Site Enhancement: YouTube Data API

By dooshare Innovation, Site Enhancements, Video No Comments »

ytpoweredWe are very excited to announce two recent enhancements to Dooshare that leverage the YouTube Data API.

YouTube Connect:
Our first API enhancement added the ability to authenticate with YouTube and access your account right from DooShare.

With this integration, you are able to retrieve your videos hosted on YouTube, edit them, delete them, and easily syndicate them to DooShare via a customized embed.

The integration also permits the user to upload a video directly to YouTube – all the while staying on DooShare. Once the video has been uploaded to YouTube – that video is then available along with the rest of the users videos (retrieve them, edit them, delete them, and syndicate them to DooShare). We feel this offers our users a sense of convenience and confidence to know their videos are hosted, served and ‘Powered by YouTube’.

Video Search:
Our second API enhancement add an enhanced video search ‘Powered by YouTube’. We understand that there will be instances where DooShare may not have the video you are really looking for – so now you have the ability to search YouTube for that particular video. Be it a funny video you heard about or a particular product review – now you can search conveniently from DooShare.

Furthermore, both API integrations, YouTube Connect and Video Search, have been fully integrated into DooShare Video Classifieds. So now, it is easily than ever to add a video to any classified listing. Find it on DooShare, upload it to DooShare or YouTube, or search YouTube. Chances are – you will find what you are looking for.

To access either – click the below links:

Update: Apply-As-You-Go Credit System

By dooshare Classified Ads, Site Enhancements No Comments »

Quick update on our unique Apply-As-You-Go credit based classifieds service. Weather you are using the starter credits provided upon sign-up, or credits purchased from the store – we are offering a lot of flexibiltility on how you choose to use, or apply, the credits you have.

We understand that all classified ads are unique and have varying levels of complexity. Some items you may be selling are pretty straight forward – and perhaps only need a paragraph of text and a photo. Other items can be far more complex – such as listing a house or a car. In this case, you may want to add a walk-around tour video, many photos, a map and perhaps a web link back to real estate agent, or auto dealer website.

In each of the above cases, we believe you should only have to pay for what you use. Thus, our Apply-As-You-Go credit based system. You are free to apply your credits in order to optimize your listings as you see the need.

    Our Simple Apply-As-You-Go Credit Structure:

  • Ad Submission: 1 Credit
  • Video: 2 Credits
  • Google Map: 1 Credit
  • Photos: 1 Credit Per Photo (i.e. 3 Photos = 3 Credits)

In the end, the more bells and whistles you add to your classified listing, the more credits it will require. Keep in mind, it is pretty reasonable even when you have added all the goodies!

Now, you may be asking why DooShare even charges credits to post classified ads – when there are so many free classified options out there.

Simple. Quality is a top priority for us here at DooShare.

We sincerely believe that having to purchase either credits and a subscription to post classified ads will greatly improve the overall quality of posts.

We hope that the fee required to purchase credits or a subscription will weed out the low-value ‘junk’ posts.

This will, in turn, improve the overall quality of the user experience.

We want our users – posters and seekers – to be successful. Your success is our success.

Now – give the system a whirl – take it for a test drive and post your items to your hearts content.

Believe it or not, we recently performed a significant update to the classifieds area which included many enhancements – one of which is a core ecommerce platform. We are VERY exicted about our new ecommerce engine – since we now have the capability to charge for classified ad placement as well as for ‘premium’ ad enhancements.

For now, and for a limited time, our members can test out our classifieds area for FREE. In fact, we are planning a promotional offer granting all new and exisiting members a bank of DooShare Credits that can be used to posts ads, add on premium ad enhancements and really take DooShare Video Classifieds for a test drive.  

So if you have not done so already, create an account, find something you want to sell, make a short video demonstrating the product, post the video and then create a classified ad. Pretty simple!

If you need help uploading a video, or how to post a classified ad check out our tutorial videos:

Update: Video Classifieds Launch

By dooshare Classified Ads, Site Enhancements, Video No Comments »

We are very excited to announce that we have soft launched our video classifieds service. We believe DooShare is taking online classifieds to a whole new level. Going well beyond static classifieds ads with limited text and perhaps a photo or two. Now you can add the following to your classifieds:

  • Rich video to help sell your goods and services (virtual tours, 360 degree walk-arounds, product demonstrations, etc…)
  • Add up to 9 photos per listing to show every angle
  • Add an interactive map powered by Google Maps
  • Include a link to your website
  • Socially share your classifieds listings on sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and many more
  • Automatic distribution to DooShare Video when you post an ad and soon you will be able to sponsor your own video and include links back to your classified ad! See image below or see here ->  See Here

Classifieds Mid-Roll Overlay

 

To see an example of a classified listing for an idea of what is possible please go here -> See Here

As always, this is only a start and we plan to continue our efforts to bring new and fun innovation to DooShare.

Innovation: Facebook Connect

By dooshare Innovation, Site Enhancements No Comments »

Innovation is in our DNA and we strive to stay on top of key market trends. One trend that has caught our eye, are the number of sites implementing Facebook Connect.

Not sure if you all caught the what CNN did with Facebook Connect around the Obama Inaugration a few months back. Simply fabulous integration and we found it quite eye opening!

If you are not familiar with Facebook Connect, it offers a simple way to ‘CONNECT’ your presence on Facebook with a website. A way to securely and safely log-in to a site using your Facebook credentials.

We know you love your Facebook and we love it too!

We believe Facebook Connect would be a nice enhancement to the DooShare experience. In fact, we think this would be something our users would appreciate and actually prefer as a means to ‘CONNECT’ with DooShare. We mean, why would you want to create a separate account with DooShare – when you can simply choose to log-in using your existing account with Facebook. Lets keep it simple!

Aside from an easier way to log-in, there are other  potential benefits of adding Facebook Connect to a website like DooShare. Like being able to share your experience on DooShare with your friends on Facebook. Obviously, on your terms – WHEN and WHAT gets shared. Totally up to you!

Things like…

  • You post a video on DooShare…you can easily add it to your newsfeed within your Facebook profile.
  • Or, you comment on a video…and feel compelled…you can share your comment and video within your newsfeed on Facebook.
  • Or, you can invite your friends on Facebook to join you on DooShare.

It’s all about sharing things that are important to you – on your terms. Plus, we want to create the best possible user experience!

Curious to hear your thoughts…so we have posted a quick poll. Please let us know what you think. Take the poll!

 






Thanks and appreciate your feedback! We will be sure to keep you posted on our progress and let you know what our users have told us.

Update: Cleaner Experience

By dooshare Site Enhancements No Comments »

Some of you may have noticed that we made a variety of updates to the site which impacted the overall site appearance. Our goal was create a clean and fresh user experience. Just about every page on the site was impacted by the updates.

Most notably, on the homepage we brought up the ‘Most Recently Viewed’, ‘Featured’, ‘Top Rated’ and ‘Most Viewed’ videos. We know you are here to enjoy a video or two – so lets give you what you want.

We also widened the site considerably. This allowed us to increase the size of the video player. So now you can soak in and enjoy your videos that much more. Of course, you can always go full screen if you prefer. Either way, we hope you enjoy the wide screen viewing experience. This was an important improvement for our users.

Beyond that, there were countless updates all in an effort to provide you a great experience. So Enjoy!
