Either this press release came out a bit early or Shani Belisle and I have a difference of opinion over the meaning of "launch." According to the release, Comcast is celebrating the launch of Ziddio.com, a site for users to submit videos for a chance to win prizes. Winners may also find their content available via Comcast's new Ziddio on-demand channel. The site's not actually live yet. When it does go live, users will be able to submit videos in a number of different categories. Ziddio will also feature periodic contests. For example, you can send in videos of your messy house and win a chance to be on The Style Network's Clean House. According to paidContent, Ziddio has partnerships with HBO, Cinemax, and Lucas Films as well, so there may be contests involving those networks in the future.
It isn't clear if the new Ziddio site is related to the rumored Comcast video download store that we reported on last month.
