Open Media fills a big gap in online video distribution for media companies in the UK hence the involvement of established media companies like the BBC, Channel 4 and BSkyB. I predict more high profile content partnership announcements from Bebo in the near future. This is a big deal because Bebo is the UK’s top social networking site, according to comScore:
