Overview
Revver is a video-sharing platform deploying an innovative business model with hyperdistribution as its core. Differentiating itself from competitor YouTube by offering per-view revenue, the platform takes advantage of peer-to-peer distribution mechanisms for sharing its hosted videos. When a user uploads a video to Revver, customised software inserts a brief, unobtrusive advertisement at the end of the video stream. At this point, the ‘Revverised’ video can be downloaded and distributed via any method – website, email, P2P, without losing the advertisement. Revver software reports back to the main website every time the embedded ad is clicked irrespective of location, prompting the advertiser to be charged a micropayment. The platform shares the associated revenue with the owner of the video on a 50/50 basis. Revver’s users are able to track their video’s performance, monitoring how many times the video has been viewed, and the amount of revenue accruing. Sharers are able to earn 20% of ad revenue for forwarding the videos.
