I was checking them out the other day - I believe the split is 50/50. The concept is not bad, although so far I'm not seeing the relevance between the content and the ads. I saw a video of two guys beating each other up, followed by an ad for stylish backpacks. I'm guessing they will run into some issues along those fronts.
Also, there was a lot of content on their site that had been uploaded by people other than the creators, which seems wrong. It's interesting, because sites like ifilm put ads around videos that they don't own and that I don't have a problem with that (because they at least provide the service/bandwidth for the vids). However, in this case, these people that are uploading others' videos play no part in the value equation - they are not creating content nor hosting content, simply injecting themselves in the middle of the process. Thoughts? Cheers, Rob PS In the interests of disclosure, I should mention that I work for a software company (PiXPO) that has developed some cool video technology and has a large network of video viewers. My interest in this topic is by no means unbiased. (btw - we will have a new website next week that will be way simpler and will make it much more clear what we're all about). --- In [email protected], André Sala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What do we think is a fair split?
