Communities naturally form around common interest - be it a sport, an ideal, a location…
Social Media sites like MySpace and Facebook have grown up to harness the power of these communities.
We let you build your own.
Our team will build you a fully customizable social network.
We'll take care of the back-end of the site, so you can focus on what matters - your members.
You can provide them with premium content, let them build their profiles, upload photos and videos. Let them feel a part of something.
10Duke, the European leader in bespoke social media platforms, today announces the release of VideoSprout (www.VideoSprout.com), a private video sharing service. Free to use, VideoSprout.com allows users to upload and share their video clips across the internet with only the people they choose.
Speaking from the Nordic Tech Tour in Helsinki, Neil Fenton, founder and Chairman of 10Duke comments: "Video cameras and mobile phones have enabled us all to capture special moments like never before, but not everyone wants to post these clips into public video sites. Emailing video clips as attachments causes problems of congested email accounts and many people can't play clips sent to them if they are in the wrong format. VideoSprout solves all of these problems."
Simon Penn, VideoSprout Senior Product Manager, comments: "We developed the service to be easy and simple to use. Anyone who has a video they want to share can register for free, upload the video and send a link to just the people they want. The recipient simply clicks on the link they've been sent and can watch the video streamed directly to their web browser. To make things even simpler, users can import their contacts from Hotmail or Gmail to share their clips, and they can include a text or chat message to send along with the clip."
"People who want to share a video of their child on a family holiday, wedding videos or internal company video messages are just some of the applications VideoSprout can be used for. The most important thing is that users have complete control over who gets invited to watch the video. There are no video galleries like YouTube, and unlike Facebook you can target just a small set of friends, giving total privacy to the content."
VideoSprout was created using the 10Duke Social Media Application Platform in just 10 days. The service can be accessed for free at www.VideoSprout.com.
London, April 2010 - 10Duke, the European leader in bespoke social media platforms, today announces that it has partnered with Jongleurs, the leading brand in British comedy, to assist with the distribution and monetisation of Jongleurs video content throughout online and mobile channels.
Maria Kempinska, Jongleurs' founder comments: "We're looking to extend the Jongelurs brand across the Internet so that fans can access clips of Britain's best comedians online from wherever and whenever they want. By partnering with 10Duke we can quickly deliver our content internationally, monetise it through ticket sales, advertising and pay per view, and help up and coming comedians gain international exposure. We chose to partner with 10Duke because of the reach it gives us to social media cost effectively and easily."
Neil Fenton, founder and Chairman of 10Duke comments, "When it comes to comedy there is no better brand out there than Jongleurs. Comedy is one of the most popular categories of video consumed by Internet users and 10Duke's advanced international video streaming capabilities means we can automatically distribute clips of some of the UK's leading comedians to an international audience both online and via mobile. Content remains king, but it is an increasing challenge to get it seen by a fragmented online audience – our platform helps Jongleurs to meet that challenge.
The 10Duke social media engine allows Jongleurs' videos to be quickly and simply syndicated throughout many of the leading social networks online, including Facebook, MySpace, and Orkut. The content is intelligently tagged to increase its visibility to search engines, and formatted for simultaneous distribution to mobile devices. Content can easily be shared between users and simple information tags allows comedy fans to book tickets to see their favourite comedian and enjoy shows online or via a mobile device.
