Al Gore’s Best Invention Since the Internet: Money for Videos!

ByNalts

gorered1.jpgAl Gore has had an invention drought since he created the Internet’s tubes and pipes. But he’s back with Current TV. Current has been just out my peripheral vision until I saw its booth at the Independent Feature Project (IFP) event yesterday. Then Techcrunch today reported on Current’s partnership with Yahoo.

If your video is featured on the Yahoo! Current Network, you’ll get $100. If it gets picked to air on Current TV, you’ll get an additional $500.

Al Gore- thanks for inventing the first ever way for amateurs to make money on their work!

  1. Does this mean that Google is on the outs with Current TV? Or is Google squeezing their iron fist too hard and something slipped out?

    Yucky Yahoo. Bummer.
