Trivia- who’s in this photo? And what’s their net worth?


Interesting AdWeek story “Revver Tempts YouTubers With Money.” Seems pay-for-content is starting to approach tipping point. Note- Revver is like a Paypal of online video. Not a destination, but a tool to facilitate sharing and displaying of videos for those too small to hunt down advertisers of their own but would like ad revenue. Which…
Currently YouTube doesn’t distinguish between professionals and amateurs in its “Partner” program, or in the way it alleges to promotes videos. But this article suggests that’s about to change, and it’s an important sign that YouTube may be transforming from a user-generated platform to a professional media distributor. Today, advertisers have two choices: they can…
The online video market is getting more crowded. Here’s another revenue-sharing model in the lines of Revver and Eefoof and Motion.tv. It’s called Flixya. I discovered it from some self-promotional comments posted on popular YouTube videos. Looks interesting, but the proof is in the pudding. I’ve asked Marquis to post his earnings to date on…
In meetings for more than a year, Fox, Viacom, NBC and CBS have pretended that they can coordinate to create a network-friendly online video site. Competitors partering.

I advocate that brands participate in online-video, but by partnering with those already “in the house.” But I struggle when I see Zappos becoming a publisher. Or Bank of America developing a financial-advice channel (and surprisingly co-branding it with YouTube). Whatya think?

You start your Rubiks cube and we’ll see who gets there first. I’m at the Yahoo! Homepage. I see Movies/TV in the primary navigation….

Well I’d have to venture a guess and say that’s Chad Hurley and Steven Chen, CEO and CTO respectively, of You-Tube. Former employees of Paypal, the pair have accumulated approximately $11.5 million dollars in venture capital over the last five months. Am I right?
Damnnnnn. But you forgot that the cash they’ve raised will, at a burn rate of more than a million a month, not necessarily get them to 2007.
Nope didn’t forget, I just assume that there will be a public offering in the next year. And when they do I’m first in line. They’re too brilliant and successful to let this one go bust.
Elisabeth… your site isn’t as pretty as you. Can I recommend a new designer?
wow
