PikSpot
Metamor developed PikSpot in the early days of
social media as a platform for groups to self
organize and share/rate media and content of common
interest. PikSpot was embraced by many industry
leaders such as Don Tapscott, Leo Laporte, Chris
Pirillo and Jon Miller. PikSpot had 10's of
thousands of pre-registered users. As goes the
transiency of social media sites and audiences we
closed PikSpot in 2007 after a good but too short of
a run.
PikSpot has taught the Metamor team a lifetime
of "in the trench" lessons of working with social
media on the front line that can help grow your
business online.
Eclipse Media Player
In 2001 - many years before YouTube, Metamor
built the Eclipse Media player - this was one of the
first commercial video management technologies for
the web. Years before Flash was main stream and
computers had various plug ins for viewing video,
Eclipse served up a dynamic video playlist for
consumers based on their unique internet speed, plug
ins and interests. The Eclipse advertising system
loaded relevant advertising within the media
environment for each consumer.
With Eclipse,
Metamor: Launched the first commercial online video
initiative for leading brands such as Sympatico/MSN,
Much Music, and AccuWeather.
Was part of developing the tool kit for training
media reps in selling online video
Deployed the first online video ads for brands such
GM.

iRover
Before the standardization of XML and RSS feed
that make it simple for publishers to distribute
content across the web, Metamor built iRover in
1998. iRover was a "hub" that "fetched" content from
major content publishers and made a web service
available for hundreds of internet service
providers, radio stations and other media portals to
subscribe to iRover to pull in news updates every 15
minutes to their websites .
For 7 years, iRover worked with hundreds of
companies such as Bells Sympatico, Sprint, and Chum
Media group. Metamor retired the iRover product
line as new technologies evolved for standardized
content distribution
