AnywhereMan: What I’ve Learned About YouTube, Vimeo, and Viddler

  • Colin Devroe · 3 months ago
    Hi Dave. We at Viddler appreciate you including us in this post and we all think you've nailed each of these services. For a while we didn't think of ourselves as "the business class" of online video but after we saw an overwhelming need in that space we decided to go after it.

    We're very happy that you've seen that shift in us as well.

    Again, thanks for including us in this post and for letting your readers know about us.

    so cool! I think this is what @ijustine must use for all her videos.

    Yes! I got the idea for the cheap IKEA greenscreen from iJustine herself! Good catch, Stacey.

    I love comparisons like this. I reckon you hit each service spot on!

    I was a little taken aback by Viddler being placed under the business category, but then I thought about it and realised there are a lot of awesome businesses using Viddler. There's also a huge community of video bloggers, like iJustine, too.

    HD is still in beta right now. Partners and B2B customers are testing it out, but if you're interested in trying out the beta check out the HD announcement for more info.

    I must admit, I see a lot of sexy videos recorded by Canon 5D Mark II owners on Vimeo. Dang, those HD vids at full screen rock! I can't wait for an Apple tablet so I can just play some of those videos on repeat while it chills at a 45ยบ angle on my desk. I digress.

    Lastly, whatever video player you choose shouldn't be a competition because it's about your content on your website. Our (Viddler's) founder, Rob Sandie, crushed this fundamental idea in this video.

    Giddy post, Dave!

    Man I am drooling over a Canon 5D Mk II like you would not believe. You gotta check out Mike Kobal's vids on Vimeo sometime. Beautiful stuff for sure.

    I'm going to contact Rob and see if I can get in on the HD beta for Viddler. I have no problem posting my AnywhereMan stuff to all three sites as long as my HD is preserved.

    Thanks for stopping by!
