Friday, July 4, 2008: Who is hosting GoFish

GoFish (OTCBB: GOFH) is a free video sharing website, headquartered in San Francisco, California, allowing visitors to watch and upload video clips, similar to websites like YouTube and Google Video. It was started in May 2005. GoFish primarily differentiates itself from such websites by focusing on “directed” content (i.e. telling users what kinds of videos to make instead of just accepting whatever users come up with), and claiming to be the first to take the leap into merging online broadcasting with over the air broadcasting. The current push of GoFish Technologies, Inc., the company behind GoFish, is an online “reality show” that deals with dating and user-selected contestants, with the semifinalists completing the competition on an as yet undisclosed television network. GoFish pioneered this approach with the launch of America’s Dream Date last June — the first reality-themed online show harnessing user-generated video, and sponsored by a national beverage brand, Jetset Energy Drink.
