Blip.tv, the New York based video sharing and services company that publishes episodic Web video shows had 85 million video views in February, according to report by Will Richmond in VideoNuze.

Most of the the views (85%) are being monetized by pre-roll and overlay advertising from many national brands.

Here's Blip's announcement of the progress with traffic and ads.

Last summer,  I spoke with Blip co-founders Dina Kaplan and Mike Hudack about Blip and its appeal to advertisers.  We have republished the interview today.

Beet.TV uses Blip as our principal online video platform and we are grateful for all the support from Dina and Mike and the entire crew.  So pleased to see that they are doing well.
