Upload your video to several sites at once with Hey!Spread

If you want to get your video seen, really seen, then chances are you upload it to a couple of different video sharing sites. But who has the time to do that?

We wrote about TubeMogul in July, a site that allows you to upload your video to a bunch of sites at once, and now we've come across Hey!Spread another site that will do all your dirty work for you.

Hey!Spread is from the same company that created the Hey!Watch file converter. Hey!Spread can upload video to Sclipo, Sumo, Sevenload, YouTube, Google, Dailymotion, Blip, Metacafe, Yahoo, Facebook, Myspace, Vimeno, Revver, Veoh, Vsocial, Photobucket, and Putfile. You give the site your log-in creds for the sites you're interesting in uploading your video to, upload a video file, press start and then Hey!Spread will convert your video appropriately for each site you specified and upload it, sending you an email when the job is done.

Besides being able to upload your video to tons of places at once Hey!Spread can also watermark your videos for you and can take a video you already have on YouTube and distribute it to other sites using the videos YouTube URL.

Hey!Spread was free until January of this year and is now charging users $.05 per video site it uploads your video to. Depending on your video needs, it's ability watermark, pull from YouTube, and upload to twenty sites instead of TubeMoguls 13 may make it worth the expense. TubeMogul is currently free.

Upload and convert videos to any format with Hey!Watch

heywatch online video encodingIf you ever have the need to convert video formats on the fly, but just don't seem to have the proper applications available that can do it for you, Hey!Watch might do the trick for you. Hey!Watch, which officially launched on January 10th, is a simple online solution that lets users upload videos, or point to online videos from locations like YouTube, Google Video and other social networks, and have them encode the video in any format. How does it work? Create an account, point to the online video, or video file on your local computer and upload. Hey!Watch displays a transfer status bar on the the screen with a time frame count down, with a list of your actions on the site. When the video has been uploaded, it will display in a "Raw" video section. Click the Raw video you wish to convert, and choose your encoding setting. There are a wide array of encoding options ranging from different iPod ranges, avi, asf, mov, Playstation, Nintendo, Nokia 770, Pocket PC, Wii, Zune, DivX, Flash video, Mpeg, TiVo, mp3, aac, and WMV. If you don't find your video encoding option here, chances are that you don't need that format.

Uploading a two minute video from YouTube took me roughly two minutes. Then encoding that video to an iPod 16:9 took less than a minute. From there, downloading the completed video to my desktop took seconds. Hey!Watch will also show a complete list of all Encoded videos, and Raw videos you have made under your profile. Making it easy to go back and change encoding settings. Hey!Watch also has a mobile version where videos can be uploaded though a mobile dashboard.

The Hey!Watch service is free for 10 monthly encoding sessions, then requires a $4.99 monthly fee for more than 10, and up to 100 monthly encoding sessions.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
