| ComVu Demonstrates Live Webcasting
Direct to Blog From the Palm of Your Hand |
| ComVu selected as a Social Media Innovator at BlogOn 2005 |
| New York, NY - October 17, 2005 - ComVu, a developer of innovative
software and automated video delivery technologies, is today demonstrating an
efficient new "direct to blog" feature of its live mobile broadcasting service
at BlogOn Social Media Summit. ComVu is the first to offer mobile users the
ability to transmit live video broadcasts of any length and to any size
audience using ComVu's "do-it-yourself" video network. With this technology
marketing and media professionals can now broadcast breaking news, spokespeople
interviews and product demonstrations easily and inexpensively to its
stakeholder audiences.
|
| "The appeal of ComVu is very broad, but we believe the early adopters to be
marketing, media companies and bloggers," says William Mutual, CEO ComVu.
"Since our launch at DEMOfall, we've already started talks with major news
outlets who see the applicability of live on-the-spot mobile broadcasting from
the palm of your hand." |
| ComVu sits at the forefront of converging developments in wireless and
entertainment, where mobile phones are gaining high-end cameras and powerful
processors, and where everyday people are creating and sharing their own
content. According to Pew Internet & American Life a new weblog is created
every 5.8 seconds. That roughly translates into 15,000 new blogs every day.
"There is an insatiable appetite for consumer-generated media and new
technologies are bringing the tools to everyday people to share their news and
points of view," comments Chris Shipley, executive producer of BlogOn. "ComVu
is putting the next dimension into the hands of bloggers, media and marketing
professionals. For the first time, professionals and everyday people alike will
be able to give a true view of an event and get it to the target audience real
time." |
| With the push of a button on a camera phone or a laptop computer, users can
broadcast events to their communities that can then watch the live feed on
mobile devices or PCs with Windows Media compatible players. ComVu's mobile
service integrates the following key components: "one button" live video
streaming capabilities, video archiving on ComVu's servers, and a personal
broadcast page directly accessed by viewers.

-
Instant notification to groups of contacts (key stakeholders) via SMS, IM or
