Revision3 has partnered with VideoClix to offer viewers clickable web videos.
VideoClix’s technology allows viewers to click on different objects within a video, including show hosts and products, for more information and facts on what they’ve clicked on. The product is pitched as offering curious TV viewers seeking more information on what they’re seeing on the screen the option to obtain that information.
The additional information provided by the service is monetized, with affiliate or sponsored links to products features in the video.
Diggnation is the first Revision3 show to include interactive episodes, with Internet Superstar, Tekzilla and The Totally Rad Show to follow, although currently the clickable versions can only be accessed on the VideoClix site. The first Diggnation show with the technology can be viewed here.
get these clowns off my front page.
I don’t get it.
Why do people even tune into these mop-haired fools?

very cool something similar here http://www.clowcash.com
Cody told me about this site,
woow..
800k rss readers.
So some actionscript, the adobe suite and $9M in funding? I think it’s cool that this type of video is clickable and interactive, but how long will they be able to entertain the visitors with fresh content? Haven’t really looked into this, but user generated content seems like it would be very hard to add these clickable features to…still a great concept and move forward cs3 style.
It’s too cool stuff. Can’t I see that function in a video player? There’s one I know.

It gives a tool to make a plug-in with GStreamer. I hope somebody can integrate an object recognition technology to this player. ^^
@2: Because they are interesting and fun to watch? Link me something you’ve done that’s even 1/10th as popular as Digg, Revision3, Diggnation, or Totally Rad Show.

Considering the many different ways people can get access to the Revision3 shows, why would they choose to watch them on VideoClix’s site with all the advertising? The Digg users go out of their way to block advertising in the first place, so I doubt that they will opt in for this. Time will tell if they are successful or not, however.
One of them has become a Geek celebrity with the girls, according to many blog posts.
Coming in second is one of the editors of Mashable; according to blogs, he is also starting to get his share of attention.
Who are the women celebs, besides the Google spokesperson?
