Scoble talks with Blipsnips

John Bliss and Greg Keller go under the Robert Scoble microscope in this interview about their startup Blipsnips.  The 2010 TechStars company allows anyone to link to specific moments in a video and share it via a direct link or embed.  The service currently works with YouTube and Vimeo videos.  With YouTube extending the maximum time for video uploads to 15-minutes (certain Youtube accounts can upload videos of any length) and Vimeo having no length limitations, this feature seems to be increasingly relevant.  This video is part of Robert Scoble's Building 43 project - check the site out for more videos like this one - http://www.building43.com/
