VLOGVILLE
http://www.vlogville.com
Online video advertising is nascent but growing rapidly, and expected to complement or even surpass the diminishing reach of traditional broadcast advertising, with streaming media ad spending alone is expected to exceed $2 billion by 2008 (Jupiter Research). In addition, online pay-per-view (PPV) digital content is expanded to ride on the success of cable PPV. Launching in August, Vlogville will capitalize on this opportunity by enabling independent video content creators to distribute their work (and get paid for doing so) across their Internet with just a few mouse clicks. As Vlogville grows, it will be aggregating an enormous amount of video content, giving consumers access to a broad and varied array of viewing choices. Advertisers will be able to reach these viewers of Internet video directly, allowing them to hone in on specific demographic groups.
