New features added on Oct 16, 2007:
I am interested in adding features based on your feedback. Please feel free to give me input on what would improve your experience on this site.
Top What can I do on this site?Are you tired of just commenting on your favorite videos at sites like Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Veoh, Revver,...? For videos that matter to you, make them your own at JiggyMe and get your friends, family, and the whole world to vote and comment on them.
Top What sort of videos should I nominate or not nominate?Please DO NOT nominate pornography or sexually explicit videos, thanks for your cooperation. Other than that, nominate all the videos to your heart's content. The important thing is to add as many appropriate keywords as possible to each video so others with similar tastes can easily find your videos.
Top Can I see an example of how to nominate a video?It is a lot easier now to nominate videos from Youtube. All you need is the video's URL to automatically retrieve the Embed code, Title, and Description. As of July 9, 2007, Youtube implemented video embedding restrictions as requested by copyright content owners. You can still nominate these restricted videos but they will not play on this site. There is a link on the video details page to take you to the original video on Youtube. Javascript must be enabled for this feature to work. If Javascript is not enabled or for non-Youtube sites, you can add it manually. You must be a registered JiggyMe user to nominate videos.
Here are some examples of what to look for at various popular video sites.
| Veoh Copy and paste
the contents of Veoh "Permalink" to JiggyMe "URL" and Veoh "Embed this Video"
to JiggyMe "Embed Code"
|
|
| Dailymotion Copy and paste
the contents of Dailymotion "Permalink" to JiggyMe "URL" and Dailymotion "Embeddable Player"
to JiggyMe "Embed Code"
|
|
| Metacafe Copy and paste
the video's URL to JiggyMe "URL". Click on Metacafe "Blog/Embed Player" and then copy and paste
the contents of Metacafe "Embeddable Player" to JiggyMe "Embed Code"
|
|
| Revver Copy and paste
the contents of Revver "Permalink" to JiggyMe "URL". Click on Revver "Grab code",
select Revver "Flash Embed" format, and then copy and paste the contents to JiggyMe "Embed Code"
|
|
As you can see, the two key pieces of information are the "URL" and "Embed Code" fields. Copy and paste the contents of those two fields to the corresponding fields on JiggyMe video page.
Also on the JiggyMe video page, fill out the Title, Description, and Keywords fields, click on the Nominate button, and you are done!
Top Can I upload videos on this site?No, this site does not have the ability for you to upload videos. Why? There are already many sites out there that allow users to upload their content, so we do not feel that it is necessary to have yet another site for that purpose. If you think this is an important feature for you on this site, please let us know.
Top Why did the embed code change after nominating or updating a video?You may have noticed that the embed code changed after nominating a video. To ensure a certain level of validity in the embed code, it is scrubbed and sanitized when you nominate or update a video.
Top Do I need to register to nominate and / or vote for a video?Yes, you need to register to nominate and / or vote for a video. For each video, you have only one vote but you can change your vote at anytime.
Top What can I do on this site if I do not register?As a unregistered or free user, you can view videos nominated by others but you cannot vote. To maximize your experience on this site, we recommend that you register, afterall it is a free and simple process.
Top Can I delete my account?Sorry, there is currently no way to delete your account.
Top Help, I forgot my passwordSimply go to the login page and click on "Forgot my password" link at the bottom of the page to have a new temporary password generated and emailed to you.
Top Can you tell me what my password is?Unfortunately, we cannot tell you what your password is. For security reason, your password is not stored in clear text. Your best option is to go to the "Forgot my password" page and have a new temporary password generated and emailed to you.
