Thanks to Yonatan for being up much earlier then me and finding this rather interesting story.

Eyespot will now be offering one click publishing to Blip.tv and Veoh. Blip.tv is a video sharing site that, among its many features, allows you to blog mobile video and was chosen to provide the underlying technology for CNN’s user generated video section, CNN Exchange, launched last month. Veoh is another video sharing site, that looks somehwat similar to youtube on first appearance, and provides 10 minute flash video previews of longer videos and allows you to download the original full-length feature.

The partnerships seem particularily smart because not only will it allow eyespot users additional places to share their videos, but it will allow users of the other sites to edit there videos through eyespot.

In other news, from the same article, Eyespot's closest competitor Jumpcut has announced a small promotional partnership with Fox Atomic, an arm of Twentieth Century Fox and has received angel funding from Michael Robertson, the man behind MP3.com, Gizmo Project, Ajax Launch and countless other projects.
