: Share; Revver Loading Videos on Verizon’s FiOS

User-created video clips uploaded to video sharing service Revver could soon appear on Verizon’s FiOS TV fiber optic high-speed IPTV service.

Revver provides ad-supported video sharing services and shares revenue with content creators. As part of this new deal, Verizon will keep 20% of ad revenue from a video clip. Revver and the clip’s creator will split the rest.

The Revver videos will appear on Verizon’s Surround online entertainment portal by the end of the first quarter 2007 and on FiOS TV later this year. Access will be free to Verizon’s FiOS TV and broadband subscribers. Videos will be cached on Verizon’s system before being distributed to customers.

“This initiative will help us further support our creators by bringing their content to a whole new TV audience,” said Revver CEO Steven Starr in a statement. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for our company and the growing Revver community.”

The videos that will appear on FiOS will be hand-picked from categories on Revver.com. When viewing a video, FiOS viewers will also see related content. According to a company statement, content creators need to approve their videos for distribution over FiOS.

In a separate deal earlier this year, Revver will be distributing videos through Verizon’s V Cast mobile entertainment service.

Right now, at the beginning of 2012, what are you watching the most closely for its ad and marketing opportunities?
Mobile. Smart devices have become standard, and advertising is only going to become more creative there.

Online video. It's a real competitor to TV now, and it presents really interesting ways to engage viewers.

Social media. The new Facebook timeline and the surge of Google+ have cracked the game wide open again.

Tempting as it might be, I don't want to get too involved in one aspect.

See, I think this might be a good time to see what would happen if we revisited MySpace, but made the ads slightly bigger... with more strobe effect.
