O Buffista hivemind that is better than Google, I call upon your expertise for a work project.

I need websites that play video content with ads attached. (There needs to be advertising because we're not going to bother putting content on a site with no revenue stream.) I've been tapped for this research because I'm apparently an expert on online video, except that I, um, don't really watch that much of it. So if anyone's got a site other than YouTube where you can watch video content with advertising, send it my way!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, sorry - I should have been more specific. I'm looking for sites where 3rd party content providers can create their own "channels." The idea is to put our content somewhere online where we can make money off it.

Like this, only I'm supposed to be coming up with a whole list of options.

Well mine's not relevant at all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

There's a review of some video sharing sites here: [link]

The only one they mention ads specifically with is revver:

YouTube last night said it’s offering a new kind of embedded in-video advertising that’s going to help its parent company, Google (GOOG), and its media partners make money off what has thus far been a fallow field — online video.

YouTube’s in-video advertising techniques have resulted in many pointing out that VideoEgg, a San Francisco-based startup that goes through identity changes more often The Talented Mr. Ripley has already offered these kinds of ads. (It’s a Facebook-ad network now!)

Coding and Sleeping

You know how some people have trouble getting their promised rebates for in-store purchases of electronics and what-not?

Yeah, I never got my rebate from SOYO which has soured me on getting anything from them in the future.

Also soured on Maxtor (now Seagate). They took nearly five months to repair a drive that died under warranty, the new drive failed exactly the same way in a week. I'm not even sure I want to return it again because I'm going trust that drive a heck of a lot less than I can throw it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I suggest contacting Seagate and seeing if they will replace it with a similar-sized Seagate drive, this time.
