Magnify.net, a peer-driven online video discovery and broadcast channel for websites, groups and businesses, is experiencing a huge surge in traffic that can be attributed to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike that has forced many popular TV shows into reruns.
Magnify.net lets people create and run an online, “themed” TV station out of their home or office. Unlike typical social networks that host video and connect people, Magnify.net provides the tools and resources to discover, review, organize and broadcast themed video – regardless of where it’s hosted. Videos can be easily collected from other networks including YouTube, Metacafe, Dailymotion, Yahoo!, ClipSyndicate, Veoh, and Revver, or uploaded directly. Users can fully customize their channels to reflect their personal or corporate brand as well as share ad pages through the Magnify Ad Share Network to also monetize traffic.
The strike began officially on November 5, 2007. Since then, Magnify.net weekly visits are up 70%. Weekly page views in the same period are up 40%.
