Viddler

As you probably know, we’ve built a portal for all things video at SXSW this year. We hope to see everyone sharing their experiences at SXSW through this site, but I thought I’d take a second to explain how to use SXSWVideos.com.

SXSWVideos.com was built using our public API. No hacks! You could build this very same thing if you wanted to for your event. If you ask nicely, in the comments area, I bet I’d even help you with it.

Recording, uploading, or even importing your video through SXSWVideos.com is probably a fairly easy procedure, but since you’re already used to using Viddler.com - you may want to take advantage of things like our bulk uploader and not want to use SXSWVideos.com. That’s fair, here’s how you do that.

SXSWVideos leverages tags to feeds its various pages. The general tag of sxsw will put videos on the front page. However, each category on the site has its own tag like sxswintroduction, sxswmetoday, and sxswpanel. If you uploading a video to Viddler.com you can easily categorize that video on SXSWVideos.com by adding both sxsw, and sxswCATEGORY to the video. Be sure the tag isn’t plural!

Pretty simple, right?

If you have any questions about how to use the site itself, or how you can help us get video there, don’t be afraid to ask. We weren’t afraid to ask Chris Masto to join us at SXSW this year to help us shoot some video, here is his introduction.

So be sure to do your own introduction for SXSW as so many others have already done! Questions? Ask away!
