DivX Kills Stage6

]]> See, this is why small agile players thrive inside online video. Unless they happen to be the clueful likes of Google or CBS, big corporations tend to trip over themselves in this space. Michael Arrington recounts the long, sad, dramatic tale behind the imminent shutdown of high-quality video site Stage6.

Long story short: big egos at parent company DivX alienate smart team at promising startup Stage6. All this happens just as Stage6 was about to get $27 million in investment and $10 million in revenue.

DivX just threw away a fortune over an executive ego battle. How fitting that the CEO of DivX is named Kevin Hell.
