Social Networking news and information

In an effort to stand out from YouTube, Grouper, Vimeo and Blip, Break is saying that it will pay a $400 payment to any video that makes it to the homepage.  At least that's what appears to be the determining factor for payment.

Animated shorts will be paid up to $2K.  They claim to have paid out $300K to date. 

While this won't be something most vidcasters/vloggers are interested in, the next person to stumble upon great viral video (think the Tripod video below) might appreciate the $400 smackers for nothing more than uploading.
