TechnoGeekery Show #30: Send Videos… One Click!
Posted on May. 23, 2008 by cat in Featured, Just For Fun Stuff
Click HERE to leave Chassy Cat a RAVE REVIEW at iTunes for her Podcast O’ TechnoGeekery.
TechnoGeekery with Chassy Cat is brought to you by Aveeno Baby. Check them out!
IMPORTANT: Chassy Cat needs your videos! I’ve written a song for this occasion.
To prove I have friends, I need your videos now…
Send whatever you want, except porn ain’t allowed!
In order to assist you in the giving of your silly/informative/awesome/musical/modern dancey/whateverexceptnotporn videos, watch today’s show to learn a little info about “one-click hosting” services, and how that will make sending videos and other large files (pictures, documents, music) SO MUCH EASIER.
Best of all? Totally FREE! (Well, in most cases. But there’s no reason to pay for the service when there are so many free ones out there! Just sayin’!)
Thanks to Daria from Boutique Cafe, and Paige from Mommycast, for the awesome videos! Seriously, TechnoGeeks, send whatever… just send it!
Chassy Cat’s two favorite FREE one-click hosting sites:
YouSendIt (Lite Account is FREE)
Other Services:
RapidShare: It’s not pretty, but it’s been around for a long time; some internet service providers (ISP’s) may block it (100 MB limit for free folders).
Box.net : Popular for simplicity; offers 1GB of free space.
Drop.io: No email signup and no accounts; best suited for smaller files (100 MB limit).
Window Live SkyDrive: Password-protected online file storage; requires a Windows Live account.
MediaFire: No email signup; like Drop.io, best suited for smaller files (100 MB limit for free accounts).
(Another VERY cool application I’m looking into is DropBox, which is a beta syncing application. More on that at a later date! If anyone has tried it, leave a comment, or email me with your review, yo?)
Wikipedia rates some of the top services HERE.
REMEMBER: Don’t be a PIRATE! (arrrg!) Send files responsibly.
Music in this podcast provided by the Podsafe Music Network, with Remember by Black Lab, and Prove People Watch by Chassy Cat.

Hey ChassyCat,
Gail from mDialog.com. Just watched your episode about sending videos. One Click sounds like a great service…that i’ll check out. But we also have a cool way you can get everyone to get their videos to you with mDialog. Just make your Channel on mDialog a ‘Contribute’ channel. It’s our version of ‘video dialoging’. That way, anyone can upload videos to your channel…you take a look at them…and approve them. And then everyone can see all the videos that you’re receiving. Of course, if there is that someone who decides to send something a bit racy, you can also reject it from appearing. And if you want to embed the channel in your own blog or website, you can still make it a ‘Contribute’ channel. Give it a try!
You can get me at grivett@mdialog.com. I’d love to explain it to you.

Thanks, Gail! I created a TechnoGeekery with Chassy Cat Channel at mdialog and have the video player in my latest post at my blog, Desperate Working Momma. I’ve actually been playing with mdialog lately, as my friend C.C. Chapman mentioned it a while back and I was intrigued…

Daria, you are Hilarious!
Love the Starbucks Mommy- can we have more? MUCH more of other ‘types’ of Mommies? Envision an entire series….
7-11 Mommy, Walmart Mommy, Macy’s Mommy,Rodeo Drive Mommy….you get the gist…

I really want to get my little paws on this! I can already feel my GPA going down until I finish the game!
