Numbers are everything. About half of my audience find and watch me via Youtube, they don't care about my blog website at all! And a big thing to consider also is how/if you are going to monetize the blog and how your audience will find you. Youtube/Adsense is the key here, and of course the more views you get on Youtube to more popular your channel gets and the higher it gets ranked and the earlier/easier you can become a partner. Not to mention the Adsense venue actually works. So Youtube is kind of self perpetuating in that respect, the more views, the more money and success. If you dilute your views by having a Blip.TV version on your site because it looks better, then you could be doing yourself a real disservice. Dave.
