BrightSpot.tv, a Internet television startup that promised to pay viewers when they watched advertisements, has shut its doors.
A notice on the site explains the situation:

Dear BrightSpot.tv Member

BrightSpot Media would like to thank all of our valued members for participating on BrightSpot.tv and taking advantage of the partnerships that we had established. We regret to inform you that as of Monday, November 19th, 2007, the BrightSpot.tv site will no longer be available.

Over the past 14 months, many of you have provided terrific feedback – what has worked well and what has not worked as well – all of which we will utilize as we develop the next iteration of BrightSpot.tv.

Again, than you all for your support.

Unless that feedback involved tips on getting more funding, it looks like BrightSpot.tv has gone dark.
