Aaron Booker of Varvid is excited to tell you about the new video hosting site Varvid.tv. Varvid.tv will be a video channel dedicated to hosting content that is solely IT related. A lot of the content will be provided by the Varvid crew as they visit major IT events, but the site will also offer the “From the Cloud” community submitted video service, which would feature videos submitted by any partners in the community.
The philosophy behind Varvid.tv’s “From The Cloud” community submitted video service is that many of the new generation hand-held devices can easily shoot in HD, meaning that the ability to capture high quality footage has become widely available. However, most people don’t have access to post-production services that allow a video to look professional, and this is where Varvid.tv comes in. Any MSP, VAR or other Microsoft vendor partner can send rough cut footage to Varvid.tv, where a member of the Varvid crew will then edit the footage and post it on Varvid.tv when it’s completed—and it’s all done for free!
By dedicating itself solely to the IT industry, Varvid.tv is aiming to become the hub of social media video communication in the IT world. Providing a cost-free opportunity to get a professionally produced marketing or promotional video online, Varvid.tv will be the ultimate social media video tool for anyone involved in the IT community.
Here is the official press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…
Varvid launches new Internet video hotspot dedicated to serving the IT community
Varvid.tv site will provide uploading, editing, and hosting services for IT industry.
BELLINGHAM, WA – 7/9/2010 – Varvid, Inc. is announcing their new website launch, Varvid.tv. Varvid.tv provides Value Added Resellers (VARs), Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their vendor partners with the opportunity to create professional-style online videos using their own footage, making Varvid.tv the first website of its kind in the IT community.
Aaron Booker, founder of Varvid, Inc., a long-time member of the IT community and a former VAR himself, believes that Varvid.tv has the potential to both revolutionize the way VARs, MSPs, and vendor partners create content on the web and become a social media epicenter for everything IT. Varvid.tv was first conceived when Booker observed the lack of a dedicated channel focused on providing high-quality video coverage of the IT community. “In an industry whose bread-and-butter is Internet technology, why shouldn’t they be at the forefront of internet-delivered video?” as Aaron puts it. “We are very excited to be able to offer this service to our friends and partners in the community.”
These days, shooting HD video on an iPhone 4, Flip HD camera, or other HD-capable video device is very easy. What isn’t easy is making the footage worth watching. That’s where Varvid.tv comes in. With our new “From the Cloud” service, users get to decide the content of their video because they shoot it themselves. After they’ve uploaded their footage to Varvid.tv through an easy-to-use widget, production staff immediately set to work editing their video to make it ready for viewing. Once the video is finished, it is uploaded to Varvid.tv, ready for streaming in Flash, HTML5, and soon, Microsoft Silverlight. Videos hosted on Varvid.tv are optimized for every viewing experience; one foot – the mobile experience, three feet – the desktop experience, and ten feet – the television experience.
Along with the launch of Varvid.tv, which can be navigated to from mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows Mobile Devices, Varvid, Inc. has also developed an iPhone application, which is currently awaiting approval in the Apple store. With a little luck, this app will be downloadable in time for this year’s Worldwide Partner Conference in Washington DC (WPC 2010), from which Varvid will be updating Varvid.tv with regular HD interviews and newsflashes. Since 2003, Microsoft’s WPC has provided a unique 5-day event for thousands of partners from over 100 countries to plan their business strategies for the upcoming year.
