Eyespot Adds Mobile to Video Personalization Suite
Eyespot has unveiled significant new features for its Personalization Suite, a toolset that lets users mix, edit, upload and broadcast video content. For the first time, people can instantly and automatically send content they’ve personalized to any mobile phone or Web site with one click of the mouse. The new feature set is free for consumers and comes as more Web users want to create, personalize, and share videos online. December 2007 marked a record month for online video: comScore found that during that time, more than 76 percent of U.S. Internet users watched video online.
“The Suite’s new features allow people to simultaneously be producers, creative directors, editors and distributors for their personal video content,” said Jim Kaskade, President and CEO of Eyespot. “We’ve seen first-hand that once people make customized videos, mixes, and slideshows that they want to send them to their friends and family. We’re giving any consumer new ways to unleash their creativity and to share the results with others.”
Eyespot.com is a fast-growing destination for those who want access to a vast library of rights-cleared content such as blockbuster movies and hit music videos, as well as the ability to upload and incorporate their own videos, music, photos and special effects. Eyespot’s technology is also deployed by leading publishers in film, music, sports, broadcast TV, and online social networks including Lucasfilm, Ltd., SonyBMG Entertainment, Fox Interactive Media, and IAC.
