Will Microsoft/Yahoo be a success and change google’s future? Or how does the deal affect smaller startups?

2008 President Election Videos

Posted by interactive videos digger on January 24, 2008

This probably will be the most discussed topic on the web or blogs this year 2008. Can you imagine how many videos on the web about Clinton, Obama, Giuliani, McCain, etc? How many times when you search Hillary Clinton on viddler or youtube and you end up seeing an unrelated video or Clinton only shows up in the middle of the video for just couple secs?

I have just noticed that Asterpix could help on this issue. Browse the search results of Hillary Clinton on Asterpix, and you could quickly scan through all different hotspots and videos about Clinton.

Also, with Asterpix API, for example now I could post a video of debates from the candidates, and could change my google ads or other web widgets based on which hotspots you are watching. That definitely adds a totally new dimension for online video marketing and provides more fine-grain direct control to advertisement, not just based on video tags like “debate clinton obama” and you have no clue where Clinton will show up.
