			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, my excuse for not posting these sooner is lame, but true &#8212; I&#8217;ve been very busy. That said, I didn&#8217;t want to miss some great things happening in the .tv and online video world of late.</p>
<p><strong>Muzu.tv Signs Lucrative New Deals &#8211;</strong>Thanks to <a href="http://bit.ly/d3dW7d">www.everything.tv</a> for pointing out this announcement on <a href="http://bit.ly/97kwNz">Muzu.tv.</a> They announced a number of deals to distribute their music videos with AOL, Bebo, and the Telegraph Media Group. among others. The Irish based company says it&#8217;s traffic is &#8220;growing at 20-30 per cent month on month&#8221; and &#8220;is serving more than 14 million music related videos in the UK every month.&#8221; Music videos are a hot category and go great with .tv</p>
<p><strong>Justin.tv Makes it Easier To Go Live</strong> &#8212; Last week <a href="http://bit.ly/924oJ4">www.justin.tv</a> rolled out a new version of its broadcasting tools. <a href="http://bit.ly/bUbDs2">Cnet</a> is quoting that <em>&#8221; a simple change has led to a 700 percent increase in the number of people who make it from clicking the &#8220;broadcast&#8221; button on Justin.tv&#8217;s front page to actually beginning a live stream.&#8221; </em>Those are impressive stats.</p>
<p><strong>Ustream.tv Gets Money to Go East</strong> &#8212; They announced $20MM in initial funding with an option for $55MM more. That&#8217;s real money. What do they plan to do with that? <a href="http://tcrn.ch/9bROla">Tech Crunch</a> says &#8220;money will be used to expand on the other side of the world, particularly Japan (obvious, given the SoftBank involvement), China, Korea, and India. Mobile video is particularly hot in some of the Asian countries&#8221;. At the $75MM mark, the smart money is saying <a href="http://bit.ly/9G22pY">Ustream.tv</a> is worth $230MM.</p>
<p><strong>Vator.tv Splash</strong> &#8212; This past Thursday <a href="http://bit.ly/cDTnE0">Vator.tv</a> launched their event for early stage start ups to pitch their companies to over 300 investors, founders and members of the press. The 10 finalist are listed <a href="http://bit.ly/cDTnE0">here</a>. It&#8217;s an interesting group with a number of the companies involved in online video. Congratulations to Vator.tv</p>
<p><strong>Online Video to Become Mainstream in 2010</strong> &#8212; Speaking of VCs, our friends at <a href="http://bit.ly/9zj9FM">Beet.tv</a> interviewed Ross Levinsohn, former digital chief at News Corp and now a venture capitalist at Fuse Capital. Seems his company gets a pretty wide view of whats coming next, looking at over 500 companies a year. When asked what trends he saw, he was bullish on online video &#8212; saying it will become mainstream in 2010 &#8212; even admitting some already say it is that.</p>
