Web-based applications provider Eyespot today is launching a suite of video hosting and monetization tools for mid-market and long-tail publishers with a self-serve offering for integrating video into
any Web site.
Until now, Eyespot has focused on creating video personalization tools for customers like Lucasfilm, SonyBMG Entertainment and, Fox Interactive Media. Eyespot's new
personalization suite includes hosted applications for consumers to view, upload and share videos online and via mobile, all from a publisher's own Web site, along with personalization features to mix
user-generated content and a library of more than 1,000,000 rights-cleared videos, music and photos.
The startup also allows monetization of in-stream ads through partnerships with Google
AdSense for Video, Tremor Media, adap.tv and others.
