That is right, Revver was a good idea.
But it was handled in quite a disastrous style
by a pair of lawyers Ken Hertz and Fred Goldring
I think their names are. I used to work there,
and these guys tried to be 'creative' and 'marketers' for the web, but ..like the lawyer
folks who killed the music biz...they don't have
that skill set ! They alienated everyone, and
now have to sell it at firesale for nothing,
at great loss to investors. What kind of smart
busniess sensese is that? Not very good mssrs
Goldring and Hertz ! THose guys are not very smart, and too bad for Revver and Steven Starr,
if only he had better judgement finding legal
partners than those bunch of clowns...ya know

Well, I am sure with $5m raised from Sequoia Capital and with top PayPal coders who founded it, they will either bury you, or just reduce to another porn site.

Good luck Steve.

Hi Jim,

Perhaps if you'd chosen to investigate further, you might have noted that youtube's design was inspired by a variety of sites including Flickr, a user-generated media site inspired by many media-aggregating precursors rowing thumbnails.

Revver is rooting for youtube and we've said so publicly. We're rooting for a lot of other people who are focused on user-generated content, including Vimeo, Veoh, Ourmedia, Creative Commons, DTV, etc. Some of these people are our partners, and we don't see any of them as our enemies, nor they us.

Youtube announced recently that they are thinking about a 'revver-like' creator compensation solution. Should we attack youtube for being influenced by us, for doing the right thing by creators? Should Flickr attack youtube because youtube took front end design ideas from it?

We are all watching what each other are doing and learning. That's the way it works.

All best,

Steven
