Vodpod at One

It was a year ago today that we launched Vodpod with a goal to help people collect videos from 1000s of sites on the web; and to share their collections with their friends, on their blogs, or on their social networks.

To celebrate, we thought about throwing a party but decided to build new some new features.

Today we’ve released important updates to our service that provide more powerful and flexible ways for our members to share their collections on their blogs; and new ways to find the best videos through our members’ collections:

1. Four brand new widgets for bloggers, in various forms and sizing, all with “paging” so your readers can surf through your entire Vodpod collection, without having to leave your blog.

2. New and improved search.

3. An expanded “set of ways” to help you to discover videos through our members and their collections.

4. An API, and the first product built off of it, an advanced video gallery plugin for WordPress.

We’ve had a blast this past year. Thanks to all of you who have tried Vodpod, especially those of you who amaze us and amuse us with your great video collections.
