An alternative to TubeMogul
I'm grateful to Eric Fontaine of HeySpread for pointing out that Tubemogul is not the only tool that lets you upload once and deliver to many video aggregation sites. I thought I'd take a look at what his company has to offer. Like Tubemogul, it's a subscription service but a low cost one. You buy so many “credits” up front (the minimum purchase is 200 credits which costs all of €10/c£9:40) which then allows you to upload your videos and distribute them. At the moment, there aren't quite as many sites to send the videos to. But HeySpread makes registering to those sites much easier than TubeMogul and all the key ones (YouTube, Metacafe, MySpace, Yahoo...etc) are there. There are even some I'd never heard of. The most important is TwitVid which lets you share videos on Twitter. It also includes some professional-looking video analytics and apparently exclusive features such as YouClone which lets the user copy/paste YouTube videos to any other platform automatically. I have bought credits and will use the system for our next video. I'll report on how we get on.
