If you are the self-proclaimed future Steven Spielberg, Rupert Murdoch or Larry Page, you really ought to put your money where your mouth is on VideoIPO. Well, for good measure, you’ll use fake money, since that whole Steven Spielberg thing might not work out exactly as you planned.
In reality, VideoIPO is a place where you can safely place bets or falsely invest on videos taken from all places over the net. The site promises that you will learn to invest, forecast and budget your money wisely all while watching seriously awesome videos. Could life get any sweeter?
VideoIPO.tv In Their Own Words
Don’t just watch video – do more at the VideoIPO Stock Exchange. Ever dream of earning millions of dollars like those traders on Wallstreet? Or maybe you dreamed of investing your money in the stock market and seeing it double in size? Well most of us have these dreams but the reality is investing is scary business. Most people have no training. And if you invest and are wrong – you can really lose. Know anyone who lost money during the dot.com bust?
Well the VideoIPO Stock Exchange is designed to combine entertainment and learning to give you an exciting interactive experience, while also making players more knowledgeable investors and money managers. By playing this game, you will learn about budgeting, forecasting, and stock market investing – but not in a classroom.

Why VideoIPO.tv It Might Be A Killer
Like many sites out there which allow you to perform mock investments, this one seems to take a different approach. Videos being among the most highly downloaded all over the net, with new video sharing and aggregating services popping up every couple of seconds, I assume it’s an excellent avenue in which to learn how to be a wise investor. Though, I’ll place my bets that future investors and money managers won’t be the only ones using this service. More than this, bloggers, youtube-addicts, and the rest will likely find this an excellent way to have fun and “learn” while procrastinating.
Some Questions About VideoIPO.tv
Looks like the stock is valued based upon the number of views a video has built up by 5 pm on Dec 27th, 2007. This being a hugely long period of time, and as videos are watched, loved, and shunned before breakfast, will this put off users?
