In 2003, my income exploded by over 700% and I entered a whole new level of business success. I believe audio is the primary reason why things improved so dramatically in only 7-8 months. By the end of 2003, we began experimenting with video in addition to audio. Our focus turned almost entirely in the direction of video in early 2004 and we built a system called Pixona that allowed people to upload and encode videos to stream on their web sites. Unfortunately, we were too early to market with this product, our bandwidth costs were too high and I spent our money on the wrong technology. Despite being a very cool prototype Pixona was never a reliable encoding service and was a commercial failure... 2006 & beyond... Now with Google's purchase of YouTube, we are moving into the next era for online video. Many people have learned to create their own videos but have not learned yet how to make money with them. It reminds me of where ecommerce was in 1998.
