Techcrunch is reporting that the exciting online tv guide Meevee has been acquired by LiveUniverse. No amount has been provided by editor Michael Arrington but his guess is "less than $25 million." My guess is that an online video TV guide was a bit ahead of its time when they began operations in 2000. Today with almost every video clip offering an embeddable option, a tv guide might have more of a chance to make it big.

LiveUniverse has been on an acquisition spree as of late acquiring start page provider PageFlakes last month and video hosting service Revver a month earlier.

Tilzy is a NY-based online video guide that provides video show reviews along with a what to watch guide. They list hundreds of shows in their database. Check out our interview with the Tilzy founders.

NY-based videoblog Rocketboom is said to be expanding it’s videoblog portfolio says Tilzy.tv. Back in November, Robert Scoble took Rocketboom founder Andrew Baron hostage in his car for an interview and Andrew noted that a "live" Rocketboom was in the works (currently the produce the shows ahead of time).

Today Tilzy sat down with Rocketboom producer Elspeth "Ellie" Rountree for an interview (I’ve embedded it below) and Ellie noted that she is also working on a new show which will be produced by Rocketboom and will feature "interesting content". Unfortunately someone offstage cut her mic so we don’t yet know what that interesting content will be. Both the live Rocketboom and Ellie’s show are "coming soon."

Last week I sat down with Joshua Cohen and Jamison Tilsner, founders of Tilzy.TV. Tilzy is a tv guide for the Web meaning that it wants to provide you with shows to watch based on your likes and dislikes. They also provide commentary on the online video scene and new video shows. I first met Joshua and Jamison back in April where they presented Tilzy to the NY Video Meetup. I was very impressed during our discussion how open they are to feedback and suggestions, it's actually quite refreshing. Here are my notes from our conversation:

  • The name comes from Jamison's last name
  • They list over 400 video shows with more added each week
  • Relaunched the site last month based on user feedback
  • Goal is to be the online tv guide just as the tv guide is to tv
  • They are focused on the content, not the technology - this is their differentiation point
  • Focus is on semi-pro and professional videos, not the typical YouTube video
  • The team is Joshua and Jamison, occasionally they bring in freelance journalists
  • They are working on a daily video show - similar to Diggnation but much shorter in length
  • They generate revenue from Google AdSense and affiliate referrals
  • They are working hard on pr/marketing now to grow traffic
  • Their goal is to send traffic back to the video content creators web site as the video is just one element. They are seeing that more and more professional video content is about the experience in addition to the video

Thanks to Joshua and Jamison for taking time out of their busy day to meet with me!
