I definitely agree with Chris that tubemogul seems like a much better concept. Adding additional steps to every upload process takes things backwards. Registering with a site and having it do the work of adding your uploads is better

Vidmetrix is better

WOW! We have been looking for a service that does this type of action. Having a catalog of over 10,000 video clips on over 200 different sites its a nightmare trying to keep track of the views without spending all day using a calculator. Nice!

I agree with the first comment. I believe TubeMogul will be the leader for tracking online videos. They allow users to track up to 6 videos free of charge and either embed the results or transfer them to an xl spreadsheet. Moreover, their website and instructional video are more user friendly and helpful than videocounters.

Wow, I have no clue about the significance of this service. It can provide value much like hitwise, but without significant volume it will be difficult to monetize.

I still don’t understand why there are so many verticals/ industries that are opportune disruption targets, but the silicon valley seems to overlook. How many multimedia related Co’s can you all have and search engines? It is a ridiculous and short-sighted method to determine what to build.

Any database experts out there? We have zero direct competitors and an addressable market of $50billion that allow for several monetization strategies, three of which we have on our road map.

yes, it does look exactly like vidmetrix.com but this one seems to track less sites and shows less info…why make a copycat with less features?

This is going to come in very handy – was looking for a way to track various videos without going to each site.

This has the potential to become a MyBlogLog if a social network is added to it

If this works anything like Vidmetrix, it’s bass-ackwards. Currently, the only video network stats service that’s anywhere near useful (and on the right track, so to speak) is TubeMogul – which I wrote about last November, long before I knew how smart it’d turn out to be. Tracking individual video URLs isn’t useful for those of us who upload several videos on a daily basis – tracking account-wide statistics is much more scalable on the marketer’s time and dime.

More important than comprehensive stats at this point, however, is comprehensive uploads – sending a video to a single Web service, and having that single service sneeze said video to dozens of networks (rather than re-uploading it several times over from the desktop).
