Bigelow, The Bourne Innovation: UC Researchers Launch a YouTube for Scientists<http://www.xconomy.com/san-diego/2008/11/24/the-bourne-innovation-uc-researchers-launch-a-youtube-for-scientists/>, Xconomy, November 24, 2008. ... [Phil] Bourne saw the emerging trend [of OA] and recruited Leo Chalupa, a friend and colleague at UC Davis, to launch an online video project to help scientists make their research better-known. Bourne and Chalupa were initially unsure if the project they started last year was merely an interesting science project or a business. But they decided to form a startup company earlier this year around what they call SciVee<http://www.scivee.tv/>. It is basically a YouTube for academic researchers. ... Bourne says his first idea was to essentially create "pubcasts," which typically consist of a 15-minute video in which the author of a published and peer-reviewed article explains the research and highlights the key findings. ... Scientists also are using SciVee to enhance research published in so-called "poster sessions" at scientific conferences and to form online communities of interest. ... By providing a technology platform much like YouTube's, SciVee enables scientists across a host of disciplines to create content in any field of science, technology, or medicine. Bourne says K-12 teachers and other educational users also are using SciVee to post videos likethis<http://scivee.com/node/2508>for younger students to access. About 1,000 users have posted videos on the site so far. ... [T]he National Science Foundation <http://www.nsf.gov/> ... provided the $175,000 "exploratory grant" that enabled Bourne to get SciVee started. ... "It is not an advertising supported model," says [Marc] Friedmann, SciVee's CEO. "We are distinctly not pursuing the approach of putting up a website, trying to build a lot of traffic for the site, and then realizing revenue through advertising based on that traffic. To this point in time, we've built the business with a little bit of government grant support, but we're looking to commercialize it by generating revenue from paying customers." -- Fernando César Lima Leite [EMAIL PROTECTED] 61-84923402
