Leading Hockey Website Brings Interactive Video to Its Community With Eyespot’s Video Hosting, Publishing and Editing Applications
SAN DIEGO, CA–( EMWNews – April 2, 2008) – FASTHockey (www.FASTHockey.com) is a vibrant
online community for hockey players, coaches, fans, families, and anyone
passionate about the sport. To meet increased demand for online video and
to further fuel the Website’s growth, FASTHockey will use Eyespot’s Video
Personalization Suite (www.eyespotnetwork.com) to let members view games,
create and edit highlight and recruiting reels, upload videos and share
content online and via mobile.
“For us, video has always been a necessity,” said Marc Ruskin, President of
FASTHockey. “Now, we’re moving beyond a passive experience to give our
community meaningful ways to interact with the content on our site. Many
Websites let users watch video; Eyespot lets us create a highly personal
experience for our members — users get in the game and play with the
content. Equipped with a cost-effective, reliable, scalable video solution,
we can dedicate our development resources to building our community.”
Eyespot counts leading sports content providers including The NBA and Fox
Sports among its clients; its recently released Video Personalization
Suites makes Eyespot’s applications available to any-sized Website looking
to drive loyalty and viral sharing with online video.
Eyespot’s Video Personalization Suite can be up and running on any site in
a matter of hours through a simple self-provisioning process, and includes:
-- Video hosting, video streaming, video moderation, and video editing tools, delivered in a software-as-a-service model -- Applications that let consumers upload videos and view and share content online and via mobile, all from a publisher's own Website -- The ability to manage, combine, and distribute both professional and user-generated content -- A library of more than 1,000,000 rights-cleared videos, music and photos -- In-stream video advertising from leading networks including Google AdSense for Video, Tremor Media, Adap.tv, YouMe, and others -- The option to leverage the Eyespot network for content syndication for added reach and visibility -- Free (ad-supported) or low-cost monthly subscription offerings
“FASTHockey has quickly grown from a recruiting-focused Web site to one of
the most popular destinations for hockey enthusiasts — a significant
transformation based on its deep understanding of what the online hockey
community wants and needs,” said Jim Kaskade, President and CEO of Eyespot.
“Our role is to provide the services and tools needed to create an engaging
consumer experience in a competitive market, and to let our customers focus
on their core businesses. Online video is moving from a nice-to-have
amenity to a must-have component for driving impressions, viral sharing,
and monetization; clients like FASTHockey are ahead of the curve in putting
online video to work for them as they build an active community.”
