Eefoof Now VuMe
Eefoof changed to VuMe.com (“view me”). Company has Revver-like ad sharing model but never really worked out for me or others I know. If you’ve had any luck making money on Eefoof or VuMe please comment.
I finally decided that a blog about popular online video was remiss not to include some mention to the “Snakes on a Plane” viral videos. Especially since we’re down to less than a month before the August 18 release date. In case you’ve slept through the past 8 months, here’s the backdrop: Samuel Jackson’s movie…
Ahhh the video contest. Is it a way to engage creators, or for marketers to do “lead gen” (snatch the e-mail address of creators’ friends)? I understand why contests require registration for rating — we wouldn’t want a “Chicago” style election. At the same time, these “one-off” contest websites are maddening. For example, here’s a…
The online video market is getting more crowded. Here’s another revenue-sharing model in the lines of Revver and Eefoof and Motion.tv. It’s called Flixya. I discovered it from some self-promotional comments posted on popular YouTube videos. Looks interesting, but the proof is in the pudding. I’ve asked Marquis to post his earnings to date on…
The Wall Street Journal’s Emily Steel wrote a piece last week about YouTube’s efforts to commercialize itself. Steel titled it “walking the tight rope.” The article includes a Q&A with Suzie Reider, YouTube’s first chief marketing officer. Reider is rapidly expanding her advertising sales and marketing teams, as evidenced by YouTube’s own “we’re hiring” ads…
My wife and I used our babysitter night to buy a bucket tonight. Well actually, it went like this. She said we needed a bucket. So I decided to make a video about how pitiful we are to use a date night to buy a bucket. Then we ditched the video, but ended up doing…
Hannukah may be over, but you can still groove to this hip hop a cappella parody, with lyrics about playing dradel by the candlelight, and the great menorah. It’s the Jewish version of Dynamite (by Taio Cruz). No it’s not the Dalton Academy Choir performing, but the Maccabeats, an a cappella group from Yashiva University.

I havn’t even had success on revver… I need $20 It’s hard enough trying to bring in 50 cent a month.
How am I going to feed my poor helpless children?
How in Christ’s name can someone like VuMe pull in the traffic it would take to pay anyone at this stage of the game?
I mean, seriously, I’m just asking.
When their graphics guy was designing the little “make it, post it, profit!” thing… when he got to “profit” was he laughing, crying, or a bit of both?
And, uh, sorry for dragging Christ into it.
vume still has the same static ,no-paying ads they had months ago,and they had an overheated cpu caused by a dead fan,im not joking,just follow my link,its on their front page.Also,you cant turn off comments and anyone can put any “tag” they choose on your media.what a friggen joke!
Vume is a joke imho. Why on earth would they launch the site and show a half dead programmer talk about how much work they put into it. For all I care it looks like they put about a weeks worth of work as its no where close to what I was expecting. You would think they would do more with the $225k angel fund they received late last year. Best of luck to them.
Hey guys, I’m the half dead programmer. Thanks for your input on the site. We did have an overheated CPU, it’s a resource intensive site, and we had a big flux of traffic – fairly common growing pains of a new site.
The community tagging system means that media gets tagged accurately. The top most common tags per media are used as decided by the community.
Surprising as it may seem, it does take longer than a week to develop a media sharing site from the ground up. Several in fact. Nor is it a finished product…if that’s even possible for a website. We’re constantly striving to enhance and improve.
Keep checking in and watch it grow and you may change your mind about it.
