Here are some informative links I came across the last days, this time with some more details :-)

TFC Tidbit of the Day 11 - Ad Supported Platforms
Platforms such as YouTube, Snag Film and Babelgum are all based on ad-supported revenue (though we recommend using it to drive transactional and for PR). Hulu was ad-supported but has moved into a subscription model. YouTube is the SECOND LARGEST search engine in the world with 2 billion views per day and is monetizing over a billion views per week globally.
Hope you had an awesome week! Have fun with this weeks links:

TFC Tidbit of the Day 6 - Windows for digital content
Windows are a reference to release windows, the prescribed time gaps between which films are released in different media. Make windowing deliberate rather than confusing the customer with scattered pricing in different formats and releases.
The preferred release schedule should be: Cable & Satellite VOD; then Transactional; then Rental; then Ad-Supported platforms; then Mobile/Wireless. In the next tidbits, there will be examples of each of these platforms.
Jon Reiss is taking a break from his Tip of the Day series for a little while, but meanwhile we have something new for you: Orly Ravid, one of the founders of The Film Collaborative, has written a digital distribution guide, available on their site.
