Google's Official Video Blog Declares Beet.TV is 'Shaking Things Up' - and Bestows Five Star Rating

TypePad and Media Survey Also Give Kudos to New Vlog

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Google's Official Video Blog profiled the work of Beet.TV and provided a sample clip along with a five star rating.

The Google Video Blog celebrates the "creativity" of its many contributors who upload video. Beet.TV uses Google as a tool to upload and publish video.

According to the Google citation:

"Beet.TV, the self-styled 'root of the media revolution,' is shaking things up. With all that's changing in the world of online media, you can count on beet to be covering it."

Beet.TV covers online video, social networking and their implications for society and business. Launched in late March, it is published daily by Plesser Holland, a boutique public relations firm with offices in New York and Washington, D.C.

It is among the very first "business-to-business" video blogs -- meaning a video blog that covers only a particular industry sector. The publisher is also creating video blogs for other companies and institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Fordham University.

Last month, Beet.TV was honored as "site of the day" by TypePad, the software company that hosts Beet.TV and millions of other blogs.

Another industry accolade came earlier this week in a profile in Sam Whitemore's Media Survey, an essential tech public relations resource:

"Would you bookmark a web site that, in recent weeks, offered bite-sized video interviews with Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, Rocketboom co-founder Andrew Baron, analysts Charlene Li and Esther Dyson, and journalists Steven Levy, Dan Farber, David Carr, Tom Foremski, Rafat Ali, Mary Jo Foley, Larry Walsh, Len Apcar and Patrick Houston?

"Of course you would, which is why you should check out Beet.tv, a video blog produced by a nice guy named Andy Plesser. A former San Francisco rock concert promoter and CBS-TV associate producer, Plesser by day is a principal at Plesser Holland Associates, a Manhattan-based PR firm specializing in representing media brands (CNET Networks, Salon and PR Week among them). His agency also represents non-media clients, such as ING Direct."
