Enabling real-time mobile-to-Web video communication and UGC services direct from 3G phones to social networks
The popularity of social networking sites (SNS) like Facebook and MySpace and video-sharing sites like YouTube have changed the way people communicate. SNS users represent a special subset of today's society—predominately youth and city dwellers—that have a unique way of communicating and sharing daily life experiences.
Although to date mobile phones only play a minor role in social networks, those deemed active social networkers-- people who access their networks several times a day --are using their mobile phones to interact with these sites, AND are generating a large volume of traffic.
Veedio aims to change all this-- enabling operators to take mobile social networking from a niche market to the masses.
What is Veedio?
Veedio mobile social networking enhances current social network and video-sharing Web site communication by injecting instant mobile-to-Web video communication in personal network platforms. Veedio enables user-generated video and location-based VAS services in real time using video call technology.
How it works
Veedio makes live mobile-to-Web communication as easy as making a phone call. Users simply place a video call to a designated number to initiate the service. From that moment they start recording and streaming live video instantly to the SNC or video-share Web site. Users record video streams and select one or several SNC or video-sharing Web sites to instantly publish their video.
3G users also can initiate real-time audio and video communication with other 3G mobile users or SNC Web users via a video call—anywhere, anytime. Users only need a 3G enabled phone and no software installation is needed.
