#12How would you handle the case of longer videos, eg musicians who want to promote a new track?

#13As long as the content is authentic and high quality it seems like a win for marketers, publishers, and consumers. However, if the videos end up just being straight up commercials that the user has to sit through it's going super annoying. Is Virool vetting the quality of the content? What prevents marketers from just using commercials?
Concerns aside, I love the idea. Organic content distribution is super hard. For every video that goes viral, hundreds of thousands of videos of similar quality flop. Even ad agencies struggle with getting distribution for content, so this seems like a really useful tool that I would have loved to have had when I was working in the interactive agency world.

#14Hot damn. I love the in-context video ads instead of pre-rolls, so this could be a great solution for our needs.
Exactly. Pre-rolls and banners suck (since they are coming from traditional newspapers/web page/TV era), so we are building video ad network for developers so they can plug to our APIs and grab our videos to place them in their APPs(streams etc), facebook apps, mobile etc the way they want it.
You can check our API here: http://www.virool.com/blog/index.php/developers/

Be careful with your targeting and keywords - since many publishers use our real-time API they can deliver your campaigns very quickly. Shoot me email and I can look into your account and give you some tips and $10 credit.

We exhausted our $50 credit in minutes so probably doing something wrong - any tips appreciated :)
Very cool idea by the way! Congrats on the traction...
