Yakoozo have just finished testing there site online and are now re-designing and upgrading for middle of May 09, they have promoted this fact. They will be offering professionally produced "informative" hotel video & customer video reviews on one website. I was on there site today and saw that they now offer hotels a pro link to add to hotel websites. The way they do it is quite clever as no embedding or content alterations are required. They are only UK only though. Nevertheless, its like one site for everything. This site has some video but has not really launched yet. Yes, i have been researching yakoozo for our travel bog.

They have 50 vids now, so it will be interesting to see how many they have compiled in a couple weeks. I'm on the fences on this one, as it really comes down to how well their PR campaign is.

Perhaps if you got paid after someone viewed your video and then booked any hotel on the site that would help a little (revenue shared among the makers of all videos viewed?). As things stand, the most likely scenario for a negative review is if someone is so upset with a hotel that they want to make sure they get in the way of future business. That may happen, but I suspect will be a less common occurence (and obviously not inspired by the payment structure then).
