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.
The New York Times wrote recently about the first video ever posted on YouTube. Here’s Jawed Karim telling us that he’s standing in front of the elephants. Further, he explains that the “cool” thing about elephants is that they have really long trunks. Karim would later update his video to show an annotation that points…
“The problem isn’t cost, it’s revenue,” writes WatchMojo CEO Ashkan Karbashfrooshan in a MediaPost story titled “What Revision3’s Sale Means for the Online Video Industry.” Indeed while I’ve long urged marketers and media providers to keep costs down for online video, that’s because revenue (via ad-sharing) is modest and dependent on finding an audience. There’s no cost…
Sorry, online-video stars of 2011 and 2012. Seems your future is “asymptotical,” according to this report by SFGate titled “Inside Google’s Boot Camp for Viral Video Stars.” The New York Times covered the recent program for the “chosen” YouTube Partners that were selected as YouTube NextUp winners (see explanation of program). Yeah I had to…
WSJ writer Lee Gomes talked to some of the web legends about how to become famous. Here’s his article, which includes quotes from Numa Numa, EepyBird, Chocolate Rain. If you can think of an online cliche, a one-hit wonder, a 16th minute of fame…. then he interviewed ’em. “To be sure, being the latest, greatest…
In a recent WillVideoForFood Forum post, I invited people to submit their “must read” blogs and websites on the subject of online video. As you can imagine, it’s very difficult to find these on Google. Here’s an initial list, and I’m going to be making a video featuring the best sources. So please let me…
I've always maintained that web video can't be longer than 30 seconds to 2 minutes, but this 6-minute clip (Bus Uncle) provide otherwise- it will entertain you silly and you'll soon be quoting it. Some poor 23-year-old in a Hong Kong bus tapped the shoulder of a real estate agent who was talking loudly on…

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.
