Just to be clear - after lauding Om

Just to be clear - after lauding Om 03/28/2005 08:45 AM

While we're on the subject of lauding Om, he seems to be a little confused over my contradictory attitude towards BrightCove.

How can I on one hand "compare them to Atom/Shockwave" and then declare them the winners?

Well remember - it's Accel Partners money - and boy do they have a lot of money to spend - so that's why I referred to a war of "attrition" - cause I just wanna see Jeremy spend Bud Colligan and Joe's Schoendorf's money - like there's no tomorrow.

Clearly Brightcave has a hell of a challenge to pull off what they're trying to do - but someone has got to do it. And Jeremy is actually a really nice guy, so..... good luck to BrightCove!

Could he top that this year? Indeed he could, both in subject matter as well as in doggerel.
