Ziddio.com to rival YouTube.com

[Rockefeller]

Full story

PHILADELPHIA (AP)--Comcast Corp. (CMCSA, CMCSK) is planning to launch a video- uploading Web site similar to YouTube. But in a twist, videos submitted could end up being broadcast nationwide.

The Philadelphia cable operator is still testing the site, Ziddio.com, which is expected to be officially unveiled in late November or early December.

Details of the venture were disclosed in a press release issued Friday by a partner, Los Angeles-based Genex, and later withdrawn.

The site will hold contests, under predetermined themes, for the best video. Currently, it's offering prizes to users who submit the best videos showing why they should be part of the Jedi Order. Another contest wants videos of the messiest homes.

The best videos will be shown on Comcast's video-on-demand service. But in the messiest house contest, the winning video also would be shown on a special episode of "Clean House," which is part of the Comcast-owned Style Network.

Videos uploaded to Ziddio.com can be categorized into comedy, animation, games, movies, horror or sci-fi, action or drama, music, and reality.

Comcast will own and operate the site under its interactive media unit. Partners that helped develop the site were Genex and ThePlatform in Seattle.

I checked the .com typos.... ALL taken.

I guess it was good to take a few extensions seeing how youtube.it is going to give $32K to the registrant.
