Nowadays it’s all about content delivery isn’t it?  Revver, a video download site, is trying to revolutionize online video.  Well, industrialize anyways.  What they do is attach an ad to the end of all of the video clips you submit.  Here is a quote from Revver’s FAQs:

“It’s really simple; you upload a video to Revver, and we attach a brief, unobtrusive ad, called a RevTagâ„¢, at the end. You can then track your video’s performance via your Revver account - which tells you exactly how often your video is being watched, and how much money you’ve earned from it.  Since RevTags are attached to the video itself, there’s no restriction on how your videos can be distributed. It’s a totally open system—the more that people email your video, post it to other websites or download it from P2P, the more money you will earn.”

The advertising revenue for your videos is split 50/50 between you and the company.  The site handles MOV, MPEG, WMV, ASF and AVI (including DIVX) and restricts you to under 100MB files.  You can tag your videos so they are searchable by others.  They also have a button on the top that says “show adult content” for all of you looking for porn with ads in it.

It’s only a matter of time before this startup gets bought by Yahoo isn’t it?  This is definitely worth checking out if you’ve got some content you want to get out there.  If you’re not down with the whole ad thing, check out lulu as well.
