Where to watch the Super Bowl spots

One of the things I felt was notable about last night's Super Bowl ads was that the ads were available in such a wide variety of places. Not only did many of the companies have the ads on their own websites (some of which were available for downloading to your computer and portable device) but there were a few sites - and I'm likely leaving a bunch out - that rounded all or most of them up.

  • First up is Google Video. They created a special site just for the Super Bowl ads, about 40 or so. It even includes a handy link that lets you watch them all in one fell swoop and lets you know doing so will only take about 20 minutes.
  • Mothership AOL has a gallery of the spots broken down by quarter. And the site even loads with a commercial, a brief teaser for the upcoming new season of The Sopranos.
  • The NFL won't let you forget these commercials are associated with football and so have put the spots on their homepage.
  • iFilm not only has most of the spots (this time broken down by parent company) available to watch but they've made the ads very friendly for web publishers to grab. They put a cool "Snag" link next to each spot that copies the code for an image and the link back to iFilm to the Windows clipboard for you to then paste into your blog or site. Tom and I utilized this feature a couple times last night and it's a great example of reaching out to citizen journalists. Nice move by iFilm.
