Bebo may have signed up to Google’s OpenSocial widget platform, but it’s trying to carve out the media platform space for itself. Today it’s launching Open Media, a system letting content owners publish videos from their shows using their own players and advertising, from which they keep all ad revenue. Launch content comes from CBS, MTV Networks, ESPN, BBC, Channel 4, ITN, Yahoo, BSkyB, Music Nation, Next New Networks, Crackle, Ustream, Last.fm and JibJab. The platform lets users become “fans” of series in the same way they add individuals as friends; shows also get blogs, reviews, forums and polls on a custom-branded, “channel profile” page. Users can send videos to friends. It’s a significant upscale of the strategic direction of the UK and Ireland’s top social net in to a media destination.http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-bebo-launches-open-media-platform-for-social-viewing-22-tv-partners/
