Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) April 9, 2008 -- StartYourTube.com (www.startyourtube.com) has taken the next step in the evolution of video sharing and social networking. StartYourTube.com is giving users full ownership and control of their own custom video and blog sites along with 100 percent control of advertising and revenue.

StartYourTube.com unveiled this user generated content platform today at the Always On VC event in Boston. It allows users to take back ownership of their content by creating and managing video sites with their own personal domain name. Users choose colors, a domain name and add logos before uploading videos and inviting friends. Users choose any sub domain (i.e. a site about snowboarding could be: Snowboarders.StartYourTube.com) or they can use a domain name they own (i.e. SnowboardersTube.com). StartYourTube.com is a search engine friendly web-based application that requires no programming experience.

"StartYourTube.com allows users to gain total control of the video sharing space from the look and feel to advertising and revenue," notes Jean-Phillipe Gousse, StartYourTube.com CEO. "Users can now organize the video sharing space and blogosphere into niche categories totally controlled by them and their networks. They also control 100 percent of the advertising on their site. The platform is 100% scalable for size, user activity and bandwidth. It offers search, video and blog sharing, rating, ranking and playlist functionalities."

Video sharing and blogs are playing an ever-increasing role in user interactions online. Emarketer.com predicts online advertising income from content sharing and blog websites will surpass the 8 billion dollar mark by 2011. StartYourTube.com allows individuals to earn their rightful piece of that pie.
