Jalipo, a YouTube alternative for professional content
In this time of either punking off YouTube, or being its best friend, Jalipo is erring on the side of competition for professionally generated content.

There are also some territory restrictions where certain videos might not be available in certain areas due to local rights restrictions. Jalipo sits at the forefront of the new online video revolution right alongside the likes of Joost.

The CEO is a former president of Sony Europe, and it looks like his connections and drive are pushing Jalipo into slowly becoming a strong player in the online video marketplace.
