Playwire launches a free video player for indie publishers

When it comes to making Internet video, free is a pretty good price. Playwire is announcing today that it has created a free version of its video player for independent publishers who want to be self-sufficient.

The Deerfield Beach, Fla.-based company makes it simple for publishers and content creators to create online video and monetize it without incurring a lot of costs. It sells services related to its HTML5 video player and monetization platform. But Jayson Dubin, chief executive of Playwire, said in an interview with VentureBeat that the company wanted to provide an option that would allow video players to try out its platform at no cost.
