Magnify.net Does for Video Blogging What Wordpress Did for Word Blogging
Magnify.net is announcing today their "video blog in a box" setup which basically allows anyone with a webcam to start a video blog in 5 minutes or less. Sounds similar to the Wordpress.com setup which also takes about 5 minutes. The service is in private beta and you can request a beta invite here.
It’s always an interesting discussion when we talk about video blogging. I can sit with 10 people and 5 love it and 5 hate it. Some are doing well with it like Justine, Sarah and Gary but video blogging is still in its infancy.
Podcamp co-founder and online media guru Chris Brogan will host a daily video blog called “Attention Upgrade” (http://www.attentionupgrade.magnify.net) to showcase Magnify’s new platform during the private beta.
They have also introduced a variety of new features in time for the holidays including:
-
Widget Maker 2.0
-
A Bookmarklet – allows others to refer videos to your channel on Magnify.net
-
Custom Page Builder
-
Flash Uploader
-
and a new Profile Builder
Kristen over at Mashable has additional details on the announcement. Check out our previous Magnify.net coverage including the nextNYers interview with CEO Steve Rosenbaum.
