Every year AlwaysOn, a company that puts on networking and executive events for tech entrepreneurs, puts out its list of the top 250 companies it feels are innovating in any of a number of fields. This year’s list have been published and it’s great to see three .tv sites there: Video advertising management platforms Adap.tv and Freewheel.tv and video discovery site Muzu.tv all got the nod this year.

Three out of 250 might not seem like a lot but the fact that all of these sites are video-based in some way reinforces the feeling we have the .tv is an excellent way to brand a video-centric site. All three of them – and countless others who didn’t make this year’s AlwaysOn list – are doing fantastic things by combining an online video strategy and a domain that immediately says to anyone visiting that this site will have something to do with video.

Kudos to these members of the .tv community for showing how innovative online video and .tv can be.
