"We are very excited to launch Vuclip," said Patricia Mulles, ThumbMOB Founder and CEO.
She adds, "The Philippines has always led in global surveys of top online video viewers. With Vuclip, we are confident that Filipinos will be able to satisfy their huge appetite for videos instantaneously, wherever they are, and participate in the growing global phenomenon of mobile video viewing. All they need is a Vuclip data plan and an internet capable phone."
A study by Synovate in August 2010 reported that more than half (53%) of Filipinos surveyed said they watched videos online, while one in three had uploaded photos or videos - the highest percentages in Asia.
"The Philippines is another excellent market for Vuclip. Already, without any promotion, there are over 350,000 Filipinos using Vuclip to watch videos on their mobile phones," said Nickhil Jakatdar Co-Founder and CEO of Vuclip, adding "Vuclip is a catalyst for a new mobile video ecosystem that brings together carriers, content providers, advertisers and consumers, in fact anyone who wants to be a part of the burgeoning mobile video experience."
Every day Vuclip delivers more than 12 million videos to viewers in over 200 countries - with over 360 million videos viewed globally every month.
"Vuclip's service does particularly well in places where the mobile screen is often the only way to access the Internet. We are already the number one mobile video service in places like India, Indonesia and Malaysia," Jakatdar added.
"Videos go viral on Vuclip," Mulles noted. "You can easily forward video clips to friends via Facebook, Twitter or SMS directly from Vuclip's page. In fact, more than half of Vuclip's global video views are from people sharing with each other. It's the network effect at play."
