With so many camera (and video) enabled mobile devices on the market there can never be enough tools to facilitate sharing your experiences. Seero is just such a tool wnabling users to not only share their videos but they can also geo-tag them and provide a new way for users to "see the World". Thanks once again to Frank of Google Earth Blog for a tip on this app!
What is it? Seero.com is a geo-broadcasting platform for users to broadcast and experience destinations around the world. Seero fuses live and on-demand video with GPS mapping to create a rich and unique user experience. Our goal is to shake the foundations of how you see video with a platform that promotes exploration and geographical awareness.
If you're looking for another typical video site, or 'Television Online', this probably isn't the place for you. If you want to experience a new way to see the world, welcome. Seero utilizes the vast potential of the internet to create an original brand of content. If you are a citizen journalist, local tour guide, back road explorer, talented performer, or simply have a great destination to unveil, Seero is your platform to broadcast your world.
How it works... The site serves geo-tagged advertisements and facts based on their proximity to each broadcast. Dan Rummel, a Founder and Chief Technology Officer for Seero, foreshadowed the business model, "We are trying to create a great way to advertise alongside video content- which most services haven't figured out yet. Most sites serve an ad based on how a video is tagged, 'funny' for example. Funny to one person may be boring to another though. We serve ads based on location, which is objective. If you are watching a video shot in Union Square we are serving ads for nearby businesses in Union Square." (Source: Seero PR, Feb 5, 2008)
