This week we vlog about interacting with content. The advent of the Droid, the iPhone, the Slate and the iPad makes it self-evident that the era of interactive computing is upon us. With no more external keyboard and no more external mouse, yet allowing people to engage with the content and the content owner. Forget about placing a video inside your website… Think about placing your website inside a video. And, be not afraid… We have made this so easy to do that my 9-year old daughter, Alyssa, can do it. Simple and Engaging, a powerful combination. Enjoy this video to see what we mean.

This week we talk about relating vs. writing as you look to connect with your customers. Customers that do this well see over 24% engagement rates with their customers and viewers. So rather than writing, let’s start relating and go right to the video. Enjoy.

This week in our interactive video blog, or i-vlog for short, we give you a gift – A clickable PDF document that helps you select the online video platform that best meets your requirements.  We call it Value Creation Tips and it includes elements to help you navigate the often times confusing words that the industry and our competitors use. We have tried to simplify the important points. I hope you enjoy the interactive video.

All the best to you.

This week, broadcasters, content creators, and network operators came together in San Francisco to discuss and debate the state of the industry at the Television of Tomorrow 2010 conference. TVOT2010 was standing room only and we at Veeple congratulate Tracy Swedlow and ITVT, the show’s creator, for a wonderfully successful event. Interactive television was one of the most heavily debated topics and if, when and how would interactivity be integrated within the television experience. From our perspective we see the positive outcome of interactivity as self-evident, given the intersection of three unstoppable trends: fast and inexpensive broadband, Internet cloud computing and HTML5. In any industry, the cool stuff happens when and where disparate technologies intersect. This is what we are seeing in broadcast television. The video below is a one minute example of what interactive television might look like.

For Immediate Release – February 8, 2010

Today we announce the immediate availability of interactive video optimized for search. It is VideoSEO and is the result of cool creativity on the part of our Veeple engineers to embed searchable content inside your interactive videos. The video clip below shows what we have done. Now marketers can think about video marketing campaigns that are more discoverable, thereby increasing reach and frequency for the same dollars – a best practice for social media video campaigns. Click on the interactive links within the video to learn more and to read an article at Streaming Media. Enjoy.

The next time you upload a video, or want to optimize a video you already have, put in really cool keywords when inside of your video details. Then re-deploy your video and you are good to go.

Have a fantastic day and we look forward to you using the next step in interactive and now searchable video. All the best, Scott – Veeple Co-Founder

A request from World Vision International and Veeple

As the entire world is aware, earlier this week Haiti experienced a massive earthquake. The casualties are in the tens of thousands and some estimates place the death toll higher than 50,000. Veeple and World Vision International are asking for your support.  World Vision normally has about 300 people working in Haiti and this week is flying in an additional 500 people. We are asking that you donate $10 to help the people of Haiti. Please view the video below to see how you can contribute.  Our thoughts, hopes and prayers are with the people of Haiti.
