START-UP LAUNCHES COMPETITIVE NEW VIDEO PLATFORM
Signs Agreement with Mike Tyson Site
Lansdowne, VA/February 11, 2009 -
VOPED, the exciting, new
entrant in online video platform technology, announced today
that it has developed and launched the first of its new
embeddable video applications, the
VOPED Embeddable Video
Platform (EVP).
VOPED's Embeddable Video Platform (EVP) technology is being
rolled-out with three goals in mind for VOPED customers:
affordability for all sizes of online publishers; a high degree
of functionality that raises the profile of video on websites;
and customer options to help monetize video content.
The VOPED EVP can be easily applied to any website at an
affordable cost, and can be customized for a platform that will
suit specific online needs. Soon VOPED will roll out additional
features and services, and will continue to build on valued
partnerships with premier online publishers and websites.
"VOPED is thrilled to introduce an Embeddable Video Platform
(EVP) with a very affordable entry-level price for low-volume
websites, while also providing high scalability, reliability,
and functionality for any high-volume site as well," stated
VOPED Founder and President Mark Serrano in announcing the
launch of the VOPED EVP. "VOPED's EVP offers online publishers
enhanced functionality to engage users, catalogue videos, and
capture both user and member videos. The EVP is intuitive,
affordable and easily applied and managed by customers through
the VOPED Administration Console. Anyone with an online presence
looking for advanced video capabilities to engage and serve
their online audiences will appreciate the flexibility and
affordability of VOPED's EVP," concluded Serrano.
In addition to VOPED's new product and services launch, VOPED
announced a major online agreement with a leader in the digital
marketing industry. SimpleSeason is the digital host for new
micro-sites for celebrity powerhouses like
The Doors,
Mike
Tyson, Janis Joplin and
many others. VOPED and SimpleSeason
recently re-launched the official
Mike Tyson website
(OfficialMikeTyson.com). With the use of VOPED's EVP technology,
notes SimpleSeason Creative Director John Wantz, Mike Tyson fans
may view and share a catalog of Mike Tyson's greatest hits.
"Mike Tyson fans love the features offered by VOPED's EVP. The
ease of viewing the catalog of videos, from Tyson's first
heavyweight championship against Trevor Berbick in 1986 to later
fights, is definitely a hit," declared Wantz.
About VOPED
VOPED is a privately-funded company based in Northern Virginia.
In May 2008 VOPED launched its initial web applications designed
to equip VOPED users with an online platform and tools to
promote user-generated video content, placing VOPED at the nexus
of online interaction between news publishers and news
consumers, as well as other web content publishers. These free
applications provided VOPED with the foundation to develop and
launch its subscription-based, embeddable video applications,
the first of which is the Embeddable Video Platform (EVP).
Future applications under-development include the VOPED Video Ad
Platform which will enable pre- and post-roll video advertising
on videos that will help customers monetize their websites.
VOPED ensures the reliability and scalability of its
applications through a redundant system of computing and
storage; a load-balanced, cloud-based web farm provides easy
scalability to facilitate growth for clients.
