And what better way to announce the cool stuff we’ve been working on than live on stage at The Next Web 2010, right?

Happy Videotising, as Hermione would say.

To sum up, I completely loved NY and I want to live there at one point, and I believe that the “Silicon” in Silicon Valley stands for Super Inteligent Lads Innovating, Creating and Originating Novelty.

I’ve also had the pleasure to meet the founder of Getty Images, Jonathan Klein, in a two hour meeting which was purely breathtaking. Enjoy.

And while I’ve been having all this fun, my wonderful team prepared some really cool stuff for you, which we’ll announce pretty soon. Stay tuned!

Emi Gal, Brainient’s CEO was interviewed by Reuter’s Kate Kelland and asked to talk about what determined him to move the company’s headquarters to the UK.

“London is pretty much the center of the world if you want to work in media and advertising”, he told them, and we believe that’s indeed, very, very true.

And stay tuned, we have tons of news in the following weeks. While some of you have been sipping Pina Colada’s in Bora-Bora and others have been skiing St. Moritz, we’ve been working like crazy. And [...]]]> The wonderful people at Reuters wrote a very interesting article about young and ambitious companies moving their headquarters to London.

What I am going to talk about is Realitatea.NET, the number one news TV channel (and the number one news website, as a matter of fact) in Romania.

It’s that ‘let’s-now-choose-a-president-that-will-be-no-good’ thing that happens once in 5 years, but this time the main problem is we really don’t have whom to choose. I won’t go into a rigmarole on the subject though, ’cause I’m not really that much into politics.

What I am going to talk about is Realitatea.NET, the number one news TV channel (and the number one news website, as a matter of fact) in Romania. They’re using our Veevid platform to manage and distribute their video content over the internet. And yesterday, we had the supreme test. Most Romanians went to Realitatea.NET to view the exit-polls, which generated more than 3 million views in 12 hours or so.

Veevid had 100% up time, fast loading times and used very, very little resources. It seems we could of easily support three times more traffic on the current server infrastructure (6 servers).

Congrats to the Brainient and Realitatea.NET teams for putting together such an amazing product & infrastructure. We braved the day.

The audience found the presentation highly interesting and entertaining, and they all agreed that TV Advertising as we know it is probably going to fade away, so I thought it’d be a good idea to share the presentation with you.

Without further ado ladies & gents, I believe there will be blood. Some slides might not make sense because I just used them to emphasis my speech, but the essential is there:
