We are quickly approaching a major milestone at Magnify:    

50,000 channels!

The growth has been amazing and the kinds of users who have built channels on Magnify.net are as wide and varied as the web itself.

To celebrate our 50,000th birthday, the user who creates the 50,000th channel will win a Magnify Pro Services Package valued at over $1000! The package includes the advertising buyout for 5000 pages a month, custom branding (watermark on video player and logo on embedded players), enhanced graphics for your channel (new buttons for the main navigation bar, a page background image, an "upload a video" graphic for your home page, and a logo for the channel guide watermark). You can see the official channel count of the Magnify home page.

So, if you have not yet build a channel, or you are a super busy PRO user thinking about building a bunch more – now is the time to get cracking and build a bunch of new channels.

We could not be happier with how the site has grown and want to congratulate channel owners and users for building a truly vibrant video community.

Among the users who are fastest growing:
   
Publishers:  We are exited to be growing with our friends at Rodale, Reed Elsevier, Weather Channel, Reimen, Live Earth.
Brands:  With sites like Jones Soda and Bernie and Phils, we are the place for Brands with an appetite for Curated Video Content.
Enthusiasts:  Tons of these! Rock climbing, skiing, yoga, bicycling,  and more.
Technology:  From the guys at Droideo (Google Android) to the PC, Mac, iPhone,  and Software gang… this is a huge space for us.
Community/Teams/Fans:  Of course, sports fans (go Cheeseheads!) Youth Soccer,
Lacrosse, Bowling, Skydiving and music fans (and makers) from Pop to Rock to Classical. 
   
It is great to see so many people using Magnify to harness and spread the power of online video and we want to thank you.

So, get ready for the 50,000 site birthday bash.  In our mind, you are all winners – but only one of you will win the grand prize.  Build a site and see if you can be the lucky 50,000 site buider.
