TubeMogul and Me.

For the past two years, I have been maintaining and nurturing a creative/production collective that was democratically named INDIE CITY ENTERTAINMENT.

ICE will someday become a fully operational production/entertainment company...

Today... Indie City Entertainment officially registered with TUBE MOGUL

TubeMogul is the first online video analytics and distribution company serving publishers large and small who need independent information about video performance on the Internet and automated upload to the Web's top video sharing sites.”



Currently, only one video has been uploaded and distributed, ASPIRING LINE: EPISODE 2.5. This particular episode will serve has a test run for future episodes of exiting and future web series projects like CATCH: THE WEB SERIES.

ASPIRING LINE 2.5 is available for viewing on the following sites….

There are many more sharing sites available for us to post on… but we are just getting started.

We’ve had a handful of hits on Youtube, which is where most of ICE’s video projects are posted first. A link to the Youtube version was also posted on Facebook, so that attracted a few more views. Most of the other sites have only attracted a few hits (IF THAT).

METACAFE, on the other hand, has, for some unknown reason, accumulated 120 hits. Since we are just getting started on TubeMogul and have little to no knowledge or experience with Metacafe, its hard to say if that some sort of error, a fluke, or maybe MetaCafe has some distribution method that is far superior to any of the other sites.

ICE is brand new to many of these video sharing sites so we don’t have much of a following. Building an audience on any one of the many online channels takes time and persistence: recruiting “Friends,” as well as rating and commenting on a variety of other videos.

There is a reason these sites use the term “Sharing,” and it’s a two way street.

So to all my dear friends, foes, pimps and ho’s…

Could you please do us a HUGE favor and visit some of these sites? Then rate and/or leave a comment?

If a site like Blip.tv or Metacafe requires you to register in order to leave a comment… no sweat… totally understand if you don’t want to do that or have TIME to do that… but if its as simple as a couple clicks…

Your participation/feedback/attention would be MUCH appreciated…

Thanks…and stay tuned!
