So the SplashCast player in my previous post is working now. The company officially launched today at the Demo conference. When the video starts, it says Courtesy of YouTube, which would give me the impression that YouTube has some kind of deal with them.

I wonder if YouTube gets a cut of any advertising delivered by SplashCast on a YouTube video. Here’s the TechCrunch take on SplashCast.
