Brightcove is beefing up
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 
This news might be a little stale (about two months of french bread stale), but I just discovered it myself. I like to keep tabs on these guys, as they are a really big-time, enterprise-level purveyor of tasty Flash video. They suck up a ton of talent in the Greater Boston area.
David Mendels, who was SVP at Adobe and Macromedia has joined Brightcove's Board of Directors. That's a powerful move for Brightcove, and a really cool one for David. David is mad smart and a very cool guy, best of luck to both company and contributor in that move.
Brightcove has gone away from free on-demand services (myself included there). But I mean, bandwidth and service isn't free. In this economy, it makes sense. Maybe they will offer a smaller service sometime in the future. It's all going premium/paid accounts for now, and they hired Mike Quinn, Mark Harpur, and Robert Fisher to get sales rolling.

If you're looking for some more info Brightcove (and don't mind some blatant self-promotion), I wrote a post on some of the developer services recently: http://www.deitte.com/archives/2008/12/tools_for_brigh.htm”
