BlogWorld: Video Service Viddler; Leo Laporte Discusses CPM Rates

There were two interesting things–among many–that I learned from attending Leo Laporte and Justine Ezarik’s session at BlogWorld.

First, from Justine, I discovered a new video player from Viddler that has the cool feature of allowing you to tag and comment on segments of a video.

Second, Leo is getting $35 CPM from advertisers because they know his audience buys whatever he recommends.

Hmm, if there was only a way to bring both these items together…

    I learned that Justine is really cute.

    But seriously, I’m intrigued by viddler. I’d hate to be them, sitting in the shadow of youtube and about 100 smaller video services, but I do think they have a good addition to the space. My guess, if it gets popular, they get bought.

    That Viddler service looks really cool. I can remember seeing another service like this but can’te remember what it was called. Looks nice though.

    @advice - yeah - tough market. Probably will get bought out.

    The first one is gettable though, while the second is a bit tougher.

    [...] their advertising? I wasn’t. And Leo Laporte knows this — he said at Blogworld that he gets $35 CPM from advertisers because…(drum roll please)…they know his audience buys what he recommends. Why? Because [...]

    i agree with you regarding Viddler.
    Viddler - it’s a good service, and there are many other similar services availabe now,
    but i personally perfers verticals such as sutree (http://www.sutree.com)
    since you cannot expect one site to hold the entire human knowledge
