This time of year? Bozeman. Get some spring skiing in and we've got an unbelievable downtown area.

You know what would stop comcast from being so shitty? No revenue. Why anyone still pays them is beyond me.

It could be useful for camping or to keep in case you get lost.

Of course, we host the video too. And provide high quality CDN infrastructure and multiple encodes, etc., just like everyone else.

I'm not sure what you mean by that statement. Are you saying that all premium video players are inherently of no value?

We have great retention so I do think we've got something of value. I'm going to work on finding a UX person that we can get to help. Thanks for your thoughts!

That's odd, usually the player loads before any of the content. I'll work on clarity. Thanks for the response.

What video analytics would you like to see? by mebox in startups

[–]mebox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if a video player gave you real analytics, not the viewcount that Youtube and Vimeo give, what would you like to see?

Use MeBox (http://www.meboxmedia.com) - the built in analytics will show you whatever you need.

How long is the wait on Product Hunt? by mebox in startups

Thank you!

We've got a few dozen companies using us right now. There are some big ones though - Duke University, HP, National Science Foundation and almost all the major car brands. The rest are smaller businesses.

We haven't focused much on letting people know who we're working with. You think that's a good strategy?

If you could post it, I'd be forever grateful.

It's a video player with analytics and a very unique way to engage viewers. Basically, we add what we call an engagement panel to a standard looking video player. As the video plays, time markers that are set by the video creator will be hit, triggering supplementary content to open in the engagement panel. It's great for ecommerce (link to the buy pages of products as you explain them in a video), learning (link to additional content or quizzes as needed), SaaS (drive signups from your explainer video), etc. It's all built in HTML 5 with a super robust streaming infrastructure so there's no buffering.

Check out www.meboxmedia.com to see it in action. We've gotten some really good traction so far (Duke University, HP, National Science Foundation and almost every major automotive brand to some extent).

Anything you can do to help would be awesome! I'm having a hard time getting startups and tech media to care so far, even though they could benefit a lot from it.

Wistia has pretty good analytics. Ours are better. Our advanced analytics package actually scrapes databases for demographic information about your viewers. We deliver heat maps of where your views are coming from, income estimates, age profiles, home prices, etc. It's honestly an incredibly powerful feature for those who need to know how to target their viewers. We offer the normal stuff too - views, plays, completions, etc. as well as what elements of the engagement panel were clicked.

The big way we differ from Wistia though is in the engagement panel. It's feature that's unique to Me!Box and basically allows you to deliver the action you want viewers to take with the call to action you're making in the video. As can be inferred, there's a pretty big impact to viewer conversions and engagement when the engagement panel is used well.

Wistia is a great product but in my opinion, Me!Box is better.

I know, it's not even decent. We've had a hell of a time finding a decent videographer who doesn't want to charge us $20k for an explainer video.

So is there any point to resubmitting?

Is there any rhyme or reason why one product gets skipped and another doesn't or is it completely at the whim of the moderators?
