So what happened with it’s deal with Revver? Wasn’t it supposed to host Revver videos?
Yes- it’s still announcing Revver as one of its 80 content providers, but I can’t find my stuff. I’ll post on the Revver forum about it.
Revver’s on its way … we’re waiting for a way to play revverized videos but in the flash player that we use on the site. Keep posted!

Thanks for the rapid response. It would be great to have a way to view Revver videos sans Flash. I think Quicktime’s limited installed base is a potential rate limiter for Revver.
I know this is old, but Revver videos seem to be playable at blinkx. Also, searching blinkx for Nalts returns quite a few videos.
