eefoof.com — This new site is like YouTube (and ImageShack, AlbinoBlackSheep, Google Video) etc, except we share ad revenue with content submitters. So if you upload a video and it's real popular, you'll be getting monthly kickbacks on the ad revenue the site makes. Could this be the new trend in user-submitted content sites?

I tried four times to upload a video with no success. Pretty weak.

I already imagine some guys becoming expert in making profit with such things. Go to school instead maybe, because such aggressive use of ads may disappear in a near future.

To be totally honest, this is just someones attempt at making money using the rush of the social web. I'm sure they have every intention of paying the people that submit content, but the specifics are left unknown and much to be desired. You have to realize as well, that site has no obligation to anyone that posts content, because once they are hosting it, all proceeds from advertising are there's. The user who submitted said content gave up his/her rights for any royalties or money when they posted it on the site. Now the site explicitly says they don't control the content, and that users can post their content anywhere they choose outside of the site, but if you were trying to make money from something you made, why would you compete with yourself by posting it on another site that is going to be more popular?I like the concept, but its one of those, surf and make money, click ads and make money, watch porn and make money schemes. The only person making money is the person who runs the site and signed up with the advertisers. Good luck, to anyone that wishes to partake.

I'm amazed by this post & comments because I can't believe people STILL DON'T REALIZE that they don't have to shrae their videos for FREE. Revver.com pioneered this, and Eefoof is another player. This won't kill YouTube in the short run, because most of these pay-for-content sites have a *TINY* fraction of the traffic of YouTube, Google Video, etc. But in the long run, revenue for amateurs will create a site with better material. Which will bring eyeballs and advertisers. For more, check out my blog (I've been tracking this space for a few months): www.willvideoforfood.com

Google Video already allows payment for uploaded videos. What makes eefoof different is they allow uploading of flash animations (at flash quality, not converted to 320x240 video quality.)

I don't think they have to spam it with multiple user names. 400+ user names?
