MY VIDEO IS BETTER THAN YOURS!
IS NOT!
IS SO!
Ahh! The sweet sound of competition.
Now, internet video has a new site devoted to sparking competition among videos. Think of it as sibling rivalry coming to You Tube.
http://www.clashorama.com/ is a new entry into the world of online video. The site is designed to encourage competitive interaction between video producers and their world-wide audience. The audience is largely in control.
Viewers can cruise the videos, pick any two they want, and set up a side-by-side comparison. You get to vote using a slider scale. You can also leave comments and ask questions.
Right now, the top two videos battling it out are:
1. Two girls do something stupid and one falls on her head.
2. A guy does something stupid and gets clunked in the head.
So the question of the day is: Who is stupider? Men or women?
A question worth pondering.
(No one ever said internet video was designed for intellectuals.)
Clashorama is powered by proprietary software called Clashware. The site doesn’t actually host the videos, so you have to have a different hosting solution if you want to display your videos on clashorama. You can embed a video hosted from anywhere, such as YouTube or your own server.
Not everything on Clashorama is goofy. They cover some serious issues and there is enough variety to satisfy most internet video viewers.
Developers of the site are also hoping marketers and researchers will see the value of the software for use in product analysis and side-by-side comparisons of different advertising or entertainment products.
Clashware can be incorporated into websites and embedded into viral video campaigns. It’s already quite popular as a tool for online focus groups.
Politics is a natural for competition, so the developers of clashorama made sure to surface during this 2008 presidential election season. They built a sister website just for politics. Campaign videos are linked to www.pollclash.com.
I love that. Watching the campaign videos you want, when you want. Thankfully, something to help you eliminate the clutter of the TV newscasters and just get to the meat of the issue!
As online video technology grows, one thing is certain: There will be more and more audience interaction. www.Clashorama.com is an advancement of this trend and no doubt will give many hours of pleasure to lots of online video users.
