Blip.tv is a service that provides “services of scale” to independent Web show creators. The site provides almost everything show creators need including free hosting, support for a variety of video formats, distribution to most of the video Internet (YouTube, iTunes, AOL Video, MSN Video, Vimeo, etc.) and to television (FiOS VOD, TiVo, Sony Bravia, Roku, etc.). Blip sells advertising with a 50/50 revenue share to creators.
Blip.tv is trying to focus on “episodic content” or “shows” instead of viral video found on the likes of YouTube. Examples include Rocketboom, Wallstrip, TreeHugger TV, Alive in Baghdad, and Goodnight Burbank.
The company’s founders were originally building knowledge-management software when they realized the need for an all-in-one videoblogging solution.
