"Hollywood-based Revver, whose site is still in its beta version, developed its system for sharing ad revenue to capitalize on the sizzling growth of online video sharing.. Revver works by tracking advertising click-throughs as a video file is viewed on its site or shared across the Internet on Web pages, blogs, peer-to-peer sites and social networking sites, said Steven Starr, Revver's founder and CEO.

"There's a lot of video on the Internet that is shared for fun and for free," Starr said. "There never has been a way for the content owners to monetize their content in that environment. We're hoping that people will take advantage of placing content on the network with a small bit of advertising associated with it."
