Why anyone would want to be tied to either platform is beyond me. Isn’t a white-label solution like Fliqz a better way to go?

Video Egg (and everyone else who sells online video overlays) should genuinely welcome Youtube into the industry and be glad that they are adopting the overlay unit. They are the only players who have the scale and the relationships to turn it into a standard, which is good for everyone who sells overlays.

I think it’s misleading that Videoegg claims to have “14 of the 20 top social networks” as a value proposition to advertisers. Their social ad network is so skewed; Bebo is 13-17 yr olds out of the UK. Hi5 is predominantly Portuguese. And Military.com?…that rules out the likes of Nestle, Apple, Unilever wanting to show ads on videos that depict tanks blowing up Iraqis. And trying to patent an”overlay” is like trying to patent the 468×60 banner.

Aren’t the documents referenced by the PTO link applications for patents and not granted patents? If so, it wouldn’t be a patent portfolio until approved and issued. Fly-over advertising is not new and existed well before VideoEgg or YouTube began business.

Cute. Well, they got you to link to them, which was part of the plan, I'm sure.
