Well I learned something new... For my day job I handle new media for a law school and one of my tasks has been to create 2 minute excerpts from the law school's vast library of television shows (that cover topics from health to politics to law to history) and post them on the web. I had been posting solely to youtube and clip syndicate and we do pretty well there, but last week I uploaded our whole library to blip... and what did I discover? Our posts are being picked up by google alerts!
As the point of our new media program is to establish the law school as a leader in multi- media education for the public on an international level this is very, very welcome news (and made me look pretty smart too!). In retrospect I can't help wondering why google alerts would not mine their own company, youtube, for content, but in any case, thanks again to blip for being such a fantastic platform for content creators.
