New Whistler Real Estate Website w/ Tons of Video

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Dean Linnell contracted Ubertor Approved Vendor SplitMango.com to design him a custom website around the Ubertor platform. The team at SplitMango sent me this:

Not only was our client looking for a new design, but also a way to syndicate their Viddler video account directly on the homepage. As you can see we’ve developed the website to do this all, and with the ease of Ubertor’s powerful system.

Here is what they came up with:

Massive New Feature: Video Syndication and Video Hosting Platform

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

As many of you know, here at Ubertor, we are very excited about online video and have been for quite some time. From our initial push of giving Flip Video Cameras away free at Christmas in 2007 to some lucky Ubertor clients, to the video syndication that we added in August 2008, to the addition of Video training to our sister company Reachd.com.

Today, we are launching the next part of our video feature set. Within the video tab in your Ubertor website you can not only syndicate your videos to YouTube and Viddler but now, you can use our own video player called “Combustion Video” to showcase your videos in a clean, crisp format.

Why did we do this?
Some of our clients have had their videos shut down from video players due to their real estate or commercial content. Some video players do not like real estate content or in some cases anything commercial. We had many clients have this problem. So, we have built our own platform that allows our clients to upload videos without the worrying about being shut down for posting their listings, commentary or real estate related content.

Below is a screen shot from the new video tab
combustion-video-on-ubertor-4

We released the initial version through Twitter for some of our clients to test it out, here is their feedback:
ubertor-video-feedback-6

ubertor-video-feedback-7

video-feedback-12

video-feedback-13

video-ubertor-feedback-14

video-ubertor-feedback-15

The system is live on all Ubertor websites now. Syndication is available to YouTube and Viddler for every client and the Combustion Video player that is hosted on Ubertor is available to clients on the $57 and $77 website plans.

Click live help for our client services team to answer any questions.

If you are not an Ubertor client and want to test it out, no problem, sign up at http://order.ubertor.com/signup – there is NO setup fee, NO contract and NO obligation. Sign up now to give the video system a try!! – Your first 30 Days are FREE.
