Deliver Video to Mobile Phones With Myxerflix

Mobile pPersonalization site, Myxer, has launched of MyxerFlix, a new service that simplifies the delivery of video to mobile phones.

Content owners simply have to upload the video to the Myxer website (www.myxer.com) in any common format, place a MyxerTag on their own web page or MySpace profile, and the video becomes instantly available to any mobile user on any carrier’s network. They can give the video away for free or charge a download fee.

“There’s a lot of buzz around mobile video, especially surrounding video ringtones and projects like Sundance’s Global Short Film Project, but the reality is it’s still incredibly difficult for anyone to distribute mobile video content to a wide audience without the backing of a major studio or distribution company,” said Myk Willis, founder and chief technology officer of mVisible Technologies, Inc., the company behind Myxer. “MyxerFlix changes that by making the process incredibly simple and eliminating the need for distribution deals, special carrier agreements, working with aggregators, and dealing with the format standardization issues of multiple mobile devices. We’re eliminating complexity, allowing anyone with video content to go mobile in no time.”
