Fliqz has new(no) looks; Video-Sharing is out

Fliqz, the video-sharing startup that had raised $2.5 million in Series B in February, has finally done away with video sharing side of things on it’s own site and is up with a new look. Fliqz will now be concentrating only on providing white-labeled full service, a plug-and-play video solution to third party sites. As of the news of it’s last funding, Fliqz was powering videos on over 300 external sites and hundreds of blogs via it’s API and widget solutions to deliver 30 million videos a month.
Fliqz is currently offering 4 versions of its Video Platform with varied amount of customization options. Basic edition is for free, while you need to pay for Silver, Gold, and Platinum, that can enable your site for community uploading, content organization, customized look and feel, advertising and monetization tools, streaming, sharing, linking, and re-posting.
On the whole, a much better change in plans as compared to being yet another video-sharing site where the only way to survive and thrive is by going niche.

Where is the evidence to support any of that? The fact that some bloggers may have “tried” fliqz does not equate to them being “powered” by fliqz.
30 million videos a month is ridculous ; does this count thumbnails noone viewed? If you upload a video using their API you will quickly discover they have only a few tens of thousands of videos, not millions.
The irony of RSS is that any company can grossly overstate the facts and then the blogosphere echos it without fact checking
