LAS VEGAS, Feb. 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There are few who can predict the future with any accuracy. Fewer still profit from their hunches. But there are obvious trends that defy pessimism, that prove a path has been carved through an uncertain market and that the future is now for these new ideas. Given recent data, it's hard to argue that the future isn't at hand for online video.
This isn't a bold declaration. It's simply obvious amid the evidence. Look around. YouTube's a fixture on most American desktops and the breakout hit so far on American Idol wasn't realized on the show itself. Instead it was in the viral explosion of the "Pants on the Ground" video on YouTube.
Moreover, recent data from Comscore shows enormous viewership for online videos at Hulu.com and NetFlix which appears to be moving its business model to an online format instead of the old 'disk-in-the-mail' method.
For investors, this trend presents opportunity. Many foresaw the widespread adoption of MP3 music when Napster hit critical mass with college kids … and then their parents. So, when Apple rolled out the iPod, they knew it was a game-changer, that the time had come for the presently ubiquitous super-device.
In online video, the aforementioned are certainly stocks to follow as the market grows beneath their corporate feet. But there are also niche companies to follow such as Gen2Media Corporation (OTCBB:GTWO) which has become a celebrity and top company choice to help them create the very videos eventually seen online. Gen2Media Corporation is a video technology company that provides the best-in-breed Online Video Platform, video production, and advertising on its Online Video Network that reaches over 10 million visitors monthly.
It's not Hulu's one billion videos a month but it's a big, big number for Gen2 which is effectively creating real credibility on both sides of the computer monitor.
