White Label video portals are not really that new. We’ve been doing it for about two years now and have over 2,000 web sites using our service. That said we welcome the competition. I’ve always thought of VSocial as a leader in this space with a shrewd management team. I find their move very validating for providers like us who are providing a “start your own YouTube” type service. Good Luck guys!

I believe Brightcove is also offering some thing very similar.

Fliqz has BEEN doing this, go to this website for Travelblog.com. I can use their video uploader right from this site The video page testifies to how much of a success they have already become.

I just saw Mikes comment above. Why does this, “VSocial” site charge? Fliqz does it for free! Sounds too me like VSocial should reconsider their stradegy!

“With $1.5 million in funding from Ron Conway and Consor Capital, VSocial is aiming for a mid market price point on short form video.”

I’d give anything to here just what these companies are spending this money on. I just visited that website, saw nothing new, and I will certainly never go back. Why? Because it’s nothing new, and I just don’t care.

But seriously. Could somebody please explain to me how $1.5 million is going to improve anything?

I think the best offering in this market segment is from a relative newcomer called Fliqz. Here’s a link to the widget download:

I’ve tried using this widget on my blog, it works well. I was impressed. And it’s Free! I’m not sure how VSocial will survive with competing offers like this… it will completely undercut their market share. I mean honestly, why pay $75/month when you can get the same thing for $0/month?

[…] Local Arizona company and Grid7 Tempe neighbor VSocial has relaunched their site and announced they’ve raised a $1.5 million first round of funding. They also made Techcrunch. We had a great conversation with Brad Webb, Vsocial CTO in Venturecast #5. It’s great to see our local companies picking up some momentum. […]

In my opinion vSocial is doing a good work with business model innovations. Like the MyBrand player and other features where they might be able to generate revenues offering a valued service for content producers.

Then again, success in the online video arena will probably require more than that.

I always really liked vSocial and felt they were the underdog player here.

I found vSocial to be a LOT more addictive than youtube. In my book though MetaCafe currently holds the ‘addiction’ crown…

From what I could tell the were competing head on with youtube and had *around* the same user base install before youtube really grew like wild fire. I don’t have any real traffic numbers because the alexa numbers are insane. (wish I had hitwise data).

I think one big contributor to youtube was the SNL Chronicles of Narnia skit which threw it over the top and made it harder for competitors to catch up… first mover advantage all over again.
