Network review - AtomFilms

Introduction/About:
AtomFilms, a service from MTV Networks, has been around since 1998. Till 2007, AtomFilms only catered to independent creators who wanted to bring their work to a larger audience, and not to the online video sharing community. Post May 2007, a new section (AtomUploads) was added so that users could post and share their videos. Source: Atomfilms - About us
