Badpuppy is back in the news with their soft launch of Ogle Me, a new social networking site consisting of amateur and professional video sharing, video chat, private video conferences and blogging. Ogle Me targets Straight, Bi and Gay clientele and is free to viewers.
On the Gay side Ogle Me will offer channels featuring Badpuppy model content and branded channels for the companies hosted on the Badpuppy Network who produce their own content. In conjunction with the launch, a new advertising opportunity is being offered to selected strategic partners, who also produce content for their membership websites, but are not a part of the Badpuppy Network.
The intent with Ogle Me is to deliver a system where any “Joe six pack” can share their own videos, but channels can also be established for video production companies. Badpuppy owner Bill Pinyon says, “Ogle Me is not a free for all. We will be moderating the site seven days a week. Posting of illegal or copyright material is not going to be tolerated from the start.” Pinyon went on to explain the new venue allows his company to expand its reach, and offer another delivery system to video production companies that have been cut off from other tube sites.
Ogle Me has launched with a focus on the Gay market, but welcomes straight amateurs and couples to begin posting on the straight side of the site. They are also looking for companies, with straight member web sites, to set up partner accounts and post their own original content. The video and audio are streamed via Badpuppy’s Flash Communications Server.
The new website also features live video chat. Registered users can video chat one-on-one or with groups of up to 6 people. Additionally, password protected private rooms can be established for by invitation only chat sessions.
Between October and January 31, 2009 Ogle Me is having a contest in which one lucky winner will receive up to $5,000.00. Simply upload 10 videos to be eligible. The more videos uploaded, the more opportunities to win. Official Rules and Details are available at Ogle Me.
