GodTube: 9 Rules for Dating My Daughter
This is an amazingly hip and funny video from the Sermon Series on Families at North Point Church of Springfield, Mo., posted on GodTube.
GodTube, which describes itself as a Christian video-driven social-networking site, “where users find inspiration, interact, chat, share and upload” Christian video, has about 2 million users per month.
GodTube also lets churches stream sermons and other events live on its “Godcaster” subscription service.
Also, its motto is “Broadcast Him,” but GodTube also calls itself “Jesus 2.0.” Get it?
Perhaps more in the holy-grail territory, GodTube just nabbed $30 million this week in funding from GLG Partners (GLG), which is also an investor in the less-holy Glam Media site, according to paidContent.
That gives the Dallas-based GodTube a $150 million valuation, putting it right up there with other miraculous start-up valuations like yesterday’s $500 million valuation for the online ad agency Spot Runner.
Praise the VC (and, for GodTube fans, JC too)!
Here’s the North Point Church video on GodTube:
