Summary
Traditional TV is a shrinking business. The goal of the internet is create entertainment experience that adapts to changing lifestyles. I don't see the Veoh business model supporting that. It seems like a quick fix to a trend that is growing on the web. There is a lack of creative and developmental talent providing experiences on the web. This is a product that harbors all of the stale experiences in one place. I don't see how this is viable in the long term.
Analysis
Veoh is one of a number of companies looking to be part of the second dot-boom. They are small or similar technologies looking to harbor substandard entertainment experiences on a ad model revenue stream.
With CPMs the way they are on the web, inventories, and the like, the void is not with technology or companies to house content, it a lack of real deep ad dollars to fund original content.
If Veoh hopes to become desktop application, or permeate video cosumption lifestyle the better hope they own the best content. Apple crushed competitiors with the Ipod because the became the kings of content. Content will control consumers. This tech, this company, has little leverage to draw them in.
