You know how the big three networks are all over Hulu and YouTube about copyright and how they fear/need the internet to survive?  Blip.tv is what they fear.  Today, Blip announced some big changes that are going to mean something to anyone with a TiVo, has Verizon FIOS, or a Sony TV with Ethernet jack.

Blip frontman Mike Hudack, announced on the Blip.tv blog

” We’ve designed something new for this economy of plenty. We’ve designed a next-generation television network.”

What is Blip.tv exactly?  The company basically runs a hosting service, workflow automation and an ad match-making service that matches up both large and small producers with advertisers allowing highly targeted advertisements.  The company takes a cut in ad revenue.  It is just that simple.

The news today is adding partners like TiVo, FIOS, and connected Sony TVs means a larger audience.  The company holds soon the TV viewing we consume will be made by those with talent, not those who were able to “get a meeting.”  Blip.tv’s plan is any content on any device and it is starting to gather steam.  Blip.tv counts as its friends: YouTube, NBC, Sony, Roku, TubeMogul, Vimeo, TiVo, Boxee, AOL, MSN, Facebook, Miro, Apple, Twitter, and Verizon.  Good company to keep.

Interestingly, also announced was NBC local service who will be broadcast on Blip.tv to get on boxes like Vimeo and Roku.  How is that for some new age thinking?  This is one company to check out and watch.  No pun intended.
