Plizy is a new cloud-based discovery and recommendation platform for Internet video.
The company currently offers an iPad app and will soon roll out to other devices.
The app makes recommendations from 300 Web “channels” based on an individual’s video habits, interests and social graph.
It downloads content for later viewing where they have agreements with owners.
The company is signing deals with content owners for quality content.
“You can enjoy TED, YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter, Facebook at the same place. And we are adding something new in the coming days, which is the ability to download some content, so you will be able to download TED videos [for example] and watch them on the plane or the bus or in a train. So we’re trying to push the experience, the discovery, and the access to the best content,” explains Jonathan Benassaya, founder and CEO of Plizy.
