Back in September 2007, I emailed the CEO and CTO of Blip.tv - the company whose amazing video player we use on our WatchMojo.com property to partner with Tubemogul- the company whose amazing analytics and syndication tool we use to distribute videos.
Here’s the email:

Subject: Syndication tool suggestion
To: Justin Day, Mike HudackI noticed you guys automatically syndicate to myspace, internet archive etc., which is really smart and useful.
But, you should look into tools like Tubemogul, I think these automatically add you to 6-10 other destinations like Veoh, Revver, Metacafe, etc. Could be a good add-on.

Eighteen months later, it’s materialized… so yes, it takes time, but this shows that Blip.tv and Tubemogul listen to the needs of their market.
The deals were signed almost twelve months ago, but the folks at Blip.tv have been working on implementation and QA… which is no surprise given how robust their platform is.
But it didn’t stop there: today Blip.tv announced a bunch of integrations with main players such as Freewheel, Roku, Verizon Fios, Sony, NBC and YouTube.
It’s these kind of deals that are cementing Freewheel, Blip.tv and Tubemogul (and of course YouTube) at the intersection of content, advertising and technology…
A couple of quotes: one from CEO Mike Hudack, “for the first time ever, talent and hard work are a greater determination of success than contacts”. Quite true. I also echo Tubemogul’s CEO Brett Wilson’s assertion that “Blip.tv is the best solution for web creators”.
This was my third time in the Blip.tv offices and as an entrepreneur, I guess the nicest compliment I can pay them is that they serve as a blueprint for many ambitious startups.
