Online animation destination Aniboom (aniboom.com) has added five new major web-based video platforms to its growing network of branded internet channels. The company has struck partnerships with Dailymotion, Metacafe, Veoh Networks, blip.TV and blinkx, effectively bringing its animated content to an online audience of more than 140 million viewers.
‘Aniboom’s branded online channels are the true backbone of our business,’ says Aniboom founder and president Uri Shinar. ‘They allow us to deliver the original content coming out of our creators’ community to millions of viewers wherever they want to view it. They broaden our viewer community which also acts as our focus group, taking the guesswork out of creating new content for cross platform distribution. They also increase the potential revenue for Aniboom and our creators with more video advertising revenue sources.’
The expansion of Aniboom’s online network follows on the heels of the successful launch of the Aniboom-branded YouTube channel, which the company says has garnered more than 15 million views in its first eight months. Aniboom’s international community of independent cartoon creators will enjoy greater exposure with the new outlets.

Finally, video search engine blinkx has indexed more than 18 million hours of audio, video, viral and TV content, making it fully searchable and available on demand. The company has made more than 200 Aniboom independent short films easily accessible at www.blinkx.com
