Just discovered a new niche video site called GodTube. You guessed it, a YouTube wannabe with very specific target users and audience in mind: Christians. According to the site, “GodTube.com is a video-driven social network designed for both Christians and non-Christians to share the message and love of Christ. We are a family-friendly site where people of all ages, races, backgrounds, and nationalities can share and belong”. The potential here is very huge given the number of Christians in the US and abroad.
Just like YouTube, you can upload and share videos, create a channel, join or create a group, etc. They have also tapped into churches by helping them spread their messages to millions via their GodTube Ministries. Ministry Pages enables churches to post videos, interact with users, and broadcast live using the Prayer Blog and video blog. Apparently the site started with a mere $300 video publishing script and exploded from there becoming the #1 fastest growing website last August. Here’s the current growth trend for monthly users from Compete.

It appears that growth has slowed considerably since then and has become somewhat stagnant, yet that hasn’t stopped them from receiving $30 million in funding and a $150 million valuation. Is this a sign that the Web 2.0 bubble is about to pop or just verification that the guys over at AllahTube may be on to something there?
