Free IQ Player updated!

By Evan Mullins | Published: October 24, 2007

The video player at Free IQ now supports Google Analytics and remembers your history!

We’ve just released a few new features for the flash player. For the user, we’ve added a “high water” mark showing furthest point in the video you’ve watched. For the web-site owner who embeds a FreeIQ video player on their sites, we’re now integrated with Google Analytics to help you understand how users are engaging with your video. Read on…

For the User

Say you start a video one Saturday afternoon and don’t get to watch all of it, or you’re watching a video and you rewind because you missed a bit of content. The high water mark helps you know where in the video you left off.

The image below shows a player where the user has watched up to about 3 minutes, but rewound to minute 1. The green vertical bar in the timeline helps the viewer return to finish watching the video.

For the Hoster

If you embed a FreeIQ video player and use the free Google Analtyics solution, we’ll log entries to your analytics telling you how many folks start watching the video, completed watching the video, click through to your author page, etc.

Here’s the full table of events you’ll see in your analytics stream:

Log Entry User Action
/freeiqvideo/playstart/(video name) start the video
/freeiqvideo/playcomplete/(video name) finish the video
/freeiqvideo/authorinfo/(authorHomepage) view author tab
/freeiqvideo/outgoing/freeiqauthorpage/(authorHomepage) click through to author homepage
/freeiqvideo/outgoing/freeiqiqpon/(authorHomepage)/(iqponPage) click through to iqpon
/freeiqvideo/email/(video name) send a share email
/freeiqvideo/embed/(video name) get embed codes

You can opt out of this by sending the parameter “useGoogleAnalytics” as false in the embed code, and of course, if you don’t use Google Analytics, nothing undesirable will happen. If you use Google Analytics on your site, this will automatically appear in your reports. If you don’t, you may want to consider adding Google Analytics to your site, at which point, these will begin appearing in your reports.

So, to our users, happy viewing. To our web-site owners, dedicated stats on viewership of video on your site is yet another reason to use FreeIQ.

Free IQ Player Released!

By Evan Mullins | Published: October 1, 2007

Introducing our new Free IQ player! It’s got lots of new bells and whistles, and is the first player on the internet to directly incorporate e-commerce.



Let us take you through the tour of:

  1. Our new “scrub bar”
  2. Volume controls
  3. The playlist
  4. Full screen mode
  5. Author information
  6. IQpons



The term “scrub bar” refers to widgetry for moving back and forth in the video. Pictured in the middle of the bottom control bar, it shows you the elapsed time out of the total and the amount of the video loaded. Skip forward or back within the loaded area by simply clicking on the bar or even “scrub” through the video by dragging the handle.







Click the volume icon for interactive volume settings and a mute button inside the video panel.







Full screen is one of our most exciting features! Get ready for Free IQ immersion!

The text in the middle of the screen tells you that you can press ESC to exit full screen. The player control at the bottom disappears after a few seconds and re-appears when click on the screen.







Select among related content with the playlist. Note the presence of our estimation of the quality of the content through your input, ReviewRank.







Click the graphic of a person to access the author panel and learn more about this content’s author and jump to his homepage at Free IQ.







With the IQPon, you can hire a Free IQ author for direct consultation! Anyone can create an IQpon product at Free IQ, so put your expertise to work today.







For authors who are not offering consulting services, this button is replaced with Share — the broadcast icon on the far right of the control bar.





From Share, you can get code to put the video on your page, or mail to a friend. This is available in the tabbed widget from Author Info or Playlist as well.

Thanks to Andy Beard for the his writeup of Free IQ today. His core complaint about our player, an inability to get to the product page, is now resolved. You can reach the authors homepage from within the Author Info tab, or the homepage of the currently playing video from the FreeIQ logo on the control bar.

What This Means To You

These improvements have advantages for you, no matter how you use FreeIQ:

As a user – you get an improved user experience, with more viewing options and the ability to easily find out more information on the author or the subject.

As an affiliate – you get more sales, because viewers are more likely to click through to content, the author’s site, or FreeIQ in general. Plus, with ecommerce enabled in the player itself, you’re more likely to get a sale!

As a content provider – users are more likely to watch your video all the way through and to click to your site. Plus, full screen mode makes it so that screen-capture-type videos are more readable, so the learning experience you provide is enhanced.

We think you’ll find this new viewer to be a very cool step forward. We’d like to hear your reactions too by adding a comment below! Try it out with one of the links below:

Stay tuned!

Dynamic Flash Vertical Scrolling Link List with XML

By Evan Mullins | Published: August 20, 2007

As seen at activeden. I’ve fixed it up a lot and made it much easier to incorporate into your own files.

A link list. Vertically scrolling list of links or just words. Scrolls and wraps automatically and interactively. Reads an external XML file containing just titles and paths and creates an interactive click-able link list!

Mazamedia Splash

By Evan Mullins | Published: August 13, 2007

The new splash is in effect for Mazamedia’s 5th anniversary!

I just re-vamped Mark Callahan’s splash on his Mazamedia.com
Re-vamped as in made interactive innovative and fun. I was just playing with different effects and wanted to see it in action, so I applied it to Mark’s splash intro. He liked it so much he wanted to put it live on his site. That’s cool with me, thanks Mark.

New Version – The letters are anchored to their spot, but use the mouse to push or nudge them. You can also drag them try throwing them even.

Rollover elastic bounce rezise

By Evan Mullins | Published: July 26, 2007

Flash experiment that could be used for navigation. Rollover each area and watch them all resize themself to accomodate the growing box. It’s pretty fun to play with.

Example

I’m sure there is a way to simplify the code, but this worked so there was no need.

    Hooks, In a Nutshell – WP Daily
