Ze Frank Leaves Revver for Blip
Videoblogger Ze Frank, who’s being treated like a rockstar by the geeks here at South by Southwest, is now hosting his videos with Blip.tv rather than Revver. Here’s the latest show, from Friday, in the Blip player as it is now embedded on Frank’s site.
The switch came within the last few days — I distinctly remember seeing Revver’s post-roll ads when I last watched The Show on Wednesday — but it looks like Frank’s redone his entire archives to be on Blip. Frank has long discouraged his fans from posting his show to other sites, such as YouTube, so this is a pretty big shift.
It’s interesting timing, considering Frank has said his show won’t continue after March 17, which is only six days away. We’re scheduled to meet up with both Frank and Blip CEO Mike Hudack later tonight, so we’ll keep you posted.
