It’s a known fact that adding a photo or photos to an eBay
listing (or Craigslist, or any of the other options open to sellers)
can massively increase the chance of a successful sale.
Another way to boost your chances of getting a good price is by using a photo of the actual item rather than a stock image of the product weaned from the manufacturer’s site.
Prospective buyers don’t just want to read a description, they want to see exactly what they would be spending their money on since some sellers can be very vague with their words.
For this reason, several services such as Auctiva, MyEasyPics, BiggerBids, and even eBay’s own Picture Manager have become profitable in offering indispensable tools to eBay sellers.
Now, with the popularity of online video rapidly growing, vzaar is aiming to take eBay auctions to the next level by allowing sellers to include short video ads (2-3 minutes maximum) of their items within listings… YouTube-style.
Nokia has recently announced that they are teaming up with
Spike Lee to
create
a series of shorts for the User Generated Content community.
This is certainly a positive step for the handset maker who seem to be seeking to extend into more diverse markets.
Certainly, UGC is huge and the goal of converting millions of eyeballs into dollars has been the Holy Grail for YouTube and a slew of smaller companies.
That Nokia is using their platforms; I gather the N95 along with a name director is certainly a good marketing strategy. Certainly, this is not the first company to seek to work from the top down.
Have you ever thought text is becoming a thing of the past? Videos are becoming such a normality on the Internet, that the written word just doesn’t do it any more.
So, to that end, Seesmic, a video micro-blogging application for the Web, is now available as a Wordpress plugin, which will instantly make it available to millions of new users.
What the new Seesmic plugin offers is the chance for bloggers and writers on websites to easily record videos for their posts, as well as the opportunity for readers to comment using video rather than text.
Imagine American Idol for TV and filmmakers and you’ll have
some idea of where Filmaka is coming from.
It’s an independent We-based movie venture, and after more than a year in betam, it’s finally come out to the world.
The project has a couple of high-profile backers: indie film producer Deepak Nayar (responsible for movies such as Bend It Like Beckham and Buena Vista Social Club) and former Fox TV network honcho Sandy Grushow, who gave the world shows such as The OC, 24, The X-Files and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Grushow was also one of the network executives behind American Idol, and says Filmaka is based on a similar premise.
Last month saw rumours circulating (not for the first time) of
Flickr adding video to their already massively popular photo sharing
service.
Unlike every other time however, these proved to be true, and the new video elements were rolled out on the site yesterday.
Now, just one day later there seems to already be a rapidly growing group among Flickr users, who are against the move and want the site to remain dedicated to photography.
Last week saw the CTIA Wireless show take place in Las Vegas.
Ripcode were there for the first time, and exhibited solutions for on
demand mobile video transcoding.
Considering booth location was less than optimal – Ripcode’s own fault for signing up late – they still got good foot traffic and were kept busy talking with visitors and demoing their On-Demand Transcoding solution for mobile video.
There was a lot of positive reactions to the message. It’s obvious that delivering video to mobile is a challenge for many companies.
Over the last couple of weeks, we shared our four part interview series with Dr. Gerry Purdy, VP and Chief Analyst with Frost & Sullivan.
In Part 1, we explored the future transcoding market, and the impact mobile video will have on transcoding and the challenges that await this year.
In Part 2, we discussed the impact that the Apple iPhone and YouTube have had on the mobile user experience, as well as the complexities of mass video distribution.
In Part 3, we discussed the global growth of mobile video, the impact of unlimited data plans on the mobile video market, and regulatory constraints on the market.
