Startups: Want A New York Times Profile?

Peter Kafka | August 9, 2007 6:18 PM

Pontinq_2 Then perhaps you should get friendly with Jason Pontin, or one of his Facebook buddies. Pontin, former editor of the Red Herring (the real one, that is -- not today's zombie publication) and current editor of M.I.T.'s Technology Review, also pens a technology column for the Sunday NYT. And he's asking his 33 Facebook friends (we became Internet pals today, though perhaps that will be a short-term relationship) for advice about the next startup he should write about. Past worthies include Pownce and Twitter, so Jason's presumably looking for buzzworthy stuff, not the umpteenth social network. Still, no harm in trying. Get pitching!

What is about Tagmore?
They are introducing the "visual tags" technology to Europe from Japan for marketing, games or buying stuff in the real world.
They were also Seedcampers from last week!

Hi!
I have a great startup for Jason to profile!

DoubleOne Media is a Web 2.0 company on the verge of launching a new "super-simple" way for consumers to search and download videos.
Our product, www.beYOU.tv, is a Video-on-Demand and download service for instructional, educational and inspirational videos. Our videos for beta launch are primarily in the fitness, health and wellness area. The current $230 billion (and under-served online) LOHAS* market means there is an immediate market for our product. After the founders spent years at consulting firms and investment banks, they felt it was time to marry their personal passions and business knowledge.

Videos can be viewed for free (with some ads at small screen), streamed at full screen (for a membership fee) or downloaded to own - DRM free. This puts control into the customers' hands, allowing them to use the video on any device they choose, PC, Mac, Linux, iPod, Zune, Apple TV, Wii, ect...

Our technology platform supports deep linking, enabling customers to search, share and bookmark specific chapters of any video, even if the chapter is in the middle of a video.

Because our content focuses on the instructional, educational and inspirational categories, we are well positioned to easily expand into other categories, such as cooking, hobby or sports.

We would love the opportunity to share the feedback we have received from our test users and content partners!

Thanks,

Gregory Schnese
