Motionbox Users Make the Move to iPlayerHD
On July 13, Motionbox, a mostly free video sharing platform, announced the sale of the company to Snapfish, a mostly free photo sharing platform. It seems Snapfish looks to integrate Motionbox's video technology into its platform and extend video sharing services to its millions of subscribers. While Snapfish subscribers might celebrate the new services this acquistion brings, Motionbox users are hardly celebrating.
Turns out Snapfish does not intend to offer all of Motionbox's features including, and especially, the ability to embed videos. This has caused widespread grief and anger among the many Motionbox subscribers whose videos, on August 10, will be disabled and left out in the cold. It has also caused a widespread exodus from Motionbox as subscribers seek alternatives.
Many Motionbox subscribers used the service to deliver important video content for their businesses, schools and churches. Some paid a subscription for their relationship with Motionbox. They are all looking for an alternative and many have found iPlayerHD.
We've been busy helping them download their source and optimized video files as well as assisting them with the upload to iPlayerHD. iPlayerHD offers something they did not get with Motionbox - live support - and plenty of it. In the end, they will all land on their feet and for those who chose iPlayerHD, they will sleep well knowing that their videos are in good hands and out of the cold.
iPlayerHD is a profitable, debt-free company that delivers an excellent product at a fair price. We welcome our new subscribers with open arms and we're glad to have them with us. Welcome aboard!
