Revolutionary social media community Kondoot goes live in 200 countries worldwide, powered by EdgeCast Networks.

BRISBANE, QLD / SANTA MONICA, CA – July 31, 2012 – Social Live Video website Kondoot.com – with a user base spanning almost 200 countries – and EdgeCast Networks today announced that Kondoot is using EdgeCast to deliver its video content to end users around the world.

“Kondoot’s Social Live Video has revolutionized social networking, and our strong growth reflects this. Our user base has tripled in the last few months, a rate of growth not even we could predict,” said Mark Cracknell, co-founder and Director of Kondoot.

To support this rapid growth, Kondoot has partnered with EdgeCast Networks, the world’s fastest and most reliable content delivery network (CDN). This partnership ensures Kondoot video, live or recorded, can be viewed quickly and smoothly, regardless of the end user location.

Improved viewing and sharing is at the heart of Kondoot’s service, where artists and entrepreneurs can connect with a global audience, and even monetize their skillset. Everyone from musicians to fitness trainers have the option to broadcast for free or charge attendees a fee, which in turn requires uninterrupted, high quality content delivery.

“EdgeCast is the best CDN there is, and now fundamental to our mission to provide users with a first class experience every time they log on to Kondoot,” Mark said. “We’re thrilled with the results, and excited about delivering them to our global user base.”
