Member Feature: TV Envy and VIP Breakdown

On the Redlasso Blog we like to occasionally feature members sites and the video they use from Redlasso on their own sites. I would like to have gotten to this one sooner, but no love lost… a big thanks to two great sites on the Gear Live Network… TV Envy and VIP Breakdown. Each of those sites were cool enough to post some Redlasso video. VIP Breakdown, the celebrity blog, posted this video of Corey Feldman talking about the breakdown of his marriage. For as much as this guy gets goofed on for being a goon, he was in two great movies, Goonies and Stand by Me, the later being one of my all time favorite flicks. Did I really just say “flicks”? Horrible. Anyway, thanks Veronica… you rule!

Redlasso Closed Captioning

One very unique feature about Redlasso is that we actually support and carry the closed captioning content within nearly all of our TV Clips. This has some obvious search benefits, but let’s remember the reason Closed Captioning exists in the frist place. We are thrilled about the positive reaction we have been getting from people with hearing loss. We’re very happy to know that word is spreading within the community and that this serves as a very practical service for those who need this most.

I would also like to thank Bill Creswell for blogging about this feature here. He has a very interesting blog, “Bill Creswell - Captioning the Internet One Video at a Time”. It’s probably one of the most complete Closed Captioning resources I’ve ever seen, with tips about everything from the best captioned movies, TV, and internet sites / services available.

Here are some additional tips for you regarding our closed captioning features. To turn on and off the Closed Caption display in our player, just click the “CC” logo in the top right corner of our player. (You can try this in any of the clips below this post). There is also a cool new feature for our registered members. When you select a clip to play on the site, to the right of the player you will notice an “interactive caption” box. This will allow you to scroll and copy the closed caption content for easy quoting within your blog, plus, you can actually click on the words to jump to the different parts of the clip.

The Daily Hurricane

Here at Redlasso, we love to feature the bloggers that use Redlasso to add great video content to their blogs. As a registered user, you can do this too. I would encourage any of our users to email me (gil at redlasso.com ) and send us the latest posts… then we will either feature it here or try to featured it on our “As Seen On” section within the site. The post I’ll feature today is from “The Daily Hurricane” - The Daily Hurricane is devoted to news and views about politics, energy, health, science, education, current affairs, as well as national and international news.

They are a Houston based blog writing mostly about things that happen within “Hurricane Alley”. I lived in Houston once, and I know what that means… you are in the strike zone!

Make sure to check out their blog here: http://dailyhurricane.com/

Here is the video they posted, which by the way, looks like it was found or embedded via a great video site called http://www.magnify.net/ - check them out too!
