I found out about this new video site recently (via the Swedish blog Beta Alfa) called Videofy.me

It’s basically a service that let’s you record and upload videos and then attaches an ad to it all. They then share all ad revenue 50/50 with the content creators. This very much reminds me of Revver, another video site that also try to let you earn money on your videos. I’m not sure but I don’t think the service is a huge success, I haven’t heard anything about it for a few years now. This doesn’t of course mean that Videofy.me can’t make a better more attractive service.

It seems like Videofy.me is aiming towards mobile video content and videos that don’t need any editing (well…). I must say I do have a little hard time to understand how people want to watch mobile video content that for the most of the time isn’t that great. If you take a look at both 12seconds.tv and Robo.to (4 seconds…and for me no sound…) and other mobile video streaming services like Bambuser and Qik it’s hard to find really good and interesting content. At least that’s my opinion. Most people aren’t that good at making unedited mobile video interesting for anyone else but their friends to watch.

I like the user interface of Videofy.me very much though and I absolutely think video will be the next big thing to be embraced by people as long as it’s not too complicated. Wish I guess is exactly what the people behind Videofy.me are trying to do.

So far the service is only available in Sweden and you need to apply for an account. The fact that they use a .me domain is something I love, maybe because we at Urban Lifestyle also have a .me video project going on…. Stay tuned and I’ll tell you more.
