Web Video FIVE Years After YouTube…Meh!

Courtesy of Howard Lindzon 

The hottest thing in web video in the 5 years since Youtube was launched is a site I am too scared to log into…

I am not sure if that is good or bad.

It seems longer, but YouTube is now 5 years old .

The Russian YOOT who started today’s hottest site – ChatRoulette – is only 17 years of age. Fred has some more stats and links about the kid and his site .

You may have your opinions about web video, but two numbers matter to me…5 (age of YouTube) and 17 (age of chatroulette founder). If you think we are anywhere but inning two, you just can’t handle the truth.

This industry is so young and moving so fast that my own Wallstrip seems like 50 years ago. In fact, our very first show was only 3.5 years ago (makes sense that $AAPL was our first show in a show about stocks and trends):

 

With an industry this hot and this early, it seems surprising that there have been so few hits and so little on innovation (pre-rolls for christ sakes still).

Ashkan has a great series of posts on who, what, when, where, who and finally why so few are making money in the web video space .

I believe a lot of what Ashkan says is true and I also believe that Google’s $GOOG massive pay up for YouTube just threw off the whole industry.

I also believe enough time has passed that the next stage in web video is upon us. There will be more winners. The iPad won’t hurt things either.
