Video Interview With Dina Kaplan, COO blip.tv

blip.tvToday I spent some time at the blip.tv headquarters in NYC. I had an opportunity to interview co-founder and COO Dina Kaplan. Dina gets online video. Check out our discussion in the video below where we discuss a variety of topics including:

  • What is blip.tv
  • Who is using blip.tv
  • blip.tv video stats (they haven’t shared stats yet but Dina did say they are hosting "thousands and thousands and thousands" of shows
  • Discussion of the "total potential audience"
  • How many shows are actually generating revenue and turning a profit
  • Can an indie show generate revenue or are most advertisers going to the broadcast shows like Lost or 24
  • Comparisons to other video sharing services incluing Viddler, Vimeo and Brightcove
  • Why should I switch from my current video host to blip.tv
  • How does blip.tv generate revenue
  • Video host exclusivity versus placing the video show content everywhere and anywhere using a service like Tubemogul
  • Support for FriendFeed
  • Does Dina see a time when video hosting networks like yourself will pay talent a fee to come to their network exclusively
  • Where’s online video going over the next year
  • What shows are Dina’s favorites

    Great video Allen! Dina always does a great job and think Blip has a great product.

    The one thing I have to argue with is, that they are not going after content creators. No content capture?

    They are not like Veoh, where they cold call people, but not asking people to join blip period? I would have to argue otherwise.

    Rob
