Shared Media Catalogs Allow You To Instantly Share Your Video Content And Real Estate Shows

Shared Media Catalogs For Video Content

Vidlisting has just launched our shared media catalog functionality designed for content producers and sellers of good and services. Now, Youtube videos, Real Estate Shows, and videos uploaded to our system can be instantly be passed to family, friends, business contacts, prospective buyers, and others that want to view and use your video content. It is far more efficient method than using email or cutting and pasting video files.

By sharing a catalog, you'll give others direct access to selective video content that you've shared. Note that content is shared only when you make it public - you can select which items in your catalog to share and which to make private. The default is always "PRIVATE". International users and investors interested in US content will appreciate that the functionality is available in Spanish and Portuguese in addition to English.

We have a demonstration video of shared media catalogs using real estate video.

Shared media catalogs are different from normal social networking groups in that you dont have to go looking anywhere else to find content from your groups. The demonstration video also shows that members can instantly use content from shared media catalogs to which they have access as their own to include in custom widgets widgets or send to your own network of friends.

You can get your own personal media catalog at http://catalog.vidlisting.com/.

Subdirectories For Media Content

In the next few days, we'll launch another level of social functionality for the media catalog known as shareable subdirectories.  This will be available for premium level members and provides the opportunity to organize and share your videos and real estate shows into shareable subdirectories that function as discrete mini-catalogs. You can organize subdirectories however you decide by theme, location, or type of content (advertising, podcasts, property tours, etc). We are just finishing up the drop and drop capability for subdirectories.

We've also made a simple video preview of the subdirectory functionality.

The functionality is still under development and testing until likely this wednesday so the all of the interfaces in the video are not yet customer ready but it gives you a clear idea of how it will work. Some of the uses for subdirectories include:

- sending personalized groups of videos to a customized group of friends using three mouse clicks. As shown in the video, subdirectories hold a flexible mix of content from different sources (Youtube, real estate shows, and our own system). Rather than sending time uploading videos, you'll be able to better spend your time marketing them.

- wrapping group metadata around related video content: We'll bring value to channel by making searchable metadata for the groups of videos. If geolocation is included as part of the metadata, this functionality will put hyperlocal syndication capability in the hands of non-technical members by using just a few mouse clicks.

- Mapping subdirectories to existing online groups: Organizations with existing portals, blogs, or social networking capabilities will be able to easily map video subdirectories to groups.  The subdirectories can become virtual multimedia storage for these existing online groups and provide a flexible way to deliver specific or targeted multimedia content to group members.

Lots more coming - stay tuned.
