Live Beta Link
http://vidlisting.com/beta/betaupload_english.asp
Overview of beta functionality is here (http://forsalebylocals.wordpress.com/2007/12/14/real-estate-video-features-and-widgets-for-agents-brokers-portals-and-organizations/)
If suitable content is uploaded, we'll even consider sydicating it live on our website as no cost as a thank you for participating in the beta.
Widgets
We have lots of functionality for individual agents as far as quickly building video widgets that can be used in activerain and other blogging platforms. We have widgets for single videos as well as video widgets for up to 5 videos that can be horizontal or vertical.
These widgets made up of multiple videos can be used for a series of property videos, training videos, area videos, or other any other use.
Individual Syndication
In our beta refresh, we'll demonstrate how uploaded content can be syndicated not just across social groups within the same domain but also across domains. You'll be able to instantly share uploaded content with other individuals anywhere in our system. Receivers of that content will be able to preview and approve that content before it appears in their personal video media catalog.
Managing Organizational Video Content
Real estate organizations such as brokerages, agencies, blogging networks, and portals of any size have unique branding and distribution requirements for their content. Our service respects organizational hierachies - a brokers can syndicate video content to all of their agents for instance or subsets of agents. A real estate asssociation might be interested in syndicating content to a single brokerage, a specific type of member (commercial, luxury, etc.), or a specific geographic area. All of this can be done today. If you would like to try out the organizations.
Try out the beta. It's our first day with the complete live public beta and we've only had one video that didnt pass our automated inpection of uploads. We look forward to seeing your video live online soon.

FIRST DAY ROUND OF FEEDBACK
Lots of great feedback for our first day. here are some of the things that we changed based on user responses today:
- Eliminated subtitles and made two lines of full fledged titles (36 total characters of title are now available). Users dont have to think as much now about the title of their video icon.
- we made some tweaks to our automated inspection process. Even though we previously tested against dozens of codecs, one slipped through today that we were not ready for.
- We reorganized some of the input form's elements.
- before the day is over, we'll have a bit of code that will ensure that a video has been selected on the video media catalog page before proceeding to build a widget or editing the icon information.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased. The server farm is pretty efficient and works as designed. Please keep the input coming - we are all ears.
