As an evaluator of web based tools for marketing and promotions I feel Mixpro is at the top of the game.

Mixpro really understand what is needed in the online advertising and marketing space and have created a great platform for filling that need.

Here is a demo video of their platform. Scroll down to see why I think it’s so great.

Why is this tool so great?

1. It is completely web based. Edit videos online and track results.

2. It is template based - they don’t require you to higher a high end graphics team.

3. It meets many of the requirements of a successful web 2.0 application: shareable, actionable, measureable tool that is cross-platform. They also promote providing value to customers, not just talking at them with promotional messages.

4. It meets the technical requirements of the user: adjusts for connection speed and enables photo, audio and video inputs.

5. No paper - an environmentally friendly solution.

They seem to have really thought of the their customers.

I look forward to learning more about their offering and sharing it with you.

Enjoy,
David

They do not provide RSS at this time.

Do they encode in any other formats? Not within Vidego.

They do have standalone trans-coding for other formats.

Does the video powerpoint sync feature come with it? Yes

Videogo does not support podcasting, separate service to host other media formats.
