Intelligent Video-Advertising For Site Owners

Nader — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 23:07:37 +0000

AdBrite, a content ad network, has just soft launched its newest product: InVideo

With InVideo the company has created a video player similar to YouTube’s, which users can brand with their own logo and, if wanted, include AdBrite ads. The good thing: you get paid when other people watch your video and even better, you also get paid if somebody embeds it on their own site. Additionally, a click leads the watcher to your website. InVideo is still in private beta testing but you can sign up for an invitation on the about page.

Comments from users around the internet are pretty controversial. One argument is that it is now easier than ever to steal a video, push in some AdBrite ads and profit from it. I think it is true, nevertheless it is a great way to embed (your) videos on your website.

Video Comparison: Apple Intel-Mac Vs. Postal Service

Nader — Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:06:14 +0000

Apple’s new commercial for the Intel-Macs – like the controversial iPod ad – seems to have used a music video by “The Postal Service” as inspiring example. The video shows very similar pictures and cuts, especially the scene where the woman looks into the man’s eyes. Here is a video comparing the two, side-by-side. On the left is the apple clip, on the right the music video. By accident? Again?

Update: The similarities are no accident: both videos have been produced by Josh & Xander, reports The Culf of Mac. Postal Service’s label told yesterday the video has not been licensed and they didn’t know about it till Apple’s Intel-Mac release.
