Don't Miss the Twitter Boat + New Features! 2009-04-24 15:48:55 The code monkeys at Magnify have been hard at work building bodacious new features, including new and awesome Twitter tools. Get the full run down.
Wondering why you should use Twitter and Magnify together? Don't trust me - read the testimonial of a user below. Also, see a really amazing Magnify channel built around Twitter.
First, the new toys:
1) Auto-Tweet - gives site administrators the ability to auto-tweet an alert when new content is posted. You also get to choose the frequency of tweets (every time a video is posted, once a day, etc.) It’s easy to set up and is a great ways to let users of your channel know when new content has been posted. (Site admin --> "Content" tab --> Manage Twitter Announcements)2) Tweet-Caster - I love this thing! A custom-built twitter search module that searches twitter in real time for chosen keywords and displays results in a configurable module. (Also includes an obscenity filter that will automatically exclude tweets containing speci
How many people are visiting your channel? 2009-04-22 17:29:07 I often get questions from users wondering how many people are visiting their channel. Well, it is easy to find out. For channel admins, sign into your channel, go into site admin and right there in the "channel" tab you will see a link to "review channel statistics". Here is the link: www.YOURCHANNEL.magnify.net/admin/service/stats
Channel Stats can give you a good sense of how many people are visiting your channel and what exactly they are doing there. This information can be helpful in a variety of ways. If you notice for example that your channel attracted a large number of visitors on a specific day, you can often think back to that day and figure out what you did to get a traffic spike. New video? Was your channel mentioned in an article or blog outside of Magnify? Did you have a video that a lot of users commented on? Digging even deeper into the stats will give you even more info.
Wondering what certain statistics stand for? Check out are FAQ for exact definitions.

aside, we think Earth Day is great and an important day that should be recognized by
everyone. There are quite a few green minded channels on Magnify and we

One of the fastest growing Magnify channels ever! The Susan Boyle Phenomenon 2009-04-15 18:16:58 If you haven’t heard of Susan Boyle, you will. And part of the reason could be the Magnify channel www.susan-boyle.com. Susan Boyle, a 47-year-old “small town spinster” created a pop culture phenonom after appearing on Britain's Got Talent. Shortly after her appearance, a fan set up a Magnify channel and with over 3000 members in a little over 48 hours, has become “The #1 Fansite for UK's newest singing sensation.” The channel has exploded with user activity, including thousands of comments and tons of user webcam uploads. The channel is filled with videos, news, user uploads and even a link to buy a Susan Boyle T-shirt. You have to check out this channel. We want to congratulate the site creator on his excellent work and encourage the rest of you to either visit the site or create your own fan sit - who knows, you could create the next www.susan-boyle.com
More on encoding, HD Cloud and Magnify 2009-04-15 14:49:41
Yesterday saw an impressive roll-out by HD Cloud - Magnify's new encoding partner and a company that has been getting some serious attention on the technology front. It was great to see the amazing and well deserved press coverage HD Cloud got yesterday (see links below). We also had the chance to watch HD Cloud put on an impressive demo last night at the NY tech meetup, encoding 100 50mb videos simultaneously in under 5 minutes...and the videos looked awesome.
HD Cloud is best-of-breed technology that is really changing the way that encoding is done and you, as a Magnify user, are at the forefront of change. Amongst other benefits, the new cloud technology has dramatically improved encoding time for Magnify users (you no longer have to wait in line to have your video encoded).
Magnify is excited to continue partnering with great technology and want to congratulate Nicholas and his team at HD Cloud on a great launch, amazing product and overall awesomeness.

Channel Focus: Magnify Staff Choice 2009-04-13 18:06:25 We recently asked some of the staff at Magnify to pick a channel that stood out and impressed them. Below, Filip Szmanski, our resident video expert and the only person in the Magnify office with a Southern accent, talks about a channel that has caught his eye.
"Dog training is something that I had recently been involved with after adopting my puppy, Boris. I would like to think I did a good job training him, however, I had to leave him with my parents - the apartment I was moving to in NYC didn't allow pets. It wasn't ideal to leave my dog behind but I had limited time to find an apartment. My parents would have to continue his training, which was a daunting task being that my parents have never owned a dog, let alone a puppy. In preparation to giving Boris over to my parents, I gave them all the tips I could give them but there was just so much to go over. I had to give them another resource other than bugging me every five minutes when something came up wit
Free customized channel 2009-04-07 18:21:26 Today the Library of Congress released some of the oldest recorded films in history and put them on their youtube channel. Even if you are not a fan of old films, it is pretty cool to see what one looked like from 1903. But then after watching a few, I thought, if the videos are on youtube, why not take them and build a Magnify channel? And then give away the channel to a Magnify user who would like to become the site admin?
Here's the channel: http://oldtimers.magnify.net/Here is how I built it:1) I took a simple template, changed the background colors and uploaded a custom header - www.YOURCHANNEL.magnify.net/admin/design/layout 2) Imported content from youtube using the Magnify search, searching the term "user:libraryofcongress" (telling the search to only find videos from the user: library of congress). I also searched for content using the broad term "old movie" and found a couple of videos to add to the channel that weren't on the Library of Congress channel

New York Magazine Relaunches Video; Curation is Key
Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 09:42 AM ETPosted by: Will Richmond
New York magazine, the go-to-source for in-the-know New Yorkers, has relaunched the video section of
its web site using the Magnify.net platform. What separates the
magazine's effort from others is its plan to actively augment video it
produces itself with other video sources, including users. By
"curating" others' video, New York is looking to beef up the video
section of its site by tapping into others' energy. Michael Silberman,
the magazine's GM, Digital Media, explained more to me last week.
Michael said that as a print publication, New York was unlikely to
ever have a large staff devoted to video production (it currently has
just one dedicated person). However, the New York team has been
watching broadband video's surging popularity and wanted to capitalize
on this by

Advertising $$$ shifting from TV to online 2009-03-31 14:06:21 Interesting news in the ad space. AdAge, an advertising trade paper, is reporting that ad agency Reckitt-Benckiser is shifting $20 million of its TV budget to online video this year. What does this mean for you? Watch out for the next Lysol commercial to be online and not on your TV. And in the longer term, it shows a positive trend of more advertising money moving into the online space. More money in the online advertising space means more oppurtunity for channel admins like you to make money from advertising on your channel. Want to learn more about advertising?

Twitter on Magnify 2009-03-26 18:25:46 We like Twitter. A lot. We think it is a great tool and goes side by side with Magnify. Owning to our love of this new "mini-blogging" tool and user feedback, we have rolled out new and exciting Twitter modules to help Magnify users integrate Twitter into their channels. The first new tool is a personal Twitter reader that allows you to display your tweets in real time. It is a great way to feature your tweets on your Magnify page. Our second new module is a web-wide twitter search that allows you to enter a term or terms and search twitter in real time (I love this module and its ability to provide users with a mini twitter search engine). Both modules are adjustable (size, color, frequency) and can be used in a variety of creative and cool ways. Try them out by going into your site admin --> "design" tab --> adjust home page layout --> tools. Beyond using Twitter on your Magnify channel with our modules, Twitter can also be used as a tool to update users on new activit

The Magnify.net/Zappos experience at SXSW 2009-03-20 17:29:10
Written By Steve Rosenbaum
South by Southwest is the biggest internet/media/ interactive conference we've ever attended and I thought that it would be good to give you guys an update of what went on.I'm not going to explain SXSW, you can read my detailed about the event in my post on Huffington Post.But, for Ari and I - the first two days were all about BoxBreaks. First of all, the Bloggers Lounge is run by our friends Stephanie Agresta and Brian Solis of TechSet. These guys totally know how to put on a show. The lounge was sponsored by Window's Mobile - and we were invited to power the Microsoft "Fantasy Application" promotion. So, Stephanie working with Jen from her team, Loke from Microsoft, and Billy from Magnify.net put together a Rockin’ site. Here's my 'fantasy' just in case you're interested.

Optimism And Opportunity At SXSW 2009-03-19 15:07:56
Written By Steve Rosenbaum
At first, I thought it was just
the group of people I was spending time with. Among them, the talk was
rapid-fire and filled with unbridled enthusiasm. So on the second day
at South by Southwest, I ranged further out - into the panels and into
the impromptu lunch gatherings that crop up throughout this sprawling
interactive conference. To my surprise, each and every person I spoke
with was riding a wave driven by the fast moving social media explosion
that is sweeping across media, advertising, and consumer products. It
seems these are good times for the Digital Natives and their
technology-driven businesses.
But, it's not as simple as that. The change is fundamental. The fear
and concerns written large across the headlines of the nations daily
newspapers aren't lost on the attendees of South by Southwest, it's

Promoters of all kinds take a shot at online video
NEW YORK — Media companies and people with camcorders and spare time — the drivers of popular online sites including Hulu.com and YouTube— are starting to face tough new competition for the attention of Web users who like to watch videos.
Businesses, colleges and institutions are
leaping into online video production as the audience for clips soars
and production and distribution costs plummet.
"It's a gigantic business," says Jeremy Allaire,
CEO of Brightcove, an Internet video services firm. "Every single month
it's just grown and grown, to the point where a majority of our
customers now are not media companies. They are people using the Web to

Channel Focus: StreamingGourmet 2009-03-06 14:36:59 Channel Focus:
We recently had the opportunity to interview Amy Wilson, creator of the Magnify channel, StreamingGourmet, a site that 'makes it easy to find, post and share cooking videos from anywhere on the web or from your very own desktop.' Amy is a great example of someone who has taken the Magnify platform and run with it. Below, we ask her a few questions about Magnify and how she created what has become one of the most innovative and fun Magnify channels out there.When was the idea for the channel first conceived? What was the motivation?The idea was conceived in the middle of August of 2008. The site launched Oct. 1, 2008. That Magnify made it possible to get a site up and running in 5 weeks with so many of my feature wishes fulfilled is, in many ways, the true story here. My motivation was that I wanted to create a Vimeo/Youtube for cooks. I saw that there were hundreds of thousands of videos on Youtube tagged with "cooking" so there was a market for video-hosting re
