Magnify.net has released VidyUp, a free video upload widget powered by the recently introduced YouTube API. It is a simple, embeddable, and customizable widget that invites site visitors to upload video directly to YouTube from any Website or blog.
VidyUp is designed to be a community engagement tool for site hosts to invite visitors to recommend related videos while they upload them to their YouTube account. Once uploaded, VidyUp also emails the host with the embed code and a preview of the new video as a way of helping them identify relevant videos to in turn share with their community.
Sites likely to be users of the VidyUp.com widget include blogs, websites, and sites that have their own established content management system. Customers of the Videoegg Uploader product may find the free VidyUp product as a good alternative since it is no longer available.
