Spent some time on Jumpcut today. It’s a video-editing website, sort of Youtube-plus, and it made Time’s list of the 50 Coolest Websites. Also my cousin works there (the one who makes Opera-elitist comments on this blog) and he’s kind of awesome. Anyway, Jumpcut’s video editing capabilities are impressive, but the website itself is rife with boring home-video nonsense. How to get the crazies to migrate over from Youtube? I think the Jumpcut admins should start offering referrer incentives — i.e. give the popular video blogs a cut if they start using Jumpcut instead of Youtube hosting. How does Jumpcut make money anyway? I don’t see any ads.
