Storify is it. Here’s a look at its new iPad app which is very awesome. Why is this important? Well, let’s look at the past 10 years. 2000 (about) Blogging with Blogger or Radio Userland. 2007 Twitter 2008 Facebook 2010 Tumblr 2011 Pinterest and Google+. What’s the trend? Storify is even easier than Pinterest, in quite a few ways. Anyway, this is being used by tons of news organizations around the world and the White House and even big influential conferences like the World Economic Forum. Good job Storify.

The Battle For $1 Billion: Viddy vs SocialCam Larry Page Outlines His Plan And Vision For Google Flixster Hits 20 Million App Downloads. Top Movie App On iPhone, Android, And BlackBerry It was almost exactly two years ago that Flixster bought one of the original popular movie apps for the iPhone from a college sophomore. Now, two years later, their Flixster iPhone app is the top movie application on the platform. It’s also the top movie app on the Android and BlackBerry platforms as well. All told, the app has just crossed a massive 20 million installs. What’s perhaps even more incredible is that among these users, 70% of them are active in the past 90 days. CEO Joe Greenstein credits the companies combination with popular movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes (which they acquired from News Corp. in January). “The combination of Flixster and RottenTomatoes has helped us pull away as the go-to application in the movie category – bringing together everything you need from critics, other users and your own friends to make the best decision about which movie to see,” Greenstein tells us. But Flixster isn’t sitting around content with their mobile success.

Industry Insiders Say Online Video Advertising Is Reaching A “Frenzy Point” With the flood, comes the feast. Advertising dollars are pouring into online video. Some of the largest online video ad networks are seeing revenue growth accelerating this quarter, and expect the fourth quarter to be even bigger. “Last year we grew 40%, this year we are growing 90%,” says Keith Richman, CEO of Break Media. Tremor Media, which is one of the largest video ad networks and second only to Hulu in the number of video ads it serves, is also seeing a doubling of ad revenues. TV advertising still dwarfs online video, with about $70 billion spent on there in the U.S. Relatively small shifts in advertising budgets from TV to online can create huge swings in growth for online video. eMarketer estimates that online video advertising will grow 48 percent in 2010, accelerating from 39 percent growth last year (which was a weak year compared to the 127 percent hypergrowth in 2008). Advertisers are becoming increasingly comfortable with putting their video ads online.
