From Dave Winer -- Andrew Baron (Rocketboom fame) and Jeff Pulver have started a new studio group called Abbey Corps. Presumably they will compete with businesses like PodShow, PodTech, etc., but co-opetition (hate the word, love the concept) is also likely. Unclear what Abbey Corps will be doing exactly, but video -- as we've been saying -- is getting bigger and bigger, and even little ole hubbub is entering the biz in 2007.
Not much info available on Abbey Corps yet (they have a three-word Web site). But Baron announced the news on his blog:
One thing that I kind of like about Rocketboom is that I have never done any press releases. I also dont have an email list; Until now, I've always just fielded the incoming. I'm not against that kind of outreach, it's just interesting that there has never been any.
Well all of that is about to change.
I'm going to post some news on my blog! :)
I'll post it in pieces over the next several days. I'm calling it blog post suspense.
And so, since Rocketboom began, the biggest most important step of my independent career has been made.
Clue #1
Jeff Pulver and I have co-founded a new studio network.
And so begins Abbey Corps.
My next clue will reveal which other shows are a part of the studio and then I will go on to explain why I believe it's a much better business than Podshow or Podtech.
Onward and Upward.
