Vancouver-based VideoClix, a provider of “hotspotting” (i.e. clickable
video) technology, has signed a deal with Revision3, a company that
bills itself as “an actual TV network for the Web” and that develops and
produces original broadband TV shows. Revision3 plans to use
VideoClix’ technology to enable its viewers to click on different objects
within a video–for example, show hosts and products–in order to
access additional information and “interesting facts.” The first
Revision3 show to employ the technology is one of the company’s most
popular, “DiggNation,” which began using it April 11th. Other shows
set to offer hotspotting as a result of the deal include “Internet
Superstar,” “Tekzilla” and “The Totally Rad Show.” “I’ve always been
a curious TV viewer, wanting more information immediately,”
Revision3 CEO, Jim Louderback, said in a prepared statement.
“VideoClix allows Revision3 viewers to satiate their curiosity instantly
and enhance their engagement with the product at hand. This
technology is a boon to viewers, to our producers and to the advertisers of Revision3.” Added VideoClix founder and CEO, Babak
Maghfourian: “We are really excited to bring Revision3 on as one of
our anchor content partners for the beta launch of VideoClix.tv. Their
diehard viewers, with their voracious appetite for information and
entertainment, will thoroughly enjoy the VideoClix experience.”

Hi Charles,
I read your article on VideoClix and wanted to let you know about a new interactive video company, Veeple (www.veeple.com). Veeple lets users make anything in a video interactive – that is clickable and linkable. Users can upload any image right into the video and make that linkable. Or, they can insert text, thought and speech captions to make a video more informative, funny, or engaging.
Users can easily share information or links they’ve added with any friend or social networking site. And the advertising and sponsorship opportunities that embedded links provides are endless, since now we can make any product in any video linkable to anywhere or anything. We also have a proprietary analytics engine that allows us to comprehensively measure video viewing patterns - i.e. how long it’s viewed, when and where people drop off, the rate at which they drop-off, and identify which spots are being shared and which are most interacted with.
Veeple’s interactivity capabilities, coupled with our analytics engine, give us a really cool tool that we wanted to share with you. You can check Veeple out today, at http://www.veeple.com. Or please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss Veeple or would like more information about what we are doing. I’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
Sincerely,
Stacey Hurwitz
Veeple Vice President of Marketing
