It was only yesterday that I was talking about using contextual adverts and google maps within online video as a more suitable advertising method that will provide revenue to smaller video producers. Now by using the Brightcove APIs one of Brightcove's publishing partners has developed an application that brings a "mashup of a video and time-based cue points marked in the video, synchronized dynamically to an embedded Google Map, and also to set of text links."To see it in action click here, it is a diving video with links to information on the sea creatures as they appear on screen and also a location map with Google video. A little imagination can see how this can be used to insert relevant advertising links.
