DALLAS--Aug. 9, 2000
Clipscom, Inc., an Internet video-on-demand company, has
announced an alliance with BarterItOnline.com, an e-marketplace
where entrepreneurs and businesses barter products, skills, and
services using a common, 'e-dollar' currency. BarterItOnline.com
will offer Clipscom's streaming video services to its customers.
Through its alliance with Clipscom, BarterItOnline.com is making
it simple and affordable for its customers to use streaming
video to exchange products and services. Whether it is office
furniture or real estate or professional skills in its
"Barter Talent" program, BarterItOnline customers can
add powerful video clips to enhance the way potential customers
make buying decisions about the products or services from which
they have to choose.
"We are trying to take online bartering sites to the
next level, and with the ability to move far beyond conventional
simple listings of products, BarterItOnline starts to achieve
one of the great potential innovations of Internet e-commerce --
true interactivity. By supplying video-on-demand, we are giving
our buyers confidence in their purchasing decisions and sellers
the ability to position what they're selling in a completely new
and advanced way," said Richard Cravatts, CEO of
BarterItOnline. "With Clipscom's best-of-breed
technology, we are one step closer to redefining online
bartering sites."
Rather than using standard digital photos to display products
and services being bartered, users can now take any existing
video of their product or service and turn it into streaming
video for the Internet. Using the proprietary ClipsCorder
software, users can easily place and update video clips on
BarterItOnline.com, in e-mail messages, and even on their own
Web sites.
"With Clipscom, BarterItOnline.com's customers can add
more than just static photos of their products. Video will help
those customers sell their products. Clipscom makes adding video
easy and affordable for individual users," said Greg
Granello, CEO of Clipscom. "Anyone can display
videos inexpensively and without any technology burdens."
