Do you want to make money with YouTube? Well they have made it easier for non partners to do so. If you have viral video that YouTube like they could offer you revenue sharing. This means they will share some of the revenue they make from adverts they put on your videos.

YouTube are also messing with the idea of making storyboards available. This will allow collaboration between people when making videos.

Heard of Crackle yet? You will do. Crackle is part of the Sony group and the ones behind the full length Ghostbusters film on YouTube. At present these full film are available for residents of the U.S. Maybe in the future they will open this up to non U.S. residents.

Lastly I have started a new review channel called ReviewsFromTheShed. It will specialise in LiveReviews where you the public can take part by asking questions about the product as I review it. Stay tuned.

Starting late September I will be doing LiveReviews on LiveStream. What this means is you, the viewing public, will be able to ask questions about the product live. If you are interested in seeing the LiveReviews please subscribe to the RSS or Email feed to be kept up to date.

Photo by HeckMeckThe first LiveReview will be on the Optimus Maximus keyboard from Art. Lebedev Studio. It is probably one of the most advanced keyboards on the planet and you will not want to miss this review. The Optimus Maximus keyboard features 113 individual OLED screens, which means you can have ANY layout you want. Each key can be customised to display exactly what you want it too. So if you are a video editor you can have all your editing buttons easily accessible or if you are a hardcore gamer you can program the keyboard with all the buttons you need.
