For the past several weeks, we have been uploading hundreds of our videos to CrunchBase, the TechCrunch database of the 6000 or more companies the influential tech blog follows. 

There is no financial arrangement here, and this is not an exclusive arrangement by any means, but it is an extremely valuable way to expand attention for for Beet.TV and we are delighted that Erick and Michael have invited us to upload.

Crunchbase
To see our videos on CrunchBase, check out the pages of MySpace, Google, The New York Times Company, EQAL, Kyte, Blip.tv, Brightcove, Blinkx, The Washington Post Company, MSNBC, CNN, VideoEgg and many others. 

Earlier this summer I interviewed TechCrunch co-editor Erick
Schonfeld about the value of video in telling the story and giving the
"pitch."  In July, TechCrunch launched a page to allow start-ups to upload 60 second video "pitches."  I have reposted the interview here.
