Hey!Spread adds “Video Platforms Cross Posting” feature.

July 30, 2007 – 2:07 pm

Hi People,

We try to be always a step forward being innovative. That’s why, we’ve just added a new feature to Hey!Spread:

“Video Platforms Cross Posting”

Until now, people can only spread videos from their hard disk. But from now, users can sneeze any videos from any networks to any other one. So, people who already have their videos online can also spread it. We built a real bridge between all the video platforms.

For instance, an user who used to upload only to YouTube can now spread over the best network very easily, using the url of the video.

So, enjoy two ways to send your video massively, either from the hard disk or from the Web.

Now, post your videos without any limits.

Hey!Spread: send your videos over the best video networks in one shot

July 6, 2007 – 3:53 pm

Hey!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.

OpenID support

March 12, 2007 – 11:19 am

Hi people,

We’ve added the possibility to access Hey!Watch via your OpenID account for more convenience. For those who don’t know what it is: it lets you access any sites supporting the OpenID protocol without boring registration. You have one identity for all these websites or blogs. Note that if you have an AIM account, or a Wordpress blog hosted on wordpress.com, you have an OpenID!

If you already have an Hey!Watch account, you can merge it with OpenID.

The only issue is if you plan to use the API, you must choose a login and a password in your account page.
