A New Face on Revver
Revver 1.1 launches today. I’d cover it, but this guy from TheDailyReel did it with poetry I can’t match.

Revver’s recent change raises questions about the sustainability of amateur-created content, and whether Hollywood should be “dictating business models.” In a recent CNET article titled “YouTube Rivals Look for Answers,” Greg Sandoval reported that Revver co-founder Oliver Luckett and Revver’s Chief Technology Officer Rob Maigret have left Revver and are working together on a video project. The article…
I wrote this article for The Daily Reel about finding the right online video site — whether you’re after fame, fortune or friends. Contrary to popular belief, YouTube isn’t the definitive video-sharing site for everyone. Knowing what you want is the first step in figuring out where to share. When it comes to sharing videos…
Now that Google gulped YouTube, the obvious next acquisition target is Metacafe. It’s the highest independent site on the top 10 lists, and I would predict it’s purchased by a paranoid media player by the end of the year, but certainly no later than end of Q1 2007. ReelPopBlog has a nice review of Metacafe,…
Google Video is rolling out some new features, including “instant gratification” uploading, and the ability to add comments, tags and ratings. Buried quietly in the “terms and conditions” (which you default accept if you don’t opt out in 5 days) is some language that suggests Google Video is preparing to give amateurs the ability to…
This blog was originally founded as a way to help amateur “online video creators” make cash. It’s drifted into a review of the online video industry, advertising implications, and even a source for current popular online viral videos. For this post let’s get back to our roots. Through the sweat, blood and tears of MarquisdeJolie…
TubeMogul’s blog did a nice summary of the online-video sites it feeds, and provides user feedback about the site and monetization status (whether you can make money on the sites). You can also read the “Zagat’s”-like report as a PDF. Thanks to Mark from TubeMogul for bringing this to our attention.

Is it everything you hoped it would be?
Not yet. Tons of traffic on Revverized video (and better analytics). Then…. boom-bada-bing.
Revver 1.1 sounds nice,but it will still be the pay per click model.I emailed sean boyd(member services coordinator at revver),he said to “look for pay per impression in a couple of months,and that 1.1 will take a fair amount of testing”.At least they are moving in the right direction! * P.S. I just made my first .12 cents on Blip.tv!! Except its still pending,i guess it takes some extra financing to deal out that kind of cash? good luck all, Steve :-O
I stopped checking on Blip. It was depressing me. My revenue looks like my stock dividends during the bubble bust.
The new widget builder is definitely helpful, and I like the look of the site a lot more. Even though it’s not every thing I would like it to be it’s well on its way.
