Reuters launches video for blogs and online publishers

Reuters, the international news agency, is launching a pilot program today that will allow blogs, news organizations and other online publishers to show Reuters news video on their Web sites.

The video affiliate network program will enable Web site operators to place a video player on their Web site and show up to 20 of Reuters' breaking news stories from around the world that will be updated throughout each day.

Nice move Reuters. And now that there are over 1 billion broadband subscribers in the world these moves make total sense. Video is definitely the braoband killer app. And Reuters are saying that they're online strategy going forwards will centre on video. Makes sense.

It'll be interesting to see how many blogsites and websites sign up. Maybe we should. What do you all think?
