Miro vs. Joost and making Miro social with Mefeedia
The folks over at Miro have done a fine comparison of Miro versus Joost. The open nature of Miro and the support for Miro on many different platforms and languages makes it a very compelling solution over the closed Joost. In response to Miro’s post, Newteevee has written an objective response on what each of these solutions can learn from each other.
Miro + Mefeedia
Since announcing that Mefeedia was a Miro search partner, we have been extensively using Miro + Mefeedia together. Using these two services together addresses most of the issues that Newteevee talks about. Overall, the experience has been great, so we wanted to share a few tips on how to most effectively use these solutions together, making Miro more social, “open”, and useful and providing an offline / player solution for Mefeedia.
- Join Mefeedia, Subscribe and Manage your media feeds within Mefeedia (you can also Import your podcast/RSS subscriptions from iTunes and from Miro into Mefeedia once you login), then put your personal channel’s RSS feed into Miro (this is located at http://mefeedia.com/user/[your username]/queue/rss/). This will enable you to have a complete, web-based, social solution for your video content needs AND have a great playback and offline experience with Miro. Together, it is a complete solution.
- Within Miro: Go to “Channels” -> “Add Channel Guide“; Put in the URL http://www.mefeedia.com/channels/ - this will enable you to browse and be social in all mefeedia channels (topics, events, etc.). Each mefeedia channel is a ad-hoc social media network where you can collaborate, comment, and watch video from many different sources in one place.
I hope you find some of these tips useful. Overall, the openness, comprehensiveness, and video experience of Mefeedia + Miro are great reasons to use these two services together.
