New Feature: Video Classifieds!

Update to the Classified service, We've added a video field for your embed code so you can now add a video to your classified listing! The process is straight forward.

Step 1: Upload Your Video
Upload your Video to a video hosting Provider that gives you Embed code (you know, like us). To upload your video to StreetFire.net click here.

Step 2: Get Your Share Code
Once your video has been transcoded into Flash-Format (which may take up to an hour), the system will send you an email letting you know your video is ready. Note: At StreetFire we try to encode all uploads into both Windows Media and Flash, so two versions are available. However it's the Flash version that has the Embed Code you need to do this. when the System tells you your video is ready it may only be the Windows Version, in which case, give it some time and when the Flash version is ready you will see "Embed Code" appear as a Share Option.

Step 3: Post your Video Classified
Go to the Classified system and post your listing. there is an optional field there labeled "Video" where you can paste in your Embed code. (To copy your Embed Code, Select the Embed Text and hit Ctrl+c , to Paste, select where you want it and press Ctrl+v). Videos are not required for posting a classified listing, and listing for individuals is free. If you are a company and want to post a listing in the New Parts category it's very affordable.

Speaking of which Welcome UrHookUp.com posting a trick HID Set up for sale in the New Parts Section.

So anyhow, thats the long and short of it here is a Sample Ad showing how the video is displayed in your Ad. FWIW that video is from our podcast a few months ago.
