Vidiac Networks. Appears to be a free home for video content for all-comers. How do they make enough money to cover the bandwidth then?
Vidiac is an Internet broadcast company that helps web site owners create video communities. We leverage our infrastructure and sponsorship relationships so that site owners can quickly create their own “Internet TV Channel”. Users create and upload the video content and site owners are given tools to moderate and manage their site’s content.
I read about this 2 weeks ago. It was called “OurMedia” then ;)

Wow, fascinating. They’re the same then? Same question applies though. How’re they paying for the bandwidth?
Actually it’s different from OurMedia.org. OurMedia is a content portal like AtomFilms or Shockwave.com where users can upload content. Vidiac allows Web Site owners to add a video-content portal to their web site for free. Here are some examples of sites using Vidiac.

StreetFire Video

Cool stuff, Adam. But how’re they making money? Or shouldn’t I ask? :-)
Same as Google, Yahoo and the rest of the world, Advertising ;-)
Ah, missed that. Thanks. :-) Nice service then!
