Create videos online with Toufee
Toufee, the new online video editing site is hitting the buzz-o-meter today. A new online video editing and mash-up service--I love the idea, but I think it still has some work to do to really snag the public interest. I don't like the fact that I can't upload bigger than 10MB. I have no 10MB video. I know the limit exists because as a fledgling service they can't take on the world's video en masse yet, but increasing the file size would also increase the service's usability. I suppose you could compare this service to an online version of Windows Movie Maker in that it has a simplistic approach and helps the user create easy-bake video without any know how. And it doesn't crash like WMM, so that's a plus. Toufee sports transitions, video, images, sounds, and multiple frames. The controls seem very easy, and are built in Flash, so most people should have no problem running it. Also, it loads very fast for such a useful flash application. Multiple projects can be saved and worked on in the future as well. I'd say that a couple code jams to develop the app and its platform a bit more and Toufee is a worthy candidate for a bunch of funding.

Online video mashing is starting to gain prominence. More activity - now that Eyespot raised $3.7M in Silcon Valley. More variants of such mashing will come up, each addressing niche user needs, and all offering alternative business models to monetize traffic.
Eyespot has been actively engaged in busdev and that will be starting point for gaining momentum, while insulating model from the regulatoty Digital Copyright and Fair Use attacks.
