I hadn’t heard about epipheo until I read it in your article. Thank you for posting about it. It’s full of great videos. I really hope it catches on as you suggest in your post. Right now it doesn’t seem like they get new content very often. I read your article when you posted and have checked epipheo off and on for new videos, but there aren’t very many. My favorite are the marketing and fast-fact type videos like Did You Know?

Videos are naturally viral in that people will automatically tell others about the video if they are good. That's why videos should be extremely helpful or funny, if you want them to go viral. You should also have good distribution making sure to include them on even less known sites such as Adwido.

@lynne, it’s one of those “let’s go launch a start-up” before we have a finalized plan…
1. They provide a site for users to aggregate epipheos
2. They produce epipheos

I’m not really sure what exactly they provide. I like all the videos (the Twitter video is pretty funny), but do they create video content in the Epitho Studios and also provide a space where you post youtube videos? Are they another video content aggregator like youtube? I like their promo video, it explains the evolution of advertising, but then…what? What am I suppose to do, what do they do. Am I missing something?

Nicole,
I checked out the epipheo website and the video you posted this afternoon. The tone and intent of the site seems to be pretty much the opposite of the site I wrote about yesterday: “and the most influential person is…” 4chan, which says nothing about illuminating life’s underbelly in its mission statement, manages to be about that anyway. Epipheo, by expressing its aim to “turn a light on” and transform the way people think and live” will hopefully rise to something much better. It seems to be the goal of many good ‘public service’ sites, to do good within a “strategy to drive traffic to the studio” which aims to make a profit.
I viewed the twitter video on epipheo and found it pretty funny, even though it shows twitter as a tool for airheads and the friendless–not at all like we use it in class–except when we’re asking someone to pass the snacks!
