Revver, Inc., the first marketplace for viral videos, is launching from beta with a comprehensive service for enabling viral video commerce online. By creating the first Viral Advertising Network (VAN), Revver connects people who watch, create, sponsor or share videos in the only marketplace for viral Internet videos that creates a win for every stakeholder. Its brand new Web interface will complement innovative new tools and services that further promote online video commerce and community.

Revver matches individual videos with advertising, encourages video sharing and then uses its proprietary technology to track videos as they are viewed across the Internet. By rewarding users with a percentage of the advertising revenue generated, Revver creates a virtual marketplace for online video. Now, new tools and services will empower people to share, track, advertise and make money from online videos more effectively than ever before.

"Revver is a next generation service for the online video market," said Steven Starr, Founder and CEO of Revver, Inc. "We embrace the viral power of the Internet to help people benefit from the popularity of videos no matter where they are viewed online. By leveraging the Internet as one big platform for commerce, Revver has created a real marketplace for this new medium."

Users who make or share videos through Revver will be able to utilize new tools that foster commerce and community. These news tools enable users to watch, organize and share content within the Revver community and the world. Revver will also expand its network to increase video views and the revenue opportunities for all its users.

Users can now:

    --  Create their own Web page, complete with individual URL, and
        populate it with their videos or other "Revverized" videos,
        using their own template or a 'skin' from Revver.

    --  Use the new Revver dashboard to:

        --  View valuable analytics, including how much money videos
            make over time

        --  Send and receive messages from other Revver users

        --  Publish their own Web pages

        --  Create collections to track and organize their favorite
            videos

    --  Add a "widget" or video strip to their own Web site which will
        automatically feed Revver videos based on preferences they
        chose.
