NEW YORK: Penetrating, insightful, illuminating and entertaining, the on-going AES DVD Oral History Project is dedicated to preserving the genius of iconic audio pioneers in their own words. In conjunction with the upcoming 131st AES Convention set for Oct. 20 – 23rd at NY’s Javits Center, Committee Chair Jim Anderson developed a fast-paced series of YouTube clips and rousing video promo videos to highlight the series.
Beginning 9.4.11, one video per day will automatically be delivered to the phones of the subscribers. The promos will also be posted on YouTube and Facebook and Twitter. The campaign will wrap on October 23rd, 2011, the last day of the 131st Convention.
Thwapr solves the unsupported video format problem automatically. Thwapr video clips will play on hundreds of models of phones… point and shoot with Thwapr, send to another phone or post to Facebook or Twitter…Thwapr’s magic trick is that if you send a clip via e-mail or text message, you usually need not worry about what kind of phone recipients are packing…Thwap figures out what phone they have and how best to serve video to that phone.
In 2011, we launched a new series where we round up some of our favorite new apps for smartphones (primarily iPhone and Android) on a monthly basis. With February now coming to a close, we’ve listed some of the new apps that caught our eye this month below. This month’s list includes both those that are available now and those we’re eagerly anticipating.
Whether your iPhone is on Verizon or AT&T, one thing is for certain — it shoots amazing 720p HD video. Unfortunately, Apple has hindered our ability to share such video, but thankfully some enterprising third-party developers are quickly filling this gap. The latest is Thwapr, which promises to share up to 30 minutes of video with a free cloud-based service.
Thwapr announced this week the availability of their free iPhone app, which joins the ranks of other models from Blackberry, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, LG, Sony, Dell, HP/Palm and others — all told, the software company supports 300 types of mobile devices.
Cameras on cell phones were a hit, and video capturing on mobile phones was even bigger. However, it became a social-networking gateway once users could transfer those images and videos to their computers and through channels like email. The method of sharing our lives in full animation is only getting bigger. Unfortunately, SMS, Twitter, and even Facebook are a bit limiting. That’s where Thwapr is looking to shine.
The iPhone makes it easy to shoot video on the fly, but sharing these videos can be a bit tricky. Thwapr’s new app and video sharing service, Thwapr, helps overcome the iPhone’s video sharing limitations, letting you easily capture and share videos and photos with many types of mobile devices.
With the standard Photos app, your sharing options are limited to e-mail, MMS, and YouTube, all of which have their own shortcomings. E-mail and MMS are limited to around one minute of video length, and uploading a video to YouTube is a hassle if you just want to share it with one friend.
New York-based video startup Thwapr, which made a small splash by providing streaming clips of Angelina Jolie to users’ smartphones, is debuting a new service that allows users to upload and share a full 30 minutes of video. It’s the first consumer-facing product from Thwapr, which typically targets brands like Ms. Jolie or the Miami Dolphins as clients.
“We don’t want to limit users to 10 seconds like Path does — or as 12seconds.tv did for their Twitter video concept,” Thwapr chief technology officer Eric Hoffert told Mashable. “It should be more natural to share video. We do have limits like any product, but we plan to keep pushing the boundaries.”
Mobile-to-mobile video-sharing startup Thwapr is releasing an iPhone application Monday that helps users upload and share videos up to 30 minutes in length.
Thwapr for iPhone [iTunes link], the startup’s first product targeted at end users as opposed to brands, enables users to easily capture and share videos and photos with friends on any mobile phone, or via Twitter and Facebook. Recipients can then view and add comments, or share their own video and photo responses via mobile browser, web or the app.
The National Football League’s Miami Dolphins are delivering a free daily mobile video experience to engage the team’s community of “Finatics.”
The team has partnered with Thwapr Inc. to mobilize and monetize its branded video content. This free daily video service does not require an application download and is available to more than 300 compatible mobile phones with data plans and video capability, including devices from Apple, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Palm, Dell, RIM, Samsung, Sony and Sanyo.
The mobile channel is seeing a dramatic rise in popularity. Companies are trying to keep up, not just with marketing, but with all facets of customer strategy. Consumers use their phones to receive marketing messages, interact with customer service, and make transactions. It is becoming an integral part of the customer experience.
