Revision3 now on YouTube

03:35 PM PT, Jul 8 2008

You can watch Diggnation on iTunes, Viddler and Revision3's own website. Now the world's largest video site can be added to that list.

In an effort that is sure to net the online video distributor of tech-savvy shows like iFanboy and the Totally Rad Show more exposure, Revision3's lineup can now be watched on YouTube.

The company's YouTube channel hosts more than 600 videos from 21 shows, and more are being added, including videos for canceled shows, according to a Digg posting by Tyler Howarth, an intern at the company.

The run time for a Revision3 show aren't set in stone. Some total anywhere from a couple of minutes for an iFanboy Mini brief or up to an hour for some Diggnation episodes -- often the ones when hosts Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht get a little too sauced to stay on topic.

Now that YouTube has become more flexible with its 10-minute limit for videos, it has the potential to satisfy more than those looking for quick-fix clips, catering to indie filmmakers and now full-episode Web shows.

The Revision3 channel already has more than 600 subscribers. One video that was uploaded Monday (above) has about 2,000 hits, and Diggnation's many hours of shows have already been watched hundreds of times.

We'll have to wait to see if YouTube has any significant effect on the company's already impressive 4.2-million-per-month download average. But if a video of a baby laughing for nearly two minutes can get 54 million hits, my guess is Revision3 has a pretty good shot.
