Mefeedia : 15,000 video websites aggregated and counting

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

We now aggregate over 15,000 “video websites”, making Mefeedia the leading video aggregator.
What does this mean and how does this break down? A “website” is a unique host URL - i.e. everything from YouTube.com and Blip.tv to Galacticast.com to (our 15,000th site aggregated) portablefilmfestival.com!

From the sound of it, the new site sounds like it will compete with the […]
