K-I-S-S-I-N-G! Great news for both teams, Revision3 and Viddler have decided to team up — errr, Rev3 has decided to host all of their videos on Viddler’s system. See a tidbit from Colin’s latest post on the Viddler blog:

Each and every day more of your favorite videos, from vlogs to viral, are showing up here on Viddler. Today is no exception. Now more than ever, thanks to Revision3 and all of its shows joining Viddler, you can watch your favorite Web video shows in your favorite Web video player!

Please join me in welcoming DiggNation, The Digg Reel, Infected, The Revision3 Gazette, Tekzilla, my friend Om Malik’s GigaOm Show, PixelPerfect, iFanboy, SYSTM, Scam School, XLR8R, Web Drifter, and the Totally Rad Show to the Viddler community.

Not only is this great for Viddler (as any publicity is good publicity and this is surely great) but this also means a great new feature is rolled out (at least I think it’s new), Digg right in the Viddler videos. (Forgive me if it’s not but if it’s new to me, it’s new because it’s my blog and I said so.)


They’ve made it simple and easy to do. Just make sure you’ve submitted the link to Digg and then simply add a tag to your video that says “digg:URL-that-was-submitted-to-viddler” and you’re all set. Remember, make sure you have already posted it or you get something like this:

So go ahead, behold the beautiful new child that is Vidiggler and bask in its glory — or at least give it a whirl on your own videos.

What do you think of Viddler and Rev3 joining forces? Or better yet, what are your thoughts on Web2.0 companies joining forces in general?
