YouTube and others roll out Vevo, premium music video website
YouTube and UMG first announced plans for Vevo in April, and the site has since gained other labels and partners including Sony Music Entertainment, EMI, AT&T, and Abu Dhabi Media Company, who contributed a reported $300 million to the project. CBS Interactive climbed aboard earlier this month, bringing with it Last.fm and more than 90 CBS Radio music stations, which should be available next year.
The collaborators envision Vevo as a premium music video hub, where users can create and share playlists and more. Instead of simply distributing music videos, Vevo intends to help "sell" artists with profile pages featuring interviews and other promotional content. You can login to the service here, and share your impressions in the comments.

The sign up page is giving me a "page not found" error. Maybe too many people signing up, overloading the system? :P |

Same here: I can get to the home page but the signup page isn't happening. |

Yeah, I have seen reports around the Web that they are having launch troubles. Hopefully things are smoothed out soon. |

Sounds like it will be pretty cool, if they can keep porn off of it. |

hello ... would be great to find such online services that's for international .... i did find one who charged me 30US$ behind my back, for i didn't cancel a trial period & yet i didn't use the service for wasn't as good. I tried the pause & let buffer trick several times but still the video was jerky. I can use Youtube, but i would really appreciate to have some other VOD services that has a player that allows buffering like on GT/Youtube & such. well like you said, the net stops at NA & others well they just doesn't exist! cheers! |

I see the login is working today. You have the option of using another account to login, so I tried that and before I login my other account comes up with a warning stating that it can't verify the site and I shouldn't really trust it but if I wan to continue I can. I guess this is all part of growning pains. |
