The first user generated video site to offer revenue share, Revver is a video sharing site. Revver was founded in 2004 before user generated video had even begun to take off. For months into its infancy Revver looked to be a viable alternative if not legitimate challenger to YouTube. Its 50/50 revenue share model landed some high profile content like Ask a Ninja, LonelyGirl15 and the Diet Coke and Mentos guys. Users were immediately enticed by the chance not only to be a web celebrity but to make some cash while they were at it. According to Compete.com, Revver page views are still growing, however, they hit appr. 1 million monthly while YouTube achieves close to 250 million. Competitors in the user generated video area include [Veoh](http://crunchbase.com/organization/veoh), [YouTube](http://crunchbase.com/organization/youtube), Sony owned [Crackle](http://crunchbase.com/organization/crackle), [DailyMotion](http://crunchbase.com/organization/dailymotion), [Metacafe](http://crunchbase.com/organization/metacafe), [iFilm](http://crunchbase.com/organization/ifilm) and others. Ian Clarke, original Revver Co-founder, now runs social news site [Thoof](http://crunchbase.com/organization/thoof).
