PlayCafe Funded For Live Online Video Game Shows

Having just posted a round-up of video site fundings, here comes another one. PlayCafe, which was founded by alumni of PayPal and Google, 'has received funding from premier VC and angel investors."

PlayCafe is led by CTO Dev Nag who was Senior Engineer at Google where he helped develop the back-end for financial processing of Google ad revenue and before that did the something similar at Paypal. CEO Mark Goldenstein was also at Paypal. Apparently the both got tired of counting beans.

We like what PlayCafe is up to but so far their videos have been lame and boring. Starlets of other video programming are more eye catching, or maybe they just where better outfits and have more provocative writers - who knows - but PlayCafe is stale. It has the feel of hanging out in some Sunnyvale cafeteria. And what's worse the prizes are a $5 iTunes gift certificate. Thanks for nothing.
