Authored by Mark Hefflinger on May 5, 2008 - 7:26am.

Dallas - GodTube, a Christian video-sharing site and online social network, has raised $30 million in new financing from GLG Partners, at a valuation of around $150 million, PaidContent.org reported.

Founded in 2007, Dallas-based GodTube hosts religion-related videos such as live streaming of religious services, in addition to features like a virtual Bible, video chat and a "Prayer Wall."

Chief executive and co-founder Chris Wyatt was previously an executive producer at CBS.

To generate revenue, the site sells both religious and secular ads, offers churches live streaming of services, and will soon launch a white label social network service, PaidContent reports.

video sharing

Hi, There are a lot of video sharing sites around. You sure have heard about YouTube, Revver or Dailymotion, but there are many others competing to be the number one, or targeting a specific audience, whether geographically (China, Japan, Turkey…), by language (German, Arabic, French…) or for the kind of content they enable to publish (cooking, planes, extreme sports…). I have compiled a growing list of more than 500 video sharing sites you can check at http://www.ilikesharingvideos.com/video-sharing-sites/en/ For each of them, you will get useful information such as their history, the country from which most of their visitors come, their niche, their rank, the latest news about them... This site offers some other interesting features, like a list of video search engines, how to make money with your videos, how to create your own YouTube site. So if you are interested in video search engines, publishing your own videos, or even online video marketing, give an eye to this site, it worths it. Cheers
