It's the Rocketboom Ad Festival on Beet.TV!....Veeker Finally Launches.....

Rocketboom has become so incredibly successful as a result of creativity and hard work. There 300,000 downloads of the show every day. It's astonishing how they come up with such interesting and diverse shows.  Last week they posted their 500th episode.

Well, those creative folks are putting wits into creating special advertising for  in the form of 60-second post roll spots.  We spoke with Rocketboom founder Andrew Baron a few days about about his approach to advertising -- and the revenue it is generating.   We really like these ads and have posted them on Beet.TV today.

MobileCrunch has an interesting look at Veeker, the San Francisco-based start-up that has been in stealth mode.  It's a cool new technology that enables mobile phones to be used as sort video "IM" devices.
