Viddler

Your content is important to us. Really important. Your video files are probably more important to us than food and water. When Earth’s fresh water supply becomes a commodity and the great aqua wars begin, we’ll be trading bottles of Dasani for MP4′s. We love video files.

Flakey internet connections are one of the most common reasons video uploads never reach Viddler’s servers. WiFi connections drop out and cable modems get temperamental and beg to be unplugged and replugged in—there are a ton of ways your upload can get interrupted. We recognized this as a problem and set out to find a way to fix it. WiFi dropouts and other end-user connectivity issues aren’t just going to go away anytime soon, and believe me, when the aqua wars truly begin, everybody will have a flakey internet connection.

So we decided this was a problem that we’d have to find a way to solve on our end. Today we’re launching the solution to that problem: Viddler’s Resumable Uploader. Our resumable uploader is built on Java, and will automatically restart your upload where it left off if your internet connection gets interrupted. You’ll never have to restart a video upload on Viddler, no matter how many times your internet connection drops out during the upload process.

Reliability and user experience are extremely important to us, and we want to make sure that this experience is accessible to anyone who uses Viddler, That’s why we’re proud to launch this new feature across the board. Business customers, Viddler Partners, and free personal accounts all have access to our new resumable uploader. So go ahead, start uploading a video, spill coffee on your laptop, unplug your ethernet cable, stick your laptop in a bag of rice to dry it, and replug your computer back in and watch the upload pick up where it left off. It’s fun!
