Hi From Yurth. Glad You Found Us.
YURTH.com is a powerful, map-based organizer for web video content.
And this is our blog.
Yurth is a new home for entertaining, community-based video -- but stick with us as we grow to include retail, real estate, travel, business and entertainment. Unlike all those other video sites, which quickly turn into huge piles of undifferentiated junk, Yurth is organized and fun to use, both globally and locally.
With Yurth Beta you can:
Upload, categorize and share videos about your world with the rest of the world.
Browse videos uploaded by the Yurth.com community.
Find, join and create groups to connect with people who have similar interests.
And with our upcoming version 2.0 release, you'll be able to:
Subscribe to member videos, saving your favorites and creating tabs of your favorite searches, categories, users and places.
Make your videos private with our “Friends & Family” tab.
(And a few more surprises.)
And best of all, Yurth is free for everyone.
About Us
Yurth.com launched in Spring 2006 because, in case you haven't noticed it by now, all of us have become living, breathing, walking, texting, blogging, video podcasting media centers. We're programmers of our own networks. We're not waiting around for someone else to push us their idea of what's relevant. We're pushing back with our own video, our own music, our take on the news, our live feeds, whenever, wherever.
We're going out and getting what we want on the web, collecting it, tagging it and sharing it. We're funny, we're smart, we see things the way we see them.
And we see things from where we see them.
Put Yourself on the Map
If you're like us there are people only you know, doing things only you know about, in places only you know about.
…so show the world what's happening where you live. And browse around Yurth to check out what other people are doing where they live.
When you register for Yurth, we'll ask you where you're from. When you upload video, we'll ask you where it's from.
Not only will your video be available to all five billion earthlings for the fastest, best quality streaming available, it'll be searchable from our map, pinned to your town, your ZIP, your longitude & latitude – however much you want them to know.
Show ‘Em Where You're Coming From
Yurth is about a better way of experiencing web video.
And it's about where you're from. We're community-based media, whether your community is cows and cornfields, Tokyo, Toronto or Timbuktu.
Google Earth Integration
For even deeper zooms, click the “View in Google Earth” button on our home page. Every Yurth video is available for viewing on Google Earth.
So spin the virtual globe and let your cursor stop on a place you've never been, or a place you've been a hundred times, or a place you've wondered about. Then check out what's going on there with Yurth.
Ready? Upload. Then Give YURTH a Spin.
Just sign in (or click here if you haven't registered already) and start uploading video, as many as you want, as often as you want. Any questions, just contact us!
