When I was in Silicon Valley a few weeks ago one of the responses I had from a VC was, "Video is a hot space. But its been hot for a while now. So we are very selective now. You are never too late for the party, but you will have to have developed the business to a higher standard this year than you would have last year, to get our attention".  Sounds fair enough to me.

But it appears that as the announcements come faster and faster the dynamics of both what is of interest and what the values are are changing rapidly too. Microsoft bought aQuantive (at a big multiple too!). And now rumours that Google is going to buy Feedburner. That in turn seems to be increasing the temperature of the marketplace.... particularly for investments in video related businesses.

This week we should be ready for the Vquence Alpha to be released. Timing, timing, timing....
