Media Sharing Platform Adds Location Identification of Video Content to Hosted Service Offering

SAN FRANCISCO-- Reality Digital™, the pioneer and industry leader in media sharing and social community solutions for businesses, today introduced the integration of its digital media hosting platform, Reality Digital Opus™, and Google Maps™, a location identification tool. The new integration enables customers to easily identify the geographic location of any video uploaded to Opus. Reality Digital is the first company to offer businesses a full-featured set of hosted media sharing and social networking tools that includes embedded Google Maps functionality for mapping user-generated media.

This new functionality makes it possible for content owners to highlight their video’s exact location, helping viewers identify more closely with the content. This is done by placing a virtual ‘pushpin’ on the map, or typing in an address or location. Site owners can leverage the Opus integration of Google Maps to offer more compelling communities, enhance their brand’s value and better monetize their content.

Examples of businesses for which the Opus integration of Google Maps is essential include travel sites, communities of interest and social networking sites.

“Mapping the geographic location of our videos will add another level of context for the politicians, lobbyists and political enthusiasts who visit our site,” said David Livingston, president of Capitol Hill Broadcasting Network. “Reality Digital continues to help us differentiate ourselves from the multitude of political communities online today. Our users can geographically tag their videos with the Opus integration of Google Maps to extend their level of interactivity with one another.”

Reality Digital provides enterprise customers with complete solutions to quickly and efficiently create and integrate social networking and user-generated media communities, or to add these capabilities into their websites. The Opus integration of Google Maps is another example of how the company helps business customers create environments that enable more meaningful and interactive social exchanges.

“We see businesses struggle with piecing together third-party solutions to provide their users with a rich set of features including video sharing, blogging, and social collaboration capabilities,” said Cynthia Francis, CEO of Reality Digital. “Not only does Opus package these tools into a simple, powerful and easy-to-use solution, but the additional Opus mapping capability underscores our commitment to developing new and relevant features that exceed the technical needs of today’s rapidly evolving social networking ecosystem.”
