Kyte: The YouTube for Skype users
-

-
While some companies are promoting the idea of broadcasting television over the Internet, Decentral sticks with the trend: You. Its service called Kyte enables web site owners and bloggers to create their broadcast channel.
Through a widget, content editors can select and schedule what videos they want to show/share. Broadcasting can be made on the Web and on recent cellphones. But the great feature here is the instant messenger function which allows authors to interact with their audience in real-time. For example, imagine a video talk-show with questions of the public.
Decentral’s idea has already interested many hot investors. Draper Fisher Jurveston and Niklas Zennstrom’s venture company have poured some $2.25 million in July 2006.
Us: Kyte has a big potential to go viral. But its main drawback is the content. But be sure that YouTube is already preparing the same kind of broadcast-yourself toolbox, and Skype readying a video Skypecast for its VoIP calling application.
