What is social networking for video?

Social networking is all about enabling like minds to find and communicate with one another in a contextually meaningful fashion. It’s about users, their profiles, their content and their extended network. Whether this network is formally organized or loosely and opportunistically coupled around common interests matters not.

Online video can deliver a monologue, cultivate a conversation, convey a position or just entertain.

We believe that integrating the power of social networking with the digital spark that is online video is destined to be a game changer for you personally and for your business or organization.

Why? Two reasons. One is that it is hard to argue against global reach carried on the wings of viral distribution models. Two is that the concept of delivering rich messages that can be brand–active and monetized (via advertising) in a self–serve fashion opens the doors to a lot of different applications

Do I have to be a business to use your service?

The short answer is no. We deliver a service that millions of people can use and get great joy and utility out of without ever spending a dime. Don’t get us wrong. We need to make money, but experience has taught us that our customers discover us through our free offerings and over time, some of them grow into premium product users.

Some people call this model of providing both free and premium offerings in one space “free–mium,” which simply means that we need to deliver enough value for free users to tell their business user friends about the goodness that is the vCONNECT product.

Tell me about some applications for vCONNECT!

We have found that some users embrace our service because they are fanatical about a certain type of content. Anime users, for example, literally plug in their videos, tag them, comment, rate and review videos of interest, and then follow the traversal paths to make friends with other fans of anime.

Others have something to promote. We take great pride in a certain band that uploaded their video and saw it viewed over 850,000 times in 90 days. That changes the equation for local bands, as it did for this brand.

Still others have piggybacked on our platform to launch video channels that generate many thousands of visitors every day, and they are building a powerful social network of their own!

We see traditional media striving to cultivate citizen journalism. Vertical portals that use every chunk of functionality that we can provide them to launch YouTube–like video communities. No less exciting to us, we see major brands, politicians, and bloggers crafting new types of messages and engaging audiences in ways previously unavailable to them.
