THE WELL-KNOWN GET IN ON THE NET ACTION

Several celebrities, from Rosie O’Donnell to Oprah Winfrey, have embraced the Internet with personal success. And a handful have taken it a step beyond, launching general video websites that feature content from many sources. Among them:

FunnyOrDie.com, cofounded by actor Will Ferrell, writer/director Adam McKay and writer Chris Henchy.

Channelme.tv, in which talk show host Carson Daly is a partner, provides tools for people to create video-centric social networking pages.

DanceJam.com, co-founded by MC Hammer, is slated to launch this month with dance videos.

MyDamnChannel.com, a website for “artists to co-produce, distribute and monetize original, episodic video content,” according to the site, boasts channel providers including actor/writer Harry Shearer, actor/comedian David Wain and musician/record producer Don Was.
