New Media Minute: Online Video Looks Suspiciously like TV
Online video ad management firm Freewheel has found that the number of ads that run in the middle of online video shows has increased by 8 times from the start of the year. This is the latest evidence that Internet TV is going to be chock full of commercials, just like regular TV. Also, this week’s New Media Minute includes details on why the Digitalsmiths acquisition of Gotuit could potentially power recommendations for the likes of an Amazon or Netflix.
