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.

Here’s a powerful idea – why not make your videos interactive and then embed them on many of the world’s most popular social networking sites. Engage your viewers by taking advantage of the lean-in experience of interactive video and attain click-through / engagement rates that far surpass anything else on the web. Please view and engage with the vlog below to see how it works.

Here at Veeple we are 100% about taking video to the next level. Why sit and stare at a video when you can lean-in and interact with the video, the message within the video and even the creator of the video. The next step in social networking. Enjoy.

In the fever of launching interPlay last week I had failed to tell everyone about a new discount model for non-profits and educational institutions. In the spirit of adding value and aligning with organizations doing ’special’ work, we are now offering the complete Veeple solution for a 30% discount to our standard pricing. Now, .edus and .orgs can take advantage of our interactive video service for only $69 per month, and get up to 10,000 videos streamed with no obligation, on an opt-in, month to month basis. The advantages of interactive video are impressive, on the order of 24% engagement rates. However, the educational aspects of interactive video for e-learning purposes are, without a doubt, tremendous and unprecedented. Students can now interact directly with the medium, the message and the messenger.

If you have any questions, click on the interactive video above or contact us directly by sending an email to sales@veeple.com.

Thanks and have a fantastic day or night.

All the best, Scott
