MONACO —  Qlipso, the Los Angeles based video sharing site, which allows users to interact around videos with friends in “private rooms” with videos and their own avatars, claims 14 million unique monthly viewers.

The company says that visitors stay four times longer than conventional video sharing sites.

Qlipso purchased the assets of the defunct video site Veoh in April.
