Just wondering was Kareem a part of YT when it got acquired or rather does he hold a stake?

Matt Marshall · 3 years ago

He wasn't with YouTube when it was acquied, but he did hold a stake, as the NYT link below makes clear. The exact stake is unknown.

Thanks Matt. That one has some real good information. Jawed sounds very modest and indeed his choices seem unusual as one of his prof said.

Although simple, I don't think Veeker's going to fly for the simple reason that they use MMS. For one thing, MMS is crazy expensive and uploading a bunch of videos from a single hangout with friends would cost a small fortune. There are other setbacks of MMS, but for me, just this one hits the jackpot.

Although Veeker seems like an interesting product, I would have to agree with raven. MMS is very expensive where I live and is not a very efficient way of transferring media over the network. I've been using PixSense for uploading my photos and videos and it fulfills my requirements. It uses GPRS to upload your mobile content to the website. It's a fairly new product and still in its beta phase. But then again, so is Gmail :)

I am writing to enlist your help in spreading the word about Veek the Vote 2006 (www.veekthevote.com), a project that enables people to use the cameras in their mobile phones to express themselves and document Election Day in near real-time.

Veek The Vote represents something wholly new in the history of election coverage. Anyone with a mobile phone equipped with a camera-—there are over 70 million of them in the U.S.--can send a photo or video to vote@veeker.com. No registration is requried. No special software is needed.

Fifteen to sixty seconds after a photo or video is sent, it will appear in a embedded player at veekthevote.com. This player, in turn, can be taken by anyone and embedded anywhere on the web: on blogs, MySpace pages, etc. Veek the Vote generates a completely open mobile video communication network, enabling complete democratization of election coverage. We take in video from anyone, and allow anyone to display it on their website.

We’re very excited about the prospects for Veek the Vote. It empowers Americans to be more than a statistic captured by exit polls on Election Day. Whether they’re taking to the streets in protest, waiting patiently (or impatiently) in line at the polls, or stuck behind a desk, Veek the Vote 2006 lets America show and see Election Day in a way never before possible.

Any help that you all might be able to give in helping us get this story out would be very much appreciated. The more people that know about Veek the Vote, the more powerful it will be.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. I can be reached at: rraderman@veeker-corp.com

Kindest regards,

Rodger Raderman

Raven & Melissa - Are you aware that almost all of the carriers now include MMS in your text messaging package? That means if you already text, you can probably send MMS for free!

One recent and very successful use of Veeker was VeekTheVote 2006 (check out the website at http://www.veekthevote.com ). In the course of just a few days, the blogosphere took up the call to share veeks concerning the election with the rest of the world. 750 veeks from across the country (with just 3 days pre-Election launch) are testament to the accesibility and ease with which Veeker can be used.
