On Thursday CBS announced and unveiled a video distribution network that will allow users to share clips and full-length content for free. It’s true to say it will be a gravy train. Some of the well-known online video-sharing sites are the partners of the CBS. Among them are Brightcove, Joost, Veoh Networks, Sling Media, AOL, Microsoft and CNET Networks (publisher of News.com).

Here you are allowed to watch video clips, movies, full-length TV shows for free like CSI, Late Show with David Letterman, Survivor and CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.

“From a traditional media company’s perspective, the object is to put your content on as many next-generation platforms as you can,” said Quincy Smith, president of CBS Interactive. “I’d hope that all media companies work this way.”

The CBS agreement will allow Joost users to watch programming integrated with the site’s instant-messaging and other plug-in applications. CBS is also hoping to attract the largely international audience Joost will bring from its connection with Skype and Kazaa.

Comcast and TV.com (owned by CNET Networks) will also feature some CBS programming on their sites.

On conclusion, I would say this project is worth something.
