Revver, the service that turns your homemade videos into commercial items, has just gone out of beta and into 1.0. Revver lets you upload your videos — like the infamous Mentos/Diet Coke fountains — and then distributes them with advertising rolls afterwards, splitting the money with you.
Revver's got a great toolsuite for creators and viewers, and to my eye, the videos look better than YouTube's or Google Videos, and a great collection of social gizmos to help you find the best stuff on the site. The extensive API invites you to remix the site to your heart's content — unsurprising, given that one of Revver's founders is Ian Clarke, the co-creator of Freenet.
With the 1.0 launch, Revver substantially updates the creator tools, API support, and adds a Flash player and playlists. They've also ironed out a lot of bugs and added a ton of fit-and-finish to the service. This is good stuff.
