Magnify.net Moves Their Video Blogging System Public - Make Yourself Internet Famous

Have you ever wanted to cry into the camera about Britney or yell about teen Jamie Lynn's baby announcement? Have you considered dropping a mentos into a coke? What about talking about maps? Well if that's you, Magnify.net has the product for you!

We covered the private beta release of NY-based Magnify.net's "video blog in a box" setup which basically allows anyone with a webcam to start a video blog in 5 minutes or less. I think of this tool as being similar to Wordpress.com for text blogging. Unlike Wordpress.com, publishers can share in the revenue generated on their video blog. It's very easy to use from my testing.

You use a webcam to create a video channel on the network and can add in other videos to complement your own live action movies. Today they are showing off Jeff Hibbard and his mobile weblog. Frankly the videos were boring as heck. No one wants to watch a guy drive a car or eat at a Denny's. Side note: I am absolutely against people videoblogging while driving, it's just wrong.

Magnify.net has also released the following stats on service usage: passed 1 million unique visits in the month of November and there are currently over 22,000 dedicated channels online on Magnify.net.
