No, I do not work for College ClickTV, just saw that they were the one with all the videos on US News and World Report. Just because you think a site is good suddenly you work them. I am actually still in college, just saw this conversation. Either way I am glad that there are this many great sites that you can find out information about your prospective college, whether it be Live Video U, CollegeClickTV, whatever.

Brian – I thought the exact same thing.

Sounds like this Josh guy works for college click… and as far as I’m concerned, why would any prospective student trust a site that has drunk college girls burping on camera discussing their school?

Actually did a little digging and it looks like LiveVideoU is now CollegeClickTV. Just rebranded everything but the same content.

Everyone should really check out CollegeClickTV, for prospective or even current college students there is no better place to find any kind of details you want about different universities. The best part about them is they actually do it in an entertaining way. Plus the quality of footage on CollegeClick blows those other services away.

Thanks,

Josh

Yeah I remember these guys coming and shooting us FOREVER ago. Unlike the LiveVideoU guys that I blogged about months ago who did a turn around in like a month these guys seem to take forever to get everything together. I wonder what takes so long? This is definitely a much more scripted video instead of lots of individual interviews. So the production quality/time is definitely a huge difference. I'll be honest though the little sound effects they throw in are a little annoying.

So you can’t embed the video on your site, you must link to them? That’s a bummer – especially with no link back to you as you mention. (oops there’s a link at the very end of the video).

Also, I’m not terribly impressed with the encoding of the video. There’s a lot of fast motion and cuts which gives you tons of blockiness.

Thanks for sharing this, Brad.
