YouTube: "Sell your own ads, give us some of the money"
YouTube is officially allowing video creators to sell their own ads, after Googler Jordan Hoffner revealed the then-informal program in an interview with TV Week two months ago. Online video production company Revision3 is listed as one of the participating companies, with a GoDaddy campaign. Interestingly, content partners will also be able to sell ads against other YouTube videos in the same subject vertical — so Revision3 could sell ads that play against other technology-oriented programming on YouTube.

Revision3 CEO: Antipiracy group attacked our network
Jim Louderback, the CEO of Revision3, is jumpin' mad. A denial-of-service attack brought down the online-video network over the weekend, and it wasn't the work of a freelance hacker with a distributed network of compromised machines, he writes in the company blog. It was, he says, the deliberate act of MediaDefender, an antipiracy consulting group which works to shut down file-sharing networks. Revision3 uses BitTorrent, a file-sharing protocol, to distribute its own content, and runs a "tracker" server to coordinate those downloads. All of this is quite legal. MediaDefender, it turns out, found a security hole in Revision3's server, and planted unknown files, possibly illegal copies on Revision3's servers, for their own purposes. It's not clear why, but whatever the motive, MediaDefender may have broken several laws in doing so. More »

Revision3 hit by possible hacker attack
Veronica Belmont only recently signed on to do Tekzilla with Revision3, and is already reporting from behind the scenes of the web network's infrastructure with "Holy DDOS attacks, Batman! Rev3 is under fire!" I contacted co-founder and VP David Prager, who wrote it's a "possible DDOS attack," and that "our IT and tech team is working on if there is an issue or not." For what it's worth, the site's loading fine for me, so no need to fret that you'll miss the latest from Diggnation just yet.

Robert Scoble moonlighting with Revision3
Ubiquiterrifying new media maven Robert Scoble will be filming yet another show, FastWork.tv, out of the Revision3 studios in San Francisco. >He announced the move at a MediaBistro event in New York yesterday, where Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback was also in attendance. I'm going to take a wild guess that the new show will be brought to you by longtime Scoble sponsor Seagate.
Hulu nabs Diggnation and other Revision3 shows
Hulu, the online video site created as a joint venture between NBC and News Corp., will distribute shows from content startup Revision3, which focuses on shows broadly related to technology. Now you can easily switch between WWE wrestling matches and watching Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose getting drunk without having to turn off your laptop. [Silicon Alley Insider]

R is for Rose, who made Digg his toy
Kevin Rose takes up 62 out of 294 pages in Sarah Lacy's Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good, her new book about Web 2.0. That's less than I expected, since Rose was the coverboy for the BusinessWeek, co-written by Lacy, which launched her book. From the look of the index, not much time is spent on the women Rose is said to have "plowed through", as his friend Alex Albrecht once put it: More »

A is for Adelson, who cofounded Digg
Digg cofounder Jay Adelson is now asked by the likes of Kara Swisher how he'd fix big media companies, as in this clip. But there was a time when he barely knew what to do with his own Internet startup, Equinix. That tale and more covers 54 out of 294 pages in Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good, Sarah Lacy's soon-to-be-released book about Web 2.0. The first page of the book's index, one of many to come: More »

Pixar's Wall-E photographed in the wild by departed Revision3 host
Nearly a year to the day after signing up to co-host of Revision3 geek how-to show Systm, David Randolph has left the show to pursue a gig with an unnamed new client — that a tipster is guessing to be Pixar, based on a blurry phonecam picture of the studio's latest creation, Wall-E. It makes sense on two levels: One, Pixar is incredibly secretive. And two, having been behind the gates once myself, the place is littered with models of movie characters past and present. Hope this little peak behind the scenes doesn't get Randolph fired by an enraged Steve Jobs.

Even Gary Vaynerchuk couldn't save Revision3's Web-video pitch
Revision3 videoblogger Martin Sargent began the closing keynote at Ad:tech — also a live taping of his talk show Internet Superstar — with a video tour through the conference floor. The best part was when Sargent walked over to a booth. "So you're Smiley Media?" he asked. "That's us." Sargent: "What the fuckk are you so happy about?" The Daily Show's Rob Corddry couldn't have done it better. It was a good moment for Web TV, made especially sweet by the fact that hundreds of ad buyers — Revision3's prospective clients, many of them — were looking on from the audience. Too bad that was the keynote's last watchable moment. More »

Latest by Arnaud H: @BigDaddyBear: GaryV is sticking to wine - that's what his video podcasts are about. Boring? I think not. And every public appearance he does ends up promoting wine in general and his business in particular - now that's branding. And it costs him practically nothing to produce those video podcasts. more »
