“Our technology enables advertisers to

or ‘streamies,'” according to Tom Des Jardins, chief executive officer and
chief technology officer of Lightningcast.
The service is designed to deliver advertisers to
targeted audiences using profiling techniques based on geography,
demography and behavior.
The service exposes advertisers to new revenue possibilities and

“Our advertisers will be able to target exactly whom
they want to direct the ad to,” he said. “Lightningcast lets us aim an
