Add Video Comments to a WordPress Blog Using Viddler

As our regular readers will know here at the World Wide Web Gurus we are very excited about the possibilities offered by videos if you are trying to start an internet business with very little money, or indeed no money whatsoever.  Up until now we have been concentrating on video hosting services supported by TubeMogul, particularly YouTube and Revver.

However earlier this week Viddler announced the release of their WordPress video plugin .  Since Viddler also offer a revenue sharing model similar to Revver we thought we would take a much closer look at what the Viddler service has to offer.  To find out what we discovered take a look at this video: 

To summarise our first impressions are that the Viddler service is worthy of a lot of further investigation.  Since we recommend beginner internet marketers join the Amazon associate program, the fact that Viddler have partnered with Amazon to offer revenue sharing to their video publishers is of great interest to us.

As mentioned in the video, the Viddler plugin for WordPress is supposed to allow you to record a video comment to this post direct to your webcam, as long as you already have a Viddler account.  Feel free to experiment with this new service, and let us know how well it works for you.

P.S. The following day (February 29th – most auspicious) Viddler suddenly appeared on my TubeMogul dashboard.  Here is TubeMogul's take on the occasion, and here is Viddler's.  We get a bit closer to Video Heaven!

P.P.S. If you do venture over to Viddler and you're a long time follower of the Open Source movement like me you might like to check out their video conversation with Jonathan Schwartz (CEO of Sun) and Mårten Mickos (now ex CEO of MySQL) about Sun's acquisition of MySQL.
