Briefs: Ads Come to YouTube; AOL's Video Sharing/Hosting Service Changes Its Name; Maps: toptable Launches Top Location-based Restaurant Booking Site with Online Mapping Platform Service from deCarta

+ Google Launches YouTube Video Ads (via SeekingAlpha)

Not all videos are eligible for advertising at this stage. YouTube has chosen to work with established media partners, such as Warner Music, in the first wave. Twenty advertisers, including BMW, the car group, and MGM, the film studio, have tested the service.

YouTube is charging about $20 per 1,000 views, with the revenue split between the website and the provider of the content. The scheme will be available only in the United States at first, but an international deployment, including in Britain, is expected within months.
