YouTube on Your TV
Have you ever wanted to just sit on your couch and watch YouTube on your TV? Well, now that's possible via YouTube for Television, initially available through the Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii game consoles at www.youtube.com/tv. Currently in beta, the TV Website offers a dynamic, lean-back, 10-foot television viewing experience through a streamlined interface that enables you to discover, watch and share YouTube videos on any TV screen with just a few quick clicks of your remote control. With enlarged text and simplified navigation, it makes watching YouTube on your TV as easy and intuitive as possible. Optional auto-play capability enables users to view related videos sequentially, emulating a traditional television experience. The TV Website is available internationally across 22 geographies and in over 12 languages.
As previously blogged, YouTube has partnered directly with major TV and set-top box manufacturers to bring YouTube into the living room. Still, very few such devices today contain a Web browser or provide access to YouTube. Our hope is that this site may help to accelerate an industry evolution towards open television access to Web video. Over time, we plan to add support for additional TV devices that provide Web browsers.
So grab some popcorn, gather your friends and sit back and enjoy the YouTube TV Website.Labels: internet, nintendo, ps3, sony, television, tv, video, videos, web, webtv, wii, youtube

Revver to Launch Impression-Based Video Advertising Options
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Revver, Inc. ( http://www.revver.com/), the first marketplace for online videos, today announced that it will make impression-based advertising products, including pre-roll and post-roll video ads, available to advertisers and content owners this month. These ads will offer new, more effective ways for advertisers to reach viewers and for content owners to earn revenue.
The new ads will be tested in the coming weeks. Revver already offers a Cost Per Click (CPC) ad product, a clickable frame at the end of a video, which pays a user according to the number of ad clicks. Revver will add Cost Per Thousand (CPM) ad products, which pay a user according to the number of ad views, to its service. With this launch, Revver will extend greater flexibility to advertisers and content owners. Advertisers will be able to blend ad products, and content owners can choose whether to use the new formats.
“Today, Revver stands alone in the convoluted online video market for offering a simple and effective service that links advertisers with content owners,” said Kevin Wells, CEO. “As the demand for online video advertising continues to grow, we’re building a customizable range of ad products to better meet our partners’ needs.”
New products include pre-roll and post-roll video ads. Uniquely, Revver can also match pre- and post-roll ads to create ‘bookends’. Pre-roll ads will be no longer than fifteen seconds in length. To qualify for a pre-roll ad, a video must be at least thirty seconds long among other conditions. As ever, Revver will split the advertising revenue generated 50/50 with content creators, and those who simply share or host others’ videos can receive twenty percent of the revenue off the top.
About Revver
Revver pioneered the online video advertising market with the debut of its video sharing service powered by advertising in 2006. Revver’s open system enables any content owner — from amateur to professional — to share content across the Internet and additional distribution channels, including mobile and broadcast, and rewards them with a percentage of the advertising revenue generated. Revver also vigorously upholds content owners’ rights by screening each video submitted and not accepting copyright-infringing content. For more information, visit http://www.revver.com/.
