Brand Yourself! Viddler’s new customizable player

Published August 21, 2008 by Colin Devroe in Announcements

Last Thursday, at the New Media Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada - during the keynote address, Gary Vaynerchuk (friend: garyvaynerchuk) of WineLibrary TV (subscribe: winelibrarytv) asked: “When your YouTube video goes viral, whose brand are you promoting?”. The entire audience answered aloud: “YouTube’s”.

Not anymore.

Viddler’s new customizable player is changing the way the world thinks about embeddable video on the Web. Brand Yourself using our player’s features like having your logo in the lower third, the player colors of your choice, and the player linking back to your site and not ours.

Update: Here is a quick video demonstration (with better audio) on how you can do this for yourself. It is super simple.

You can learn more about our customizable player in our learn more section, but really we encourage you to open an account on Viddler and Brand Yourself!

Also, some good examples

I wanted to update this post, not only with a video with better audio quality, but also with a few good examples to check out. My favorite so far are: Beach Walks with Rox, WineLibrary TV, Edwin Villanueva, Daynah, and TechZulu. Post your favorites in the comments (you can even embed a video if you want).

    [...] 3 Reasons I love Viddler Published August 21, 2008 Video Blog Tags: viddler I’ve been using viddler a lot as you can tell by our blog here and I wanted to tell you 3 reasons why I am a fan of viddler.com 1. You can Brand your player. Gary Vaynerchuk announced this feature at the New Media Expo, and we uploaded our logo asap. Pretty Awesome 2. You can edit the permalink. So on some video sites like..um.. Youtube, if you click on a video it takes you to youtube.com With viddler’s permalink feature you can determine where your video will link to. 3. Finally, it is very easy for me to stick this video on my blog. Two quick clicks and the video is posted. [...]
