Revver 1.1 is live

Revver, one of the few sites on the Web that is in the media producer's corner, went to version 1.1 yesterday, including a redesigned home page and a slick new Advanced Widget Builder. It looks pretty hot. Says the Revverites: "The main goals of this release are to make it easier for you to find great videos on Revver and to give you more tools to share them. ... Revver is the first online video sharing network to put artists first and to share revenue 50/50 with video-makers. And we are the only network to share revenue with video-sharers as well."

Adds Revver's in-house video superstar, Micki Krimmel:

We had one of our favorite creators make a few promo videos for us. They're hilarious. So we're asking our users to upload those videos to YouTube and other video-sharing sites to help spread the word about Revver. ... Here's the blog post  outlining that campaign. The idea is that we're the good guys and we shouldn't be afraid to poach people from those other less creator-friendly sites.

Well put. Hope they get some viral mileage out of this.
