Revver 1.0: make money for your viral vids
Revver, the service that turns your homemade videos into commercial items, has just gone out of beta and into 1.0. Revver lets you upload your videos -- like the infamous Mentos/Diet Coke fountains -- and then distributes them with advertising rolls afterwards, splitting the money with you.
Revver's got a great toolsuite for creators and viewers, and to my eye, the videos look better than YouTube's or Google Videos, and a great collection of social gizmos to help you find the best stuff on the site. The extensive API invites you to remix the site to your heart's content -- unsurprising, given that one of Revver's founders is Ian Clarke, the co-creator of Freenet.
With the 1.0 launch, Revver substantially updates the creator tools, API support, and adds a Flash player and playlists. They've also ironed out a lot of bugs and added a ton of fit-and-finish to the service. This is good stuff.
