Revision3 Strengthens Blip.tv's Roster With Syndication Deal

Here’s a video match made for the Web. Revision3, the video playground of Digg founders Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson, is teaming up with Blip.tv to syndicate all of its shows. That includes Diggnation (shown above with hosts Alex Albrecht and Rose), the GigaOm Show, Web Drifter, and Tekzilla. Some of these shows are already popular, especially Diggnation. And they are distributed in many ways—through Revision3″s Website, through iTunes, as embedded videos. By signing this deal, Revsion3 expands its reach to Blip.tv’s audience.

Blip.tv has done a good job of finding and highlighting the best original Web video shows, including Wallstrip, Alive in Baghdad, Rocketboom, and (back in the day) The Show with Ze Frank. So Revison3 will be in good company. Blip.tv sells advertising against the videos and splits the revenues with the producers, so it is incremental revenue for Revsion3.
