Publish Video Messages Online From Your Smartphone

"From Bloggers wanting to transmit video onsite from an event, to families wishing to share special moments with distant members, to first-on-the-scene Citizen Reporters transmitting as a story happens, to workers in the field needing to use video to get their message across -- anyone can now have their own portable TV station ready to broadcast at a moment's notice."

A company called ComVu is developing two technologies that allow this to happen by simply using your smartphone. Already in beta: live "one to many" transmission from a mobile device and "do-it-yourself" video networking.

Key service features will include:

• Instant notification to groups of contacts via SMS, IM or email


• Inclusion of tags and other video information to help categorize and search for videos.


• Capture geo-position data in video stream to allow viewers to locate transmission point.


• Immediate posting of video to a blog.


• "One-button" Webcasting with event notification software.


• Automatic video archiving


• Provisioning of a personal Webcast page for easy access to videos by viewers.
