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.

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