises ahead. That environment draws adventurous companies like Invodo and so many others.  Not knowing what will happen next is a big part of both the excitement and the opportunity.

We take our turn on the red carpet as a finalist as validation that we’re onto something. Bright companies and fantastic work were everywhere, but our eCommerce-focused library of  product videos remains as unique as our ability to solve online retailers’ problems with the complete package of content, platform and syndication network. Thanks to the Invodo team for bringing us to this milestone, and to Streaming Media readers for supporting us.
