Your Truman Show releases VideoMap for visual graph of friends and videos

343366_yourtrumanshow.gifYour Truman Show released its VideoMap application, which it previewed during the last DEMOFall 2007. VideoMap adds a new dimension to the web by enabling online video enthusiasts to visually discover and share content and connect with friends across popular social networks from inside the embeddable widget – wherever the videos reside on the web.

VideoMap provides a graphical video relationship map that lets users see who links to them and who they link to as well as the video content they have collected and wish to share. They can populate their own VideoMap collection with videos from YouTube accounts, add Facebook friends, and track favorite YouTube channels.

As people hop across their friend’s connections and videos, a graphically rich visual map shows links from person-to-person and video-to-video, enabling tracking and discovery of social relationships and content.

In addition, VideoMap features a search tool to find related content and an innovative “Who has this video” feature displays who else has added it to their collection. YourTrumanShow’s patent-pending social search engine analyzes the collections of users who share a particular video to find other relevant content and recommend it, replacing the need for meta-data and tag-based indexing.

  2. Hi Dennis, You covered Your Truman Show before, so I want to give a preview of something new. We have expanded on the VideoMap paradigm to power an entirely new way to target ads to videos. We are (very) close to an announcement. Would love to give you a preview. Send me an email if you are interested.
