New Britney Spears video gives Webcastr.com a good start
Webcastr.com is a new portal of Internet television programming covering the fields of news, sports, music, celebrity, politics and more with over 200 channel providers already on-board.
Contrary to popular video sites like YouTube which thrive in amateurish video clips, this new site believes “people are tired of sorting thru amateur clips just to find what they need.”
That’s why it positioned itself as “an outlet for the explosive new area of Internet TV as well as presenting the best in clip coverage from professional and pro-am sources.” Check out a sample of their video clip below.
Even though it is set to launch next month, Webcastr already encountered unexpected heavy traffic and technical problems when it featured the new Britney Spears video “Gimme More” prior to its official release this week.
“We were totally caught off guard by the global magnitude of the response. We had traffic from 93 countries in a little over six hours and had to immediately get more server capacity weeks before we anticipated needing it,” explains Webcastr founder Tim Devine.
