Win an iPhone for doing MeToday videos!

Posted in Featured by Colin Devroe on June 30, 2007

Viddler is giving away two free 8Gb iPhones in the month of July! Rob and I did an announcement right after picking them up for you yesterday.

Yes, that’s right - we stood in line for 8 hours to get iPhones for you! So, how do you win them? All you need to do is record one MeToday (examples) video per day during the month of July and each one counts as an entry to win one of two iPhones that we’re giving away. Easy, right?

Please read the full contest rules. Anyone submitting a MeToday video, in hopes of getting an iPhone, should read our full contest rules. Before being awarded an iPhone, you will be asked if you read the latest copy of the rules. We’re just covering our butts here, mmmkay?

Oh, be sure to tag your videos with MeToday otherwise they will not be found.

So, what are you waiting for? Record!

Thirty-Three by the Smashing Pumpkins, Live!

Posted in Featured by Colin Devroe on June 28, 2007

The Smashing Pumpkins are played at The Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina and Viddler cabbage was there to record them performing Thirty-Three.

We’re glad that cabbage was able to get this footage and share it here on Viddler because, according to the site, all future shows are already sold out at The Orange Peel. Thanks for sharing!

Do the 5books meme!

Posted in Featured by Colin Devroe on June 27, 2007

Viddler Brandice has started another meme here on Viddler. And like so many memes that happen online I feel that this one will spread far and wide. The 5books meme, here is her 5books video part one.

Will you participate? I threw my 5books out there, you should too. Just pick 5 books, record the video, and tag it with ‘5books’. Easy, peezy, lemon squeezy.

The “dramatic meme”

Posted in Featured by Colin Devroe on June 25, 2007

So, there was this hamster that got all dramatic. Then, everyone started to follow suit. Viddler’s own iJustine threw in her hat. Will you?

If you decide to go dramatic, tag your video with ‘dramaticmeme‘. I’m still trying to setup my dramatic pose…

New! Updated uploader and trackbacks

Posted in Announcements by Colin Devroe on June 21, 2007

Sick and tired of just waiting around for your video to upload? Starting today we’ll try to kill some of that time by asking you for a title, description, and some tags while you are waiting for your video to upload.

New Viddler Uploader!

Have you ever wondered where your video is being displayed? All of the sudden your video has 5,000 views and you have no idea where your video is getting that traffic? Viddler now supports “trackbacks”, which stats start today, in that we can now show you exactly how many views your videos are getting all over the web.

New! Viddler supports trackbacks.

Be sure to give both of these new features a spin and let us know what you think in the comments!
