Berlin, April 3rd, 2009 – Red Herring today
announced that Qoof Ltd. was named a
WINNER of the Red Herring 100 Europe, an award given to the top 100 private
technology companies based in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region each year.
“During
a difficult year, Red Herring still received an impressive list of submissions
from companies across the EMEA region, clearly demonstrating Europe’s role as a
major center of innovation in the global technology sector,” said Red Herring Managing
Director, Farley Duvall. “The exceptional accomplishments of European technology
startups and entrepreneurs are a testament to the rapid advancements being made
in building the European innovation ecosystem.”
Red
Herring’s lists of top private companies are an important part of the publication’s
tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and
entrepreneurs. Companies like Google, eBay, and Skype were spotted in their
early days by Red Herring editors, and touted as leaders that would change the
way we live and work.
Red
Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated several hundred private
companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria,
including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to
research and development.

About Qoof
Qoof provides a video commerce
solution that allows companies to monetize their video assets across multiple
distribution channels. Retailers can transform their videos from pure branding
segments into a full e-commerce experience that drives sales. You can learn more about Qoof on the
internet at www.qoof.com or follow them on Twitter at www.twitter.com/qoof.
A few weeks ago, during a webinar on video commerce, Kevin Ertell exposed some interesting ideas on the future of online retail, pointing out to the emergence of distributed shopping. Kevin told the story of how Tower Records was making significant money selling CDs and music products at local concerts - from a simple table stand with just a couple of employees. He then drew a parallel with the online world, outlining his vision for decentralized shopping experiences where users can browse and buy products from their community site via widgets.
In the context of video, Qoof is certainly an interesting implementation of a shopping widget. Both a video production and technology company based in Los Angeles (CA) Qoof actually goes as far as defining its widget as “a video commerce platform”, since video is at the core of the solution. Arguably, the Qoof widget features some unique communication tools (Instant messaging and Skype) which enable real-time communications with an actual sales person. You can see the widget in action on the Paragon Sports homepage:

Jonathan Stefansky, EVP Sales & Marketing for Qoof, spent a couple of days at Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas. On the second day of the show he joined with Michael Jenkins, CEO/Founder of MarketLevarage, Melissa Salas, Director of Marketing for Buy.com, on a panel discussion called Affiliate Videos: Where Do They Work Best? The panel moderator was Marty Fahncke, President of FawnKey & Associates. Rumour has it that Qoof was talked about a lot during the panel, but we will need to wait to see the video for a complete review. In the meantime you can read this review of the session posted by FrenzyMoney.com.
The next day Jon ran an "Ask The Expert" roundtable discussion on "Creating Video Content for Affiliates". This has been a busy couple of weeks for our EVP of Sales and he is surely missed back home! Stay warm Jon!
