There must be scores of video players available across the net to help you display real estate video tours in your blog. I have used about a dozen myself, but am still always searching for the next best player. So far I have 2 favorites. The first is called WordTube…hmmm does that sound familiar ? Yep, it works just as it sounds - videos in Wordpress - in plugin form. This is a plugin that allows you to customize your video settings right in your Wordpress control panel. You can:

Here’s a sample of a video using the WordTube plugin on one of our PropBlogs:

It is very simple, no bells and whistles, yet powerful. BTW, we’ve already loaded the plugin for all of our propblog accounts. All you have to do is activate it if you want to add videos.

My 2nd favorite so far is the VOD:POD. This is more for fun than to promote your real estate listings, but you never know when it may come in handy.

Here’s the VOD:POD in action (REALIVENT ADVISORY - the “Alec Baldwin Real Estate Sales Training” video has strong language - watch at your own risk )

This is a pretty neat tool because you can add videos to your collection on the fly. VODPOD’s bookmarklet function allows you to save videos to your VODPOD whenever you see a favorite video - just pod it! And it allows viewers to vote whether or not they like it, love it, or hate it. Maybe agents can use this to add real estate video tours to blogs and test whether the properties are hot or not.

And finally, here it is in sidebar form
