Video links for 5/29/07
by
MonetizeMedia allows content owners to make money on their videos, publishers to create communities around video content, and advertisers a new medium to reach their audience. Hat tip to Greg Verdino for the link.
UstreamTV is a platform that provides live interactive video for everyone.
Anyone with a camera and an Internet connection can use Ustream to broadcast to a global audience. Hat tip to Rodney Rumford for the link. Rodney also is involved in a couple of interesting new web 2.0 video-related technology startups: VideoSticky.com and Mojopages.com
Welcome to TV 2.0!! New video startup Joost.com has entered pubic beta. TechCrunch has been giving out free invites to readers who are interested. Already many high-profile networks and content providers are supplying free video content for Joost.
An interesting new concept in user-generated commercials has popped up. Startup Qoof.com dubs its video library “USERMERCIALS”. According to their web site, you can upload your own usermercial and they will give you $5.00.
Startup veotag.com is offering businesses the ability to “tag” their audio and video to create links that jump right to the appropriate location in a video file, create chapter headings, tables of contents and allow search engines the ability to see what’s inside audio or video files.
For travelers, and those using maps to “explore” new places… EveryScape is a new startup that is planning to mash up maps with 360 degree virtual tours (maybe video too?). As it stands right now, the concept is great, but I would say they have a little work to do on their user interface. I found it extremely cumbersome to use. If they don’t fix it, they’re going to lose users from the get-go. Cool idea though.
That’s it for the video links today! If anyone has any other interesting video sites worth sharing, shoot me an email or post in comments below.

Thanks Rodney! I’ve been trying to keep an eye on things over your way. I’ll have to make an effort to really dig around some more with what you’re up to.
