We’ve talked about Flixwagon a number of times in the past, but I was emailed by their PR today, to notify me about the open public version now available – in case you have forgotten/didn’t see what Flixwagon does:
Flixwagon is a mobile phone and web application that allows users to broadcast and share live videos from their mobile phones to the internet. Using our web service viewers can search, view, and share live broadcasts and stored videos in almost any category including sports, travel, news, personal, etc. Broadcasters can manage their stored videos, share them with others, and much more. With Flixwagon, you can broadcast your life…LIVE!
There are some big new features in the open version, a couple of which I’ve picked out below:
- Choose between delay or video quality: in the preferences section you can determine whether your broadcasts will be optimized for the shortest delay, or highest video quality
- Two way text chat! You can send IM messages back to the video chat room, making chats around your video 2-way. This is especially useful when you want to respond to your viewers’ comments without interrupting the video or audio in the broadcast
- Share on Twitter and YouTube directly from phone: you can share individual videos on twitter and YouTube directly from your device, as well as customize the message or titles. All you need to do is add your Twitter or YouTube account details on Flixwagon.com, and then you can customize posts directly from your phone
If this sounds like your kind of thing, you can either download the mobile client (which by the way is currently only for Series 60 3rd edition handsets) at http://m.flixwagon.com/nokia, or visit the website at http://www.flixwagon.com.
