A New Way To Monetize Video Content
It’s not available quite yet but Hiro Media is launching a video site that offers a new way to monetize video content – which of course is great if you produce such. Essentially, clickable ads are embedded in the video content, and content providers earn per click. That way,the video can be viral and still produce revenue. New TeeVee gives more detail.

Video Email With Eyejot
Eyejot offers a nice way for friends and family to stay in touch with each other when live conversation is not possible. Just use a webcam to record a video message and send it off. The recipient gets an email with a link to the video message, which they can view without signing up. To respond, however, they have to register at the site. The interface is pretty simple but logically laid out. If you have multiple messages in your inbox, you can click the “automatically play next message” checkbox to view all of them in succession.

L.A. Times Jobs To Go
The Los Angeles Times will be dropping around 150 jobs this weeks due to decreasing revenues. Nearly half of these positions will be newsroom jobs. The L.A. Times is owned by the Tribune Co., who also own the Chicago Tribune. They have a recent plan to go private. Maybe they should do like the NY Post and double their newsstand price?
