Buried in a Motley Fool roundup, a mention of Revver.com, usually ignored these days in favor of YouTube, that comes close to summing up the viral video field altogether. Revver, you may recall, is similar to YouTube in many respects but splits revenue with users who upload original video. … “It’s a bold approach. Within a year, Revver will either be huge or it will be history. There is no in-between when you’re dishing out that kind of tasty viral candy.”
Despite YouTube’s insistence that it’s not for sale, Rick Munarriz adds this: “How much do you want to bet that YouTube doesn’t make it to next year as an independent entity? If it does, I’ll put on a sundress and upload the video to YouTube. Or, better yet, I’ll upload it to Revver and profit from the humility.”
