The company is called PortalVideo (http://www.portalvideo.com). The description from their site with notes in brackets from me: “Our unique transcript-based editing system [over the internet] dramatically reduces the time and cost of creating a rough-cut. Make a video edit [on any internet-connected computer] by cutting and pasting text from the transcript. Collaborate easily with clients and workgroups anytime, anywhere over the internet.”

Only 1/2 of Americans have high-speed Internet, and he doesn’t think that will change very soon. Most of the rest of what he says is about very practical considerations of consumers who want to watch movies; not directly relevant to what you’re talking about. (But the little film of Pogue is worth watching if only because he’s funny.)

Anyway, thanks very much for the list of companies. It’s great to see so much activity happening right here!

At DigiNovations, we’re working principally on the content side, but we’ve geared our entire business around internet TV channel implementation and web video content production. Our most visible effort was the design and implementation of Mitt TV (http://mittromney.permissiontv.com) for the Romney for President campaign, but we now run many dozens of internet TV channels for companies and organizations all over New England.

I also author a blog called “Web Video Expert”, that focuses on what businesspeople should know about this convergence. It’s at http://www.web-video-expert.com/blog
