Welcome to Mixercast!

May 20, 2007 · Filed under From our CEO

Today is a great day here at Mixercast. We got “crunched”

Mixercast on Techcrunch

Our awesome tech team has been hard at work making the Mixercast experience great for you. Check back often for cool new features.

Just in case you missed this one- the RSS feed reader, its now available in the Properties section of our Designer. You can set up any multimedia RSS feed to be included in your Mixercast. So if you are heading to a party, take some cool pics with your mobile phone camera while you are there. Upload the pics to your favorite photo site, and create an RSS feed from that site directly in the Mixercast. Once your pics are uploaded from your phone to the web service, they will automatically appear in your Mixercast - whereever, it lives (on your Myspace page, your Bebo, your Xanga, your hi5… you get the picture pun intended))

Try it, enjoy it!

How to have a custom Mixercasts size of your choice?

May 11, 2007 · Filed under Tips & Tricks

When you try to embed a Mixercast to your site/blog or anywhere else, you usually see those fixed width and height.

width="517" height="411"

Well, the Mixercast Player or the embed player that you embed is totally liquid and resizeable in its core, so, you’re free to set that to the size you like. You can se the above to a typical Large Rectangle Advertisement size of 336 x 280 pixel.

width="336" height="280"

Sometimes, you may like to set it to 100% width of your blog’s column but restrict the height -

width="100%" height="400"

Note: It is best to restrict the height as some browsers don’t really react well to a “100%” height.

May 10, 2007 · Filed under General

Audiences, users, contributors and investors seem to have tremendous confidence in the Internet Media manipulation business these days. In a rather earth shaking news for the Internet-Media world, Techcrunch have reported that Joost has garnered a whooping $45 million in venture round of financing. Some of the lucky investors (wow! this time, it is the investors who want some part of the juice) include Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures, CBS Corporation, Viacom and Chinese billionaire Li Ka-shing. Viacom and CBS have also signed content deals with Joost.

*Nanocast was founded with one goal:*

To give people the power to easily create their own widgets.

All widgets today look the same, because they all come from a few places. They’re just not good enough. With Nanocast you can now create your own, personalize it with your own media and have a widget nobody else has.

Your party invitation no longer has to fit a set format determined years ago by a web site. You can make your own, add your video (never been done before), add a collage of pictures (never been done before), track whoever views it (never been done before), and make money every time it is views (definitely never done before). Same is true for personals, classifieds, flyers. You can even create your own TV channel with a nanocast. Every time you upload a video, your audience gets it wherever they’ve put your widget. The possibilities are endless.

Nanocast was founded in early 2006. We wanted to build a product that we would love to use ourselves. We are funded by Comventures, a top tier venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. Read more about us at our blog. For more information contact Adarbad.master@nanocast.com or Keyur Patel, kpatel@comventures.com

Nanocast was an idea to take advantage of the convergence of media and The Internet whereby broadcasting is made easy, simple and fun to share with anybody across the internet. Nanocast can be best described as “Adobe for Rich Media”. With Nanocast you can share, broadcast, advertise your rich media content, including but not limited to images, video, audio and text. It also enables you to track and monetize any rich media asset you have.

We’re proud of the fact that we have used some of the bleeding edge technologies to create a High End Tool to manipulate, create and share Rich-Media contents. Nonetheless, it won’t be surprising to notice that Nanocast is as easy to use and simple to tune to. We will keep pushing the envelope of Technology to provide everybody with easy to use tools. At nanocast, we believe in empowering consumers, organizations to become media distributors at the micro levels. Nanocast can help you let the world know you and your context.

*Nanocast and Advertisement*

The fundamental problem for an advertiser lies in reaching the target audience with an attractive message. A deeper problem is the identification of the audience and gauging the success of the message. Nanocast solves both of these problems. An advertiser now has a tool to create rich media ads that combine slide shows and video. More importantly, they can track everything a consumer does with the ad, including what pieces within the ad they interacted with.

We believe that any communication, whether it is about personality, skills, goods and services or thoughts, is an advertisement. We believe that people are forever trying to gather an audience that views their accomplishments, admires their property or buys their product. Nanocast is a service that mediates between advertisers and their audience.

*Nanocast Editor – Creator – Composer*

Nanocast allows anyone with moderate computer and artistic skills to create a very rich and polished advertisement, aka a Nanocast. Our Rich-Media Composer or the Nanocast Editor or the Nanocast Creator, a next-gen tool available on the web site, allows users to composite image, video, audio and text into a vibrant message. Using the same, a user can create a Nanocast that contains anything from a simple video to a complex interactive media show with captions, effects, backgrounds, and animations.

*How do Nanocast help distribute your contents*

Via the social network of their friends or organization membership. Nanocasts can be made public for wide distribution or marked private for closed group viewing.
As an embed in any web site that supports such an activity. Nanocast supports embeds in all major Web 2.0 web sites (think MySpace, Blogger, et al), as well as sites such as eBay.
Using RSS Feed syndication users can keep track of Nanocast feeds within the aggregators of their choice.

*Track your Nanocasts*

The Nanocast Tracking Service allows users to collect information on viewership of their Nanocasts. Statistics are collected on viewers, view count, geographic location, and host of other data. Nanocast reports all such data with detailed analysis while preserving privacy of the viewers.

*Social Community*

Nanocast is building a community that is highly motivated to create and publish advertisements via rich-media. The service is free for all. It is free to create, free to view, free to distribute and free to syndicate.

*Feedback*

We encourage comments, suggestion, flames, and other useful invective. Our Blog can be used to keep up to date on all the latest Nanocast developments.
