Here's some good news for us (even though I've not done any for a while) video bloggers.
"YouTube could take an important step toward integrating advertising with its vast library of videos as soon as next week.
Content creators who upload their videos to the site will be offered the option of having short ads shown at the beginning or end, with the resulting revenues split 50-50, according to Howard Lindzon, founder of Wallstrip, a finance-oriented site that distributes videos through YouTube. Key to the new venture will be making sure that those who upload video actually own the rights to it -- which has been a vexing issue in the past for YouTube, now part of Google's Silicon Valley empire."
