Brightcove and that video marketplace - is Venice a worry?

News that Brightcove is launching a video marketplace might be a sign of nerves.
It’s new service also has lots of new (to Brightcove) features.
I mean the point has been made already today that Brtghtcove was not exactly fast out of the traps with its service and investors must be uneasy having seen YouTube go for $1.65 billion while Brightcove went for the upper end of the video market.
Now if I was sitting on a few millions worth of risk in Brightcove and I had a strategy to launch a video market I’d be saying, quick, quick, The Venice Project is coming out of the Ebay stable and they might, they might….
What? What?
Create a video marketplace? What do they know about markets?
Don’t get me wrong as they say in all the best bars, I really like Brightcove, but you can make consistently wrong decisions for all the right reasons and I put BC in there. A great company, great people but maybe foxed by the way things are going.
