ericmortensen: rocketboomdev: In today’s age, we don’t judge books by their covers. We judge them by their thumbnails. We also judge videos, e-books, software, and people the same way. Engaging an audience demands engaging them visually, no matter the medium. Some of our peers in the online video community recently noted that Tumblr allows the display of thumbnails for YouTube embeds on their dashboard, but other popular video sites, such as Vimeo and Blip.tv, are currently left out from showcasing their user videos with a thumbnail image. Rocketboom R&D, the development unit of the Rocketboom network, has created a simple solution: a browser add-on that allows Tumblr users to see any video’s known thumbnail in their Tumblr dashboard. There’s no platform favoritism; this enables nearly every other common video platform the ability for thumbnail display. The add-on was created using Mag.ma, our own video aggregation service, to do thumbnail lookups for numerous video platforms with our simple API methods. The results? Uniformity for Tumblr users and creative support for content creators. Get your browser add-on for Firefox, Chrome, or Safari, and visit the Tumblr Video Thumbnails add-on page for information, installation help, and more. Special thanks to our friends at Vimeo, Blip.tv, and Wreck & Salvage for their testing and support. Yay!  Big thanks to Greg, Andrea and the rest of the RB crew!  Please reblog this like mad so everyone can have a better Tumblr experience. Really, really awesome. Great work, y’all!

Josh Owens of Webpulp.tv kindly asked me to do an interview about blip.tv and the serving technology behind it.

Thanks Josh!

(Unfortunately, my voice is deep enough that the ambient noise reduction in my Macbook was filtering it out a little bit at parts, which is why the audio on my side fades out at parts.)
