Blip'd Internet Video Breakthrough

Blip’d is a new form of online media display, designed to benefit everyone posting video online. The Blip’d Media Format (BMF) provides user controlled monetization and measurement capabilities directly within Flash Internet Video.




Ahhh...music to my ears!

It replaces your existing embedded players with a new flash file that wraps around existing video hosted at many popular video sharing sites. Blip’d extends your viewer's engagement with additional media and marketing content you add as a transparent overlay to your Flash file; however, it is detached from the video stream itself.

As an independent video producer, now you can now place marketing or any other content within any video you produce. Instead of placing hypervideo links over the video as you currently do to direct traffic to your site, viewers can buy directly through your widgets, that are associated with the video’s content before, during or after watching the video. You can use any hosted image, widget or video to build your media overlay, which remains detached from your video file.

Viewers simply move their mouse to hit the play button. When the mouse is over the video screen, a thumbnail of attached media is briefly displayed for about 5 seconds. The viewer can immediately ignore the media thumbnail, called a “blip” and hit the play button on the host video player’s menu without delay. Moving the mouse away from the video screen makes the blip disappear like it never even happened.





BMF creates a whole new experience, giving you the only non-disruptive user controlled social media format at present. Also, Blipd.com is not a destination site. You use it to set up and manage your video overlays. As a member, you are given a user profile that automatically stores the embed codes of all of your blip’d videos. Even if you change video hosts, the embed code remains the same.

The Blip’d Media Format extends online video with a human powered social media marketplace that measures distribution and viewer engagement. It promises to be a scalable monetization, syndication, measurement, and broadcast service to any flash hosted video, supporting your the growth of independent video producers like us.
