I was recently contacted via the Consumed blogs to upload some of my video content into motiono.com. I started to take a look at motion, it was after all new to me.
First of all the name. Motiono is described by its tag line as being “the motion of everything in the universe”. Big name - big aspirations.
Here’s my experience. Motiono is a Web 2.0 video sharing site. It’s a YouTube Clone - Really - it has a very similar look and feel. I think at this point we don’t need a repetition of an established formula. That said another distribution point isn’t a bad thing.
Errr - finding it hard to sort this one out. In other words a mixed message from your reviewer.
This is how it panned out. I wasn’t able to get a video loaded up, every time I tried Motiono crashed. That said other people obviously had so there is hope for the good looking system that motiono uses (it’s called video egg - and it really does look useful - it’s just that it has failed for me). Its just that Motiono at this point feels too much like YouTube. The comparisons are too obvious this doesn’t feel that exceptional.
Though it has got me wondering - does the rise in various user driven sites dilute the ease of which we can singularly get a message out. Or does it just mean that we have to pick, choose and work our chosen formats.
Motiono has made me think about distribution. So its not all bad.
I hope Motiono fixes its problems. Its in beta and has time to become something great.
In the meantime we all have to keep on working our favorite websites to find that magic audience for our work.
