I’m amazed no one is actually talking revenue sharing yet. There is no way no video site will be able to challenge youtube’s brand without some kind of revenue sharing model. You can already see sites like http://www.infe...tiousvideos.com or revver.com that are revenue sharing. These will be the sites that succeed.

Jump to the business model!…

[...]
Skipping ahead, I had the thought that once people were able to tell their own stories, the ones who lived in consumer-focused environments would (or at least could) create \”user-generated content\” that would have real value to companies.

I actually think this is a pretty good idea. Also, one thing not mentioned in the article was the team – take a look. This is not exactly a bunch of inexperienced clowns – it is probably the best tech team I have seen in a new co. in a long time (WebMD, Tandberg, Match, Flycast, Lightningcast, AOL, Adify, Ad Agencies, Media Companies) and given what they are building, it seems intriguing.

“The Nerd League” is actually affiliated with “Benchwarmers,” a Sony pictures release. I mean, it’s fun to rip on tech companies, but at least do the minimal due-dilligence before doing so. Your perceived influence on the industry comes with some responsibility, doesn’t it?

[...] Yet another quality coverage from TechCrunch, this time about a new service called ViTrue. On the surface, it looks just like a regular online video sharing site where users can upload their videos online. But there’s a catch – ViTrue has a strong advertising focus, and users will upload videos of themselves promoting their favourite product or brand. [...]

We believe the best way to get people to watch ads is to let anyone create them.

But I don’t think the best approach is public broadcast, not until the advertiser has a chance to view, buy, license and then test.

That’s the way we’re approaching it.

Thanks

[...] ViTrue, Inc., has been around for a minute and is basically YouTube on the advertising kick. Basically. They have heavy hitter investors such as Ron Conway who is also known as the godfather of Google. Give them a look if you have the time today. [...]

“User-generated video sharing site ViTrue, Inc. has come some reputable new investors, including Ron Conway, one of the original investors in Google, often called the “Godfather of Silicon Valley.””

Small point, but unless you mean that Google is the Godfather, your sentence should be reworked. In fact, the whole post needs to be reworked for clarity and readability.

I think we’re all happy to give Michael some more time by bringing on new writing talent, but I’d be thankful for posts that kept up his brief, but articulate and informative style. I’m not trying to harsh on the post; I just want the writing quality to stay high. I understand that it’s hard to jump into a new writing gig with new names and faces, but my vote is for quality over quantity. Cheers. -Colt

I’m not sure that consumer oriented video sites will continue to be the biggest pull – except amongst those who have lots of time on their hands (e.g. teenagers). It just takes too long to find anything good.

They will spend most of it advertising their product/service and paying lawyers to cover loop holes I’d guess

Slow news day I suppose, they announced this over a month ago….

ATLANTA – October 24, 2006 – ViTrue, Inc., pioneer of the world’s first user-created advertising platform, today announced that it has secured a round of strategic funding from Comcast Interactive Capital and Turner Broadcasting. Both join existing investors General Catalyst Partners and ViTrue’s founder and CEO, Reggie Bradford.

Yes, make the graphics more mobile friendly. I’m posting this comment from the underground line of Delhi Metro rail thru my N93. Though it was easy to download content, the page itself was over 500 kb

Your screen shot is way too large. You probably want to limit its width to around 550 PX. Its messing with the site’s ads and formatting.

Believe it or not, but I was thinking about exactly the same thing yesterday night – a service where users could turn themselves into advertising superstarts and post recordings of themselves advertising their favourite product online (revenue sharing included, of course).

All in all, I think this is a very interesting service with a lot of potential – with the $1.65bn acquisition of YouTube, it was only a matter of time before everyone and their dog started looking for a way to monetise UG videos.
