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.
A media buyer recently approached me to see if YouTube “stars” could beat .05 on a cost-per-view basis. It was such an odd question, and one that made me realize we’re still comparing apples to oranges. As I answered the question (yes, but…) I found myself drawing analogies to a more familiar digital medium: search…
I’ve been blogging for 3 plus years, and suddenly I get almost no views from search engines. What’s this blog doing to piss off Google? It used to rank incredibly. Too many links to/from my YouTube channel? Some stupid mistake on the hosting? Pissed off Sergio?
We spend more time watching online videos than having sex.
Hitwise reported recently on the dramatic growth of online-video viewing in the UK. Time to start faking a Brittish accent in my vlogs. The most interesting part of this, for me, is that YouTube’s total traffic is higher than the next 10 properties combined. And YouTube’s 69% share of the top 10 is followed by…
It’s called “A woman missed her flight at the boarding gate HKIA” and it’s quite sad and funny. Of course, she was missing Oceanic Flight 815, so it could be worse. Sample comments. Let’s see you top them. perhaps she didn´t make it home in time to watch “dancing with stars” or “american idol” Geez,…
You’ve got to love tomorrow’s Washington Post story titled “What Happened to YouTube Star Brandon Hardesty.” It documents the rise and (implied) fall of Hardesty (see his YouTube channel) Three years ago, Brandon Hardesty, then 19, was a grocery clerk and college student living in his parents’ Baltimore home. He logged on to YouTube regularly…

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.
