TauMed Launches Health Video Sharing Platform

Posted on: Tuesday, 25 September 2007, 09:00 CDT

TauMed (www.TauMed.com), a free virtual health community, today announced the preview launch of its Health Video sharing platform (www.TauMed.com/videos). TauMed "Health Videos" features premium video casts by physicians and trainers as well as community video sharing functionality, which is fully integrated with TauMed search and community platform.

"We are complementing TauMed's current offering with our launch of the community health video platform. This gives community members the opportunity to share their personal stories, thereby creating an entirely new community experience," says Tauseef Bashir, CEO of TauMed. "It is a major benefit to people who want to find timely and credible health information while enjoying the advantages of the video format. Integrating the video functionality seamlessly into TauMed's unique social network and search tools gives the user a dynamic personalized experience when looking for and sharing health information."

More specifically, TauMed's health video channel offers social networking, video commenting, and social book-marking features, and users can start a channel on any health topic. In addition, consumers will benefit from interacting with health and fitness experts as well as with each other. Members can upload and selectively share their own health and fitness videos or video journals with the TauMed community and build their own personal video libraries. They can keep any uploaded health video private, make it public, or selectively share it with their friends' circle, physician, or trainer.

Premium expert health and fitness video casts allow visitors to obtain interesting information about health, diet, and exercise by viewing TauMed's video content rather than exclusively relying on the traditional written format. This feature makes educating oneself about health and fitness easy, interactive, and entertaining. Other web sites or health blogs can easily add video functionality to their sites by using TauMed's embed code.
