My Profile in the Wall Street Journal: A Year Later
A year ago, on June 13, 2006, I was profiled in the Wall Street Journal Article: "Mr. Pulver Has Just Two Words For You: Internet Video."
Being profiled in the WSJ was an amazing and almost surrealistic experience. I had no idea how many of the people I knew would pick up the WSJ on any given Tuesday and stumble upon the story. And It was because of the story that I met a number of amazing people doing pioneering work in the field of Internet TV who just took it upon themselves to reach out and introduce themselves. I also ran into friends from High School as well as family friends I had growing up.
The past twelve months have been one of the fastest years I can remember…
And a year later I stand by the headline of the story, as during the past twelve months, the advent of Internet TV continues to shape the consumer internet experience while at the same time is helping to transform the way media companies around the world look at leveraging the internet.
While being interviewed for the story, I said that I was looking for "the Vonage of Internet Video" and a few months after the story was published, I believe I found it when I focused my energy in the development and launch of my new Internet TV startup, Network2. At the moment we are working on the Series A funding of the company.
As I re-read the story, I was reminded that the writer of the story, Amol Sharma, was present during a planning meeting for what became our Video on the Net Conference. Amol heard me say to a friend “Do you know any media moguls?” during the planning of an event which was first held in September in Boston and has since been held a second time in San Jose back this past March and will be held again in October 2007 in Boston. Video on the Net is the place where we explore the effects of the broadband internet on the future of TV, Film and Broadcasting. And if you happen to know any media moguls, please feel free to drop me a line as we are always looking to expand our roster of speakers.
It was because of the story being published that I spent last summer working on the completion of the pulver.tv studio. And while I have no plans to produce my own reality TV series at the moment, there are a number of Internet TV shows ideas brewing in my mind. For now, I’m happy just to have the opportunity to leverage the growing number of personal broadband broadcasting platforms that have emerged in 2007.
I can only imagine what the world of Internet TV will look like twelve months from now.

If this last year is any indication of what is to come the next one should be absolutely chaotic (in a good way mind you). The upcoming twelves months should see the industry get some legs and credibility beyond the amazing start we have had already.
Should be a fun ride!
