Stupeflix announced today, at the Business Video Expo, that they are changing the way they connect to developers and allow access to the Stupeflix video creation suite API. Whereas it was somewhat cost prohibitive in the past, they are now lowering the price of both access and video rendering to commoditize video creation. Previously, says Jean-Francois Boudier, Stupeflix co-founder and CTO, access to the API was dependent on requirements definition, commercial proposal, negotiation, contracts, signatures, etc.

Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback took to the Rev3 blog this morning and announced a 359% increase in total views and a 53% increase in revenue for the year of 2011.  Revision3 made smart acquisitions last year, including the extraordinarily successful Epic Meal Time , and by the end of the year, picked up one of YouTube’s all-time hits, The Philip DeFranco Show , which should make 2012 even better.  Rev3 also increased its YouTube subscribers across all shows to 4.5 million.  In addition to the audience and revenue, Rev3 is proud of their technological advancements over the year.

What will be noted about Netflix’ 2011 will be that poorly-handled price increase that sent people into mass hysteria.  What won’t be noted that much, but has way more impact, is that Netflix saw people stream like they’ve never streamed before in 2011 , and in the 4th quarter of last year those streaming hours hit 2 billion.  That’s a lot of movies and TV shows being watched instantly.  That’s money in the bank.  What it shows is that while Netflix and Reed Hastings made a colossal blunder with their price hike, the fact is, you still get a great service on the cheap, and that’s what matters most. Netflix To Have An Interesting 2012 As Well 20 million streaming subscribers in 45 countries watched 2 billion hours of content in Q4 2011 alone, and with increased focus on acquiring content and being available on almost any device, that should balloon in 2012, provided Hastings and co.
