Three DEMO Companies To Keep An Eye On

This week we’re going to see dozens of companies launch new products. Here are a few of the companies presenting this week at DEMO that are showing some strong potential:

ffwd:

In most cases, choice is a good thing. But when it comes to online video, the abundance of content available on the web can be overwhelming. ffwd (pronounced fast-foward) deals with this by picking your videos for you. The site uses video meta data as well as user behaviors to create virtual “channels” of video, which are essentially dynamically updated playlists.

Whenever the site presents a video you aren’t interested in, you simply hit the “ffwd” button to play a new selection. The system learns from your choices to help provide more relevant channels, and if you don’t want to spend time “training” it you can simply follow a like-minded friend.

is launching to the public with content from Hulu, Comedy Central, YouTube and a large number of other sources.
