TV on Bebo

Bebo may have signed up to Google’s (NSDQ: GOOG) OpenSocial widget platform, but it’s trying to carve out the media platform space for itself.

It has launched Open Media, a system letting content owners publish videos from their shows using their own players and advertising, from which they keep all ad revenue.

It’s a significant move of strategic-direction for the UK’s top social network; to a media destination. Bebo has already embarked on original content production through LonelyGirl15 spin-off KateModern, Sofia’s Diary and now The Gap Year.
