Last fall, we were very excited to tell you about the newly launched vTap which gives you YouTube and much more. vTap is a web video aggregator that makes it easy to access quality video on your iPhone or iPod touch. vTap actively collects video content from over 50,000 sites like YouTube, ESPN, and the New York Times. vTap automatically converts videos into an iPhone compatible format using QuickTime. In addition to a browse by topic feature, vTap offers several ways to find content and has added one new feature specifically designed for mobile users. vTap’s search feature has always been handy, auto suggesting content while you’re typing which reduces tapping on your touch screen. vTap’s newest “feed” feature continuously pumps new content into a topics category that you set up one time. This makes using vTap on the iPhone and iPod touch much more passive giving you more time to enjoy videos instead of looking for them.
This new feed feature also enables vTap to begin pushing their content out to other web services and they are starting with the two big social networks, Facebook and MySpace. Users of both these social networks can choose to install the vTap application into their profiles which then get updated with vTap video discoveries based on the user’s profile as well as their friends’ profiles even if their friends have not installed the app themselves. This is an interesting way to find video content that your friends would enjoy. We thought vTap’s service was already excellent, but this new feed feature makes it even better.
To start using vTap on your iPhone or iPod touch, point your mobile Safari to www.vtap.com.
