Comments on: Video site Revver shopping itself for a song

Revver, a video-sharing site that offered to share ad revenue with video creators, is trying to sell itself for a percentage of the money invested in the company.

This site deserves so much better,,,calling all bidders!

The reason they have a loyal producer base is because from the
beginning they have paid for content and believed rightly that they
should instead of staling it and making money off it!!! The other
sites started to pay, and reluctantly so, much much later and some
still do not...someone should by this site and donate it to a social
entrepreneur s=to build on for non profit fundraising or a
worthwhile endeavor and then the buyer can write off his or her
donation as a deduction!!!

Revver is more than just a video portal

contary to the info in this article, revver never intended to be a video portal site that competes with youtube and such... revver provides a complete white-label api that video producers can use to make their own websites from scratch... if you have a blog, revver developed a wordpress plugin that producers can use to embed revver video clips... this is a great company that treats its producers fairly.

Revver's Fate No Surprise..

As someone who is close to Revver employees, its no surprise that
this management team had no idea had to build an ad model, or
drive traffic. The focus on producers instead of revenue and traffic
was the obvious pitfall of the old and new management teams,
none of who should have been running the show in the first place.

BLAME IT ON REVVER'S LEGAL TEAM

That is right, Revver was a good idea.
But it was handled in quite a disastrous style
by a pair of lawyers Ken Hertz and Fred Goldring
I think their names are. I used to work there,
and these guys tried to be 'creative' and 'marketers' for the web, but ..like the lawyer
folks who killed the music biz...they don't have
that skill set ! They alienated everyone, and
now have to sell it at firesale for nothing,
at great loss to investors. What kind of smart
busniess sensese is that? Not very good mssrs
Goldring and Hertz ! THose guys are not very smart, and too bad for Revver and Steven Starr,
if only he had better judgement finding legal
partners than those bunch of clowns...ya know
