MITX interviews BuySellAds.com about their spot as a finalist in this year's MITX Technology Awards Online Advertising category.

2. How do you feel about being named a finalist in the 2010 Tech Awards? BuySellAds.com being nominated as a finalist in the MITX awards proves that it's not a popularity contest for the most hyped venture-funded companies. This level playing field gives smaller companies like us a chance to shine. We’re thrilled to be in such great company.

3. If you could describe your innovation in one succinct sentence, how would you describe yourself? We make buying and selling ads really, really easy.

4. How was your company founded, and what inspired its creation? BuySellAds was created out of frustration. An easy way of buying and selling ads didn’t exist. It was a manual process we helped add process to and automate.

5. What makes your company different from other companies in your market space? Our software is simpler and better than the competition’s.

6. What has been your company's greatest accomplishment in the past year? Being the first ad network to have truly non-blocking asynchronous ad code. For us, it’s like being the first ones to set foot on the moon.

7. What is your greatest asset? We are naïve – we still believe we can do anything and we continue to tackle large undertakings for such a small team.
