*”The visual sharing company.” Why not just chuck it into YouTube? Well, then you don’t own the means of production.
*I dunno if this particular company is going anywhere, but cheap shareable video is getting weirder fast. It’s starting to bother me now when I see conventional, classic video, with narratives, and credits, and sets, and proper lighting and shooting. It’s like watching an oration in Latin.
OCTOBER 28TH
INTRODUCING 23 VIDEO.
CHANGING ONLINE VIDEO AND
HOW ORGANIZATIONS COMMUNICATE
“Today 23 introduces 23 Video, changing the online video space and how organizations communicate. 23 Video introduces the videosite as the new way to work with online video.
“Introducing the videosite (((”the videosite.” Since it’s only para-video, shouldn’t that be a “videoparasite”?)))
“So far organizational use of video on the web has been about embedding clips from centralized services like Youtube. Having your own videosite with it’s own domain, (((after accustoming myself to vernacular video, I now get uneasy when people can properly proofread text, too))) own design and own videoplayer have been for the few.
“This has hindered the adoption of video in organizations along with innovative uses of video. Even using enterprise video solutions, you had to build a website and then integrate the video solution into it. This has made videosites cumbersome and complex, requiring large budgets and well-proven business cases.
“23 Video changes this by being a full video website, a videosite, out of the box combined with industry leading video capabilities. This makes it possible to start a videosite in minutes and customize it to your organization’s needs in days.
“Breakthrough pricing
“Complex and expensive pricing models have caused organizations not to adopt videosites because they couldn’t afford it or because they couldn’t budget for it. 23 Video changes this by offering one product and one transparent price. 23 Video doesn’t require any upfront costs and doesn’t need to add no extra modules.
“23 Video is just 675 US dollars a month (including 1 Terabyte of traffic per month) making it possible for all organizations to have a videosite of the quality of cnn.com or ted.com at a very affordable price.
“During our preview period, we’ve already seen multiple customers creating several videosites. That’s our vision, to turn creating a new site into something you just do in an organization when an opportunity or need arises. With your web designer or agency to help you customize and design the videosite, just like they’d normally do for any other website.” says Steffen Tiedemann Christensen, co-founder of 23.
“Reinvent everything with video
“Applications for videosites are many, just like for text-centric websites. (((I’d be guessing we’re running a “text-centric website” here at Beyond the Beyond, but jeez, these days, you never know.))) Basic videosections on a corporate homepage. Separate brandchannels or webtv sites. (((”brandchannels”)))
“Ecommerce sites, videosites for learning, campaigns or competitions where users can participate by uploading videos. Having an internal YouTube for all employees to share videos. Media brands adding video with their own advertising. Events boosting their reach by sharing videos like ted.com. Or creating new innovative products and services with a videosite.
“Industry analysts Gartner estimates 25% of organizational communication and interaction to be video-based in 2013. (((That’s kind of horrifying. There must be a Gartner video about video. I bet it’s really jerky and kinda awful-looking, too.)))
“We’re just starting to scratch the organizational potential for using video. Organizations are reinventing how they communicate by shifting from text-centric websites to videosites.” says Thomas Madsen-Mygdal, co-founder of 23. (((Well, he’s a fun guy, so I guess it wouldn’t kill me if he made a billion dollars helping people shove video at each other.)))
“100 global partners
“To really allow videosites to become integrated into every type of process and every industry 23 Video leverages a partner model. Working with web agencies, communication agencies, advertising agencies and innovation consultancies that are using 23 Video to build videosites for their customers. 23 Video launches with one hundred partner partners in more than 10 countries and an open partner program to engage even more.
“Full video capabilities (((I wonder what “full video capabilities” means 10 years from now — probably something like “every street in Shoreditch analyzed in realtime with Infrared geolocative trackers”)))
23 Video ships with industry leading video capabilities with no limitations or extra modules to buy.
