Louise Story of The New York Times has a story in today’s paper about a new form of video syndication from Google.
The company has expanded its Adsense program to include video from Google content partners including Dow Jones and CondeNet.
It’s a new kind of syndication model where ad revenue is shared by Google, the content developer and the site where the videos are placed. These videos aren’t ads, they are bona fide content from publishers. The clips, which appear in the Adsense box, have ads inserted into the video stream.
