I found this article on [itvt], which featured an interview with Jumpcut’s Founder, Mike Folgner

Mike actually worked at OpenTV, which I have never heard of until reading the article.
Interesting fact:
“In 2004, only a small percentage–around 15%–of the regular digital cameras shipped had video-capture capability. In 2005, that rose to something like 50%. And now it’s somewhere over 80%. ”
In the article, he discusses why he thinks Jumpcut will thrive. He also shares his ideas of how video sharing + editing will work in the near future. Pretty good read, though it is a bit much of a plug for jumpcut. Can you really blame him, though? He’s the CEO.
On a total side note, MTV is doing a User-Generated Content (UGC) contest. I saw this on the yahoo site, but here’s the post on [itvt]:
