Stealth video sharing firm Veeker purchases developer ThumbJive

The stealth video sharing service Veeker (see left) has purchased the wireless application developer ThumbJive whose projects include the photo sharing site Radar (see below), according to an article by Katie Fehrenbacher in Gigaom.

Gigaom has been following Veeker, though not able to write much about it.  Fehrenbacher says recently she's been seeing more people using video messaging via cellular, although it's still a very small percentage of total subscribers.

"But now that carriers are readily offering multimedia messaging packages, and the latest phones are often embedding video cameras, its easier than ever for startups to start building services over a standardized mobile video sharing platform," she writes.

Standardized development

Fehrenbacher says, "ThumbJive founder and now VP of engineering at Veeker, Daniel Raynaud, said that his company was attractive to Veeker in part because of its technology that helps standardize the development of mobile applications on cell phones, including technology for video-capture and camera-capture applications."

I've been looking for a great site for posting the videos of camera phones I test.  I'm not particularly interested in sharing them with the world, although I don't care if anyone sees them.

I'm looking for a good video storage service where I can easily categorize videos according to the phones I test.
