What does Qlipso do?
Qlipso enables users to extend and enhance their real-life social lives online through its unique multi-user content-sharing platform.
By providing users the ability to share various forms of media (whether videos, music, games or photos) with each other, live or asynchronously, Qlipso is heralding an innovative solution to the current limitations of today’s social Web, which is based more on updating a profile page than on meaningful socializing.
Qlipso’s pioneering technology creates a more intimate and rich interactive experience, producing a meaningful connection between friends and true socializing around digital content.
Qlipso now owns the assets of www.veoh.com and will be bringing its unique Multiuser Content-Sharing Platform to the 10th-largest video portal in the world with millions of users in the US, Japan and Europe.
How are they different?
Social networks talk about connecting. Here at Qlipso, we’re about connection. Our multiuser content-sharing platform lets users extend and enhance their real-life social lives online, providing our users the ability to share various forms of media (whether videos, music, games or photos) with each other, live or asynchronously. We’re all about meaningful socializing around and within digital content.
How do we do that? We combine the best elements of virtual worlds with the social experience of real-life interactions, while maintaining the familiar forms of time-shifted consumption users expect from on-demand content sites.
Why could Qlipso be BIG?
While the rise and adoption of social media continues, there is currently a void in connecting people’s real-life social interactions with their online media consumption experiences. Qlipso fills that void by offering users the ability to share and enjoy synchronous Flash-based media (videos, photos, games, etc.) in a secure online multi-user content-sharing platform that enables people to socialize with friends around media.
How they plan to make money:
Following its acquisition of significantly all of the assets of online video portal Veoh.com, Qlipso can now tap into a user base of more than 10 million active monthly users of Veoh.com, giving its advertisers varied demographics to target. Additionally, Qlipso’s social-viewing platform enables richer forms of online video ads by allowing advertisers to reach multiple viewers with the same ad, while not disrupting their social viewing experience.
