Viewbix, which had its unveiling today at TechCrunch Disrupt, is set to dramatically change the world of online video for SMBs. Focused on empowering companies that use video online, Viewbix (http://www.viewbix.com) provides Call To Action functionality and applications designed to transform the passive nature of online video into one of engagement, action, and transaction.
