Blip.tv says it’s thriving on CNN deal
Cory Bergman August 13th, 2006
Blip.tv is powering CNN.com’s new citizen journalism section, CNN Exchange. “We are at the point now where we are turning away business,” said Blip Networks CEO, Mike Hudack. Meanwhile, SVP of CNN U.S. Susan Bunda says Exchange will play an important role in covering the world. “I think the world is so much more tech-savvy, and I wish we would have started this yesterday.”

So the back end system that collects the information, might be great, but we (users) can’t see it.
All we see is a poorly designed front end to collect the materials. And the same stale formats to present back their limited selection of “approved” UGC.
Maybe CNN sees more value in this for the TV channels, but it would be nice to see something of value on the Web. There are plenty of social networking models out there to inspire a great front end presentation. CNN’s presentation (and even the name i-report) are straight out of 1997.

so is the line “we are turning away business”.
maybe that’s more 1998 though.
