YouTube recently announced that they are now offering select partners the ability to incorporate “InVideo” overlay ads into their content. The transparent, animated ads appear on the bottom 20% of the screen at set points in the video and are generally perceived to be a less intrusive form of advertising than “preroll ads” — which are the video clips a user is forced to watch before watching the main content.

In a move to make friends with vloggers, Sony has recently announced their latest camcorder, the Net-sharing CAM , designed specifially with video bloggers in mind.

While it’s not surprising that compared to older segments of the population, young adults (18-29) are more likely to watch, upload, rate and comment on online videos, what comes as a surprise is that they are also more likely to pay for online video.

According to eMarketer.com, the amount of money spent on internet video advertising in the U.S. alone will grow by more than 550% in the next four years. The current amount spent on video advertising is $775 million. The amount projected for 2011 is $4.3 billion.

Not only can you upload to multi-sites, you can track how your videos are doing on all of those site. You can seperate out single sites, single videos, lump everything together, or compare one video to another. You can then export all this data and save it. It truly does look like a stat-freak’s dream.
