A few years ago, Brightcove was the major name in video streaming services. Then Google got into the picture, broadband became more ubiquitous and a number of other video streaming sites began to pop up. In order to stay in the business, Brightcove had to make some changes. It dropped its public uploads option and started looking at working with bigger names in the video content industry. That move has gotten a boost recently as the company has signed a deal to provide video content for all of InterActiveCorp’s sites. This means that Brightcove videos will be seen on sites like CitySearch and Ticketmaster. One IAC site that will be slow to adopt the Brightcove videos is CollegeHumor.com, a site which is currently driven primarily by user uploads. For those people who loved Brightcove precisely for the user upload feature, there’s a recent article comparing four of the major video-streaming services (that aren’t YouTube) that you can check out.
