Video Advertising in Silverlight 2 Players
August 6th, 2008 | Published in Google DoubleClick
Yesterday, we announced the launch of DoubleClick In-Stream support for Microsoft's Silverlight 2 player framework. The technology will be used to serve ads for the NBCOlympics.com site. This feature gives our publisher clients the ability to run ads against video on whatever framework they choose, be it Windows Media, RealMedia, Flash or Silverlight 2.
There's lots of coverage on the story. Here's a few to check out:
