Intelligent Video-Advertising For Site Owners
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.

Evolution Of A Dove Advertisement
I have seen a very interesting video about the development of an advertisement for Dove beauty products.
As you might imagine, the video shows the path from an “ugly” looking woman to a pretty one after using the products, eh after using eyeshadow, hair styling and photo editing (as usual).
No matter if it is for real or not, the video is great :)
