Blip.tv

Blip.tv is a service of video sharing design for the creators of user-generated content.

Founded in May 2005 by Mike Hudack (CEO), Dina Kaplan, Justin Day (CTO), Jared Klett, and Charles Hope, blip.tv was bootstrap funded by its founders for the first year of its operation.

As of July 29, 2007, Blip.tv was blocked by the Chinese Government, in an attempt to make the site unavailable to Chinese mainland users.

With a focus on serial web show programming to the exclusion of other types of online video, "the Blip.tv formula purposefully does not emulate the YouTube viral video sharing and friends and family video hosting model", according to ZDNet writer Donna Bogatin.

All revenue from advertising is split 50/50 between content producers and blip.tv. Users can opt in and out of advertisements at any time.
