Magnify.net is a social video site that lets website publishers create video channels for their sites that are stockpiled with videos from popular video-hosting sites like Revver, Youtube and Kyte. Users can upload video to their channels using video URLs or by searching for video from the Magnify.net site. Videos are searchable by text, tags or reviews. The approach is different than most video sites that depend on users to upload their own content. The site uses Amazon’s S3 storage service to deliver the scale needed for their customer base.
