Safari for the PC?

Although I’m not too sure of this, I think I can see where this is heading, and it’s hard to argue with Steve’s track record.

So get this. The video above is from a new service called The News Room. They gather up news highlights from various genres and mash them up into a video that you can easily embed into your website or blog. In fact it took me less than 3 minutes to not only sign up for the free account, but to also find a video I wanted to embed and then get the code.

They have a buttload of subjects to choose from. You will find the expected like World News, Finance,Entertainment, etc. But you can also get more specific. So say you want a sports video – they got hundreds. But say you want a Hockey video, they got them too.

So the killer part of all this besides the ease, variety and free-ness of it, is that they will PAY you for impressions. You earn a share of the advertising revenue each time mashed news is viewed on your site. TheNewsRoom has an innovative, viral payment model that can earn you up to $4 per thousand impressions . You’ll also earn money when someone mashes content from your site and it is viewed on theirs.

So go ahead and click – you’re contributing to my new iPhone. Better yet, go sign up for your own account.
