Here's a new online video service that shares ad revenue like Revver. It's called ClipSyndicate, and its partners include Bloomberg News, The Associated Press and other news outlets. The idea behind ClipSyndicate, says The International Herald Tribute, is "to give local U.S. television stations, which have watched as online upstarts have stolen viewers and advertising…
It's a little early in this blog's life to wander off topic (as I'm prone to do on Revverberation), but this is worth it. I've discovered two great photo sites this morning. Each worth some time. 1) Worth1000: A site that features contests for PhotoShop junkies. Some hysterical images, including a collection of presidents in…
Here's a recipe for success… http://www.chapter11tv.com/. During this video, an overzealous CEO demonstrates how much he has spent, and how he has no apparent income model.
The beauty about online video is that it forces you to compress your story. Both in size and time. BlipTV is a nice model for this, and I'm surprised I'm just discovering it. The tagline says it all: "Nobody Does it Shorter." It's 5 second to 3 minute bits that can be streamed on phone…

There's nothing like shooting a low-budget video and scoring it with some recognizable music. Most sites aren't preventing amateurs from using copyrighted music, but this will become a bigger issue in the months ahead…. especially if you're making income on your videos on sites like Revver.com. In the meantime, you have four choices: 1) Go…
Two interesting trends have accelerated the growth of "Citizen Created Commercials" (ads like those of FireFoxFlicks that are created not by Madisson Avenue but by folks like us). First, as brands migrate big television dollars to the web, there's simply not enough traditional paid placement opportunities (like banners nobody clicks). So marketers want something that…
For starters, let me get two things out in the open. I'm a Revver addict, and this blog is a spinoff of Revverberation, the unofficial blog of Revver. I'm also not a film pro, so we won't be exploring how to get your feature length film into Sundance. This blog focuses on how the average…
