bliptv:

Yuri Baranovsky is a pioneer. He created one of the first scripted Web shows. He was early. Too early. But he’s kept going at it, and he’s finding success. He’s a pioneer. That’s why it feels so good that he said so many nice things about us and our recent LA party.

My favorite part:

There’s a reason that over 400 people showed up to the Blip.tv launch party on Thursday. Because Blip.tv helped make this community. Blip.tv catered to creators. Blip.tv offered solace to those of us who saw the potential of this genre by pushing us to push ourselves to push that envelope to push this art where it needed to be pushed. Hell, Blip.tv is this community, and much like us, it started as a fledgling stubborn little company with a fledgling stubborn little dream and now, when web shows are starting to finally make some money, when quality is becoming King, when any TV, Film and Ad executive with an ounce of brain is trying to find out how the hell to get into this world — Blip.tv is expanding and opening an LA office. Blip.tv is this community — and when they’re doing well, it means we’re all doing well too.

Thank you, Yuri. We love you. We hope that we can keep it up, that we can keep serving this community, that we can keep improving as the community improves, that we can all build a spectacular industry and a spectacular business over the next several years. It’s posts like these that keep us going.
