Along side the growing video industry, it’s interesting to see what supporting video platforms and services are growing and fast — such as real time exchanges such as Adap.tv, or syndication platforms like CineSports, 5min, NDN and video recommendation & distribution companies such as Taboola that can now celebrate that they own the first result on Google for “Video Recommendation.” (Congratulations Taboola)

VIEQUES, PR – Taboola, the New York/Tel Aviv-based video recommendation engine used by several top news publishers including Bloomberg, CNN and the New York Times to drive video clip consumption, has entered into an agreement with live video news portal Livestation to drive recommendations of live news video on the Web, says Adam Singolda, CEO of Taboola in this interview with Beet.TV

As demand for display advertising rates remains soft, rates for pre-roll video ads are up by 18 percent.  Despite the rise in rates, publishers are finding it difficult to provide enough inventory to meet the surging demand, says Michael Lombardi, director of business development for Taboola.

Taboola, the New York/Tel Aviv-based video discovery and distribution company, has expanded its customer base from newspapers and wire services to some big magazine publishers including Rodale Press, Bonnier and the trade publication The Hollywood Reporter, says Michael Lombardi, Senior Director of Business Development, in this video interview with Beet.TV

Video discovery startup Taboola has been growing fast, adding top publishing partners like BusinessWeek and The Washington Post, as well as expanding into the live streaming video vertical. Those new partners have helped drive growth for Taboola, which now reaches more than 100 million uniques a month.

Video recommendations provider Taboola is offering a new product to its customers that will allow them to boost viewership with paid placement in its recommended video widgets. The company has also found some success internationally, as it is being used for recommendations on some highly ranked sites in Brazil, Israel, Mexico and Poland.

MONACO  — The emerging opportunities around video recommendation, syndication, advertising, and the  new platforms for distribution, were among the topics discussed at the Monaco Media Forum on November 10 by this outstanding group of industry leaders.
