video sharing

As reported by the Financial Times, YouTube video-sharing website is accelerating its negotiations with Hollywood movie makers over a global pay-as-you-go video service that could be launched by the end of the year.

According to the sources familiar with the matter the new service will likely be first launched in the United States, followed by other countries over time.

Google and YouTube "talked about how many people they could steer to this ... it's a huge number," the newspaper quoted an executive with knowledge of the plans as saying.

A new research was recently released by Ipsos. The research studied how consumers engage with media brands, with a specific focus on popular online video and TV brands. The results show that YouTube is considered the most engaging online video brand.

Yet, YouTube achieved lower ratings when it comes to credibility as compared with its high ranks in entertainment.

As many online users still wonder how they can participate in the YouTube Partner Program that allows an individual to earn thousands of dollars in return for creating short video clips the project team decided to arrange a questions casting to allow users ask their questions.

Google Moderator allows interested parties to submit questions and/or vote on the ones other people put forward. The action is valid through 5 PM PT on April 13th.
