Google Shares Ad Wealth With Videographers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shaking-it-up dept.

Rockgod writes to let us know that Google has begun sharing advertising revenue with the makers of a popular video clip. From the article: "[This] is a groundbreaking deal that could drive up the costs of competing in the fledgling video-sharing sector. The search company has agreed to turn over most advertising revenue generated by the latest video from Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz, creators of 'The Diet Coke & Mentos Experiment,' according to Peter Chane, a senior product manager for Google Video."

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Julianna Rose Mauriello, the actress who played Stephanie on the television show "Lazytown" was found dead in her New York home this morning. There were not any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss her - even if you did not enjoy her work, there is no denying her contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
