Revver has paid video producers $1 million in 1 year
Today marks the 1 year anniversary since video sharing site Revver emerged from beta status. And by some remarkable coincidence, the site has also paid out exactly $1 million to content creators and distributors in that year.While we're certain they're fudging the numbers by just a whee bit (come on, they probably hit the $1 million mark weeks ago, or are going to in a few weeks), it's still a pretty nifty demonstration that user generated video can be profitable for web publishers and users alike.

And Revver is presenting Doogtoons creator Doug Bresler with an "honorary check" for the $1 millionth dollar.
