Make money from sharing your vids…if you want too

While projects like Stray Cinema are intentionally non-for-profit, I like that there has recently been an influx of websites that allow people to make money from sharing their films.

There is a good overview of these sites on Scott Kirsner’s blog. One website in particular, that I have stumbled upon before, has a very cool idea. Revver allows it’s users to host videos on their website, and then halves the advertising revenue (short adverts tagged on end of films) with the film’s creator. Further to that, if you decide to post a video from the Revver website on your own blog, then you would receive 20% of the advertising revenue from that video. What a great incentive for viral marketing I say!

First NZ submission

As you may know, I am a kiwi, and based in New Zealand at the moment, so I was really excited when our first NZ submission came in on Friday.

The rise of mass participation online in the 21st century...

Ok, Charles Leadbetter is the author of a new book 'We Think', which he has opened up to readers by making it available as a wiki. I think he has some interesting insights into the power of mass creativity online. More often than not, our experience of the Internet these days is that of participation and collaboration. We are moving away from being just consumers of information/ creativity/ goods/ services whatever online, and moving more towards being contributors of this content instead.

At this time, when so many people are creating and contributing content online, creative licensing is also a hot topic, and rightfully so. What can and can not be shared? And if it can be shared, then in what way and where? God bless the Creative Commons for providing answers to at least some these questions.
