Vidly Flip contest has come to an end!

In November 2009, we gave away a Vidly Flip MinoHD every Friday for five consecutive Fridays.

Give a warm congratulations to our five winners:

 

We had a great time running the contest. We also learned that there are thousands of people who use Twitter solely to participate in #hashtag contests, and their tweet streams contain nothing but various contest entries. So, our next contest will be run a little differently.

Next contest, you say?!

Yep! First thing next year we are going to launch a much bigger contest with many more sweet giveaways. Although this time around, it's going to be a little more fun and take a little more work than a simple tweet, any guesses?

- Happy Holidays from the Vidly team!

Auto-post your videos to Facebook and YouTube and a fresh new look!

On Friday, we launched a new Vidly that brings some exciting new features.  Allow me to highlight:

Explore Vidly and discover videos
Vidly now puts more emphasis on the great content that you guys are creating and sharing with Vidly. On the homepage we now have Featured Videos, along with Popular videos, and a real-time feed of what everyone is watching right now on Vidly.


Auto-post videos to other social networks
You can now link your Facebook and YouTube accounts so that any video you upload can be sent out to all of your social networks!  This is our favorite new feature.


New and improved webcam recording
As some of you know, our webcam recorder was having some serious sync issues.  We've fixed all of that and wrapped it with VIdly's beautiful look and feel.


New video player
We've touched up the video player to make it way more interactive.


New look!
Vidly has been growing fast, so we needed to take a step back and redesign Vidly from the ground up to encompass all of the changes and new features that Vidly has to offer.  We hope you like it, and we'd love your feedback!

 

Yours truly,

Chrys Bader
Co-Founder, Vidly

You can now share HD videos on Twitter

We're excited and proud to announce that Vidly is the first Twitter video service to support full 720p HD video.

Traditionally, video on Twitter has been low quality UGC. We want to encourage sharing of high quality content to see Twitter become a real promotional channel for filmmakers, large or small. Twitter's promotional potential is not fully realized, imagine movie trailers and music videos from original content creators.

To celebrate the launch, in partnership with Pure Digital, we're running a contest called "Flip Fridays" where we're giving away Vidly branded Flip MinoHDs every Friday to get everyone in the HD spirit. Flip was kind enough to sponsor the contest to help promote HD on Twitter.

Here's an HD video of iJustine announcing our HD release and explaining the contest!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It's been 2 months and 17 days since we submitted our application to Apple and we're proud to say that 6,739,238 seconds later, it's finally here! 

If you're eager, just go ahead and download the app from the store.

Vidly is an extremely lightweight, fast, and reliable way to upload your videos to Twitter from your iPhone. 

We wanted to keep things simple, and our feature list shows that:

* Optimized upload for the fastest video uploads from the iPhone
* Uninterruptible uploads. Need to exit the app? Slow connection? We'll resume the upload once you open it again.
* No time limits other than the default iPhone limit (10 minutes)
* All videos can be watched by other iPhone users right from Twitter

You can now import your videos from another service

Hey everyone,

We just brought over one of the most popular features from Fliggo: Importing videos from YouTube, Blip, and now TwitVid.

If you want to bring over your favorite videos from your other accounts to your Twitter video library, now you can!

You can find the new "Import" tab on the homepage as of right now.

Here's a quick preview of how it looks:

Enjoy!

Blog widget code available!

Hey guys,

We released the blog widget a while back and we never gave you a way to get the code. That was my fault, and I apologize!

Now, you can get the blog widget code by logging in to Vidly and going to your profile page.

Let us know if you have any issues, we're happy to help!

P.S. You can now also delete videos from your profile page.

We updated the homepage and webcam recording and we want your feedback!

Vidly folk,

 If you haven't already seen, we have made some minor changes to the homepage to simplify the uploading process. We'd love to hear your feedback on the changes.

 

 As you can see we shifted some things around. You can now record a new video directly from the homepage instead of going to another tab.

 We also made updates to the webcam software so you can more easily choose your webcam and quality settings.

 We'd love to hear any feedback you have regarding these changes. Let us know if you have any issues!
