Recently Hip Hop group De La Soul tried to make their back catalogue available for free download by their fans using Dropbox. Minutes after the promotional event went live, De La Soul’s account had been blocked for excessive downloading, effectively putting a stop to their music giveaway.
S3Bubble is a service that gives the user complete control over how much they store or stream which would prevent the issues that De La Soul faced from happening.
If you already have an Amazon S3 account, then signing up with S3Bubble is easy, it’s just a matter of entering your S3 key into the box. If you’re an easily confused person like myself, then there’s even a short tutorial video provided to help guide you through. Once you’re all set up with the right package for you then there’s no limit to what you can do. Really. Because S3Bubble syncs in with your existing Amazon S3 account, you decide how much you store and stream. Apart from the low monthly charge for S3Bubble, if you don’t use the service then there’s no fee to pay, but your files are still stored in a secure place just waiting for you to come back, dust them off and make them feel loved again.
With the sheer number of websites and blogs already existing online, and even more being created in droves, it’s important that people make a lasting impression, else be forgotten faster than that container of questionable origin and contents that everyone seems to have at the back of their fridge.
Video is still one of the most effective and influential media forms available to people today. Sociologists call it The Hypodermic Syringe model, suggesting that messages contained in the media are directly injected into our brains. With this in mind, people who aren’t using video or audio on their professional or blog sites are seriously missing a trick.
Whether the reason they aren’t yet using these types of media files is because the process seems to complicated, or due to general laziness, the WordPress plugin by S3Bubble offers a solution to both scenarios.
Sobytes know how important adding video and audio is to creating a successful web page, and so they created a plugin that would take the hassle out of the process so that everyone, professional or otherwise, can upload and stream these media files on any WordPress site easily, smoothly and problem free, even in high definition. S3Bubble also offers updates like the video playlist, which allows the user to build custom video playlists that can be streamed cheaply from your Amazon S3 account. Unlike other video log sites, with S3Bubble people can make up to thirty minutes of recording and upload directly onto their S3Bubble account. Working in tandem with these two features of S3Bubble is the great function that allows you to embed your media files onto your Twitter timeline with just a click of a button. S3Bubble provides everything a person could need when it comes to the streaming and storing of their data, and gives the choice of two accounts. Sign up for the service at https://s3bubble.com/ .
The S3Bubble service and all its features are pretty simple to use, but if anyone runs into trouble there are tutorial videos and help on the S3Bubble support blog, which can be found here https://s3bubble.com/blog/, and the Sobytes team is also on hand via email for troubleshooting if there is an issue with the service.
