Mydeo Social
Video Sharing
Great for Family and Friends
Mydeo
is video streaming company that is based in the United Kingdom and has
been recently purchased by Best Buy as they enter the online video
sharing industry.
Best Buy’s venture into this
business is based on the
fact that they reportedly sell one third of all video cameras in the
United States today. They feel that it would be a natural
extension of their business model to offer this social video sharing
service.
Families are seeking social video sharing
website that will allow them to store their videos for family and
friends to view from any where via the Internet.
Concerned families do
not want their videos on more popular video sharing services, because
they are typically open to anyone.
Video
sharing on this site is limited to those who are permitted access to
the video
files. Videos stored on Mydeo are never shown for public viewing. This
video sharing service is primarily for private family or small business
use.
This video sharing ability has advantages for small
businesses that
want a location to place videos of their products and control access
due to copyright infringement or other reasons.
A real estate business
may want to place a video of a home they are selling on the site for
potential buyers to view.
This alleviates the
security concerns that some home sellers my have regarding full public
access to the video. Similar to a lock box on the front door
of the property
that helps keep track of those that enter, My-deo tracks visitors that
view the video.
Subscribers have
the
following benefits:
- Home Users: 30 minute video length
limit and store up to 100
minutes
- Business
Users: 90 minute video length limit and store up to 250
minutes
- Both have tracking of
visitors to videos
- No logo or
watermark by Mydeo on videos
- Subscribes retain full copyright of videos
- Viewing by visitors is free
- Uses Window Media Player as video viewer of
choice
Attributes that
appeal to family and businesses of subscribers are:
- Add videos to
any website
- Send copies of
videos to family or friends
- Send copies to potential customers
- No
advertisements are allowed
- Use any digital
camcorder to record videos
- Easy of use and directions
- Nothing illegal or pornographic is allowed
With
the recent purchase of Mydeo by Best Buy there may be changes to Mydeo
to fit more within Best Buy’s business model and subscribers should pay
attention to any announcements related to this venture.
The monthly cost is
based on the rates on the day this article was written and as the
dollar declines or rises the price will fluctuate.
The
whole basis of My-deo is to provide an online video sharing service for
families that want privacy and small businesses that want to control
access to their videos.
The idea is good, because you do not have to
look far on the Internet to find videos that people do not want the
public to view and yet they appear.
