Hey!Spread: send your videos over the best video networks in one shot
July 6, 2007 – 3:53 pmHey!Spread was released to meet an obvious but unsatisfied need: sending videos to the best online video services in one shot.
For now, spreading videos is something extremely boring and time consuming. Actually, It is not convenient to upload to more than two networks. All must be hand-made, so that limits the distribution potential and the exposure. In one word, the BUZZ. And this lack of visibility considerably reduces the impact of any web campaigns.
Hopefully, Hey!Spread makes the BUZZ dead simple for everybody: Individuals, Companies, Marketers, Web Agencies, Artists. They all want to promote and highlight their content. They all need to mass communicate and make their viral & social campaign successful. We make their wish come true.

I just discovered your site in the TechCrunch article. Your services seem to be awesome and are exactly the kind of encoding a multiple free-video-hosting publishing solution. I am really looking forward to trying your services out for my video-blogs. This is great! Now I am happy!

Great site!!
How about translating the interface?
I18n is very important for some users.
Thanks

It’s a really cool & easy Tool.
I will test it.
Read about testing in my Blog.
How about other like sevenload and iFilm?

Many thanks for all your support. We are so pleased you enjoy the service. Remember it’s still a Beta version. We are improving it.
So, two things:
1- Multilanguage is part of our strategy. It may come soon.
2- We are currently negotiating with new services, especially with Sevenload.
Go on and send us your feedback.
Eric.

Looks like a great service - my one concern is handing over all my account info… you say it’s stored in the session, is that the only place it’s stored? Does that mean that if I want to use this on multiple systems/browsers I have to re-enter all my login info each time?

Will Hey!Spread be integrated with Hey!Watch so that encoded videos can automatically be uploaded to online video services?
By Frank on Jul 24, 2007
@Evan: Yes, only in the session. For the moment, you need to fill the credentials on all the computers, but we’re working harder to find a secure solution to save them.
@Frank: Actually, it will be the inverse. From HeySpread, you will be able to upload the video to your HeyWatch account and then encode the video automatically.

This is such a cool service and you have made it free (for now :) )
Let me know if I can help in anyway, I got coders, developers, designers that can assist as we custom do web development apps.
Sweet, you best of emailing me guys.

@Bruno: I was rather hoping to use Hey!Watch to encode a video into multiple formats and automatically upload them to video sharing sites, ie. blip.tv
By Frank on Jul 26, 2007
@Azzam: Thanks for your support :) If we need help, we’ll let you know.
@Frank: I understood your point, but if it’s the raw video or the encoded video which is being spreaded, there is no difference. It makes more sens to us if HS uploads the video to HW. What you have in mind?
By Bruno Celeste on Jul 26, 2007
@Bruno: I was thinking of starting a video podcast. I would upload the raw video to HW to encode in to multiple formats (720p, WMV, iPod, etc.) and have them all uploaded to blip.tv, which would host the podcast, as alternate formats of the same video (a feature of blip.tv).

I see. If you’re a programmer, this should be very easy once the HeySpread API is released (ie really soon).
By Bruno Celeste on Jul 26, 2007
True, but it would cost me bandwidth to download the videos from HW and upload them to HS. Would you consider including in the HeySpread API the ability to accept a HW video ID as a source?
By Frank on Jul 26, 2007
Yes, we’ll accept video URL, so it will be possible to transfer an HeyWatch video (or other sites) to HeySpread.

sweet!
