YouTube is looking to get more interactive with the newly announced acquisition of Omnisio.

Omnisio — a Silicon Valley startup that just publicly launched this past March — focuses on bringing Web 2.0-type concepts to the world of online video. It offers integrated options for sharing, adding comments directly within the video box, and even some basic producer power in its custom show-making feature. Other Omnisio innovations include syncing online video up with offline slides for a multi-platform, multimedia presentation and tagging people or highlighted points within any video you post.

Most functions and accounts have now been disabled on the Omnisio site, with a notice popping up asking you to visit YouTube for all services. Omnisio does say its current database of videos has been integrated there. The posting by Omnisio’s founders indicates they’ll be joining the Google/YouTube team post-merger, though it doesn’t specify in what kinds of roles.

    Ah, so this is where the ads are coming from. Boo!

    What do you mean ads?

    I wish I could find the video I saw it on, but there was an ad on the bottom of the video (it was for the new Mummy movie) - it was animated, exactly like the ads you see at the bottom of the screen on tv networks for like an upcoming show. It does have an option to close it, but it was irritating.

    check this vid, about 15 secs in (there''s a little yellow mark), there is an ad for mythbusters - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-3UkxGU5h4 - I assume this is for network content, not user submitted videos.. but still irritating. As for if this is related to Omnisio, it sounded similar, but could be unrelated.

    Thanks for pointing to that link. Those ads have nothing to do with Omnisio though. If you actually take a look at http://www.omnisio.com you will see what the company does.
