Videohybrid

Videohybrid is a video site with social features such as video requests, streaming, voting and commenting.

Videohybrid is a video site with social features like video requests, voting and commenting. The site also has a ranking system for 'hunters' who go and find video requests. Videohybrid hosts a lot of illegal content including full-length movies and TV shows, so it will be interesting to see how they handle the inevitable legal issues. Users can find a large array of video content including full-length movies, like The Bourne Ultimatum, because Videohybrid pulls videos from other video sites and allows users to upload illegal video content. Two high school students from San Jose, CA, started the site. Videohybrid is currently in beta. Hari Rajagopalan (CEO & Founder) and James Xu (Director of Marketing) sold the technology to a group from LA before heading off to college.
