Blip.tv might not have anyone there who has a background in online advertising. I do think blip.tv is in a good position to be a "tool vendor". Providing the infrastructure for video bloggers and other Internet TV makers behind the scenes. This could include tools for online advertising too. But it's up to them if they want to take actions to add online advertising to the list of "services" they offer. -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. http://ChangeLog.ca/ Motorsport Videos http://TireBiterZ.com/ Vlog Razor...
