Hi!

Another very cool feature that LiveCLIQ has developed is around geo-locating your streams and photos. Your phone has GPS inside, the cell site to which your phone connects has a location identifier and the location of the Wi-Fi hotspot to which you connect is available. We take all the location information to which we have access and use it to place your video streams and photos on the map. From your Library once you choose a video or photo you can see where it was taken on by clicking on the Map & Pin icon to expose the map. You can then either drag the pin or enter the address of the precise location.

When I captured the stream at the Point Reyes Light House there was no 3G connection with which to synch so I uploaded the video when I returned to San Francisco and the stream was geo-tagged at my apartment.

I corrected the location of the stream by entering the ‘Point Reyes Light House’ in to the address bar and, viola, the location of the stream is now placed at the crazy, windy tip of Point Reyes!

Checkout my stream of how this works in the player below.

More coming soon!

LiveCLIQ – videos from mobile phones to YouTube and the Internet in an instant

LiveCLIQ lets you express yourself with video streams from your mobile phone to YouTube and the Internet in an instant.  Individuals can create media communities in support of the ones they love.  

Friends and family can gather in public, private and moderated media communities where people can stream their videos and photos from their mobile phones and computers.  From these community media libraries people can make playlists and post their media players on Facebook, blogs and web sites.  These media communities have social interaction features such as tell-a-friend, chat, comment and message. 

Lance Armstrong asks the world to fight cancer and the world can broadcast its support using LiveCLIQ.  

Eric Schmidt joined Charlie Rose on March 6, 2008 and discussed the implications of a world in which everyone is streaming from their mobile phones! Watch the whole video or fast forward to 7:30 where the this discussion begins. We could not have said it better ourselves!

Charlie Rose:
YouTube has been fueled by user generated. People did it with their cameras. How much of a phenomenon is that going to be in the future of the internet?

Eric Schmidt:
We think it will be one of the most defining aspects of the internet. Because if you think about it, everybody has phones and every phone has a still camera, and every one of those phones is going to have a movie camera pretty soon. And indeed if you think about it, a lot of the news that you see you’ll see some phone camera video of low quality. Well, five years from now, those will be very high quality videos as the technology gets better. And the joke is that the vast majority of photographs now taken are kept in people’s phones because they can’t get them out of them.

Charlie Rose:
They can take the picture, but they don’t know what to do with it.

Eric Schmidt:
So we’re working to solve all those problems. The important thing here is that the phenomenon of user generated content of which YouTube is an example is I think the defining expression of humanity over the next 10 to 20 years. We had no idea that all these things were going on because there was no way to see them. And now if you have someone who is being taken advantage of or abused or put into an inappropriate position, what have you, they can take a picture. They can record what the police are doing in an –

Eric Schmidt:
There’s a lot of implications.

Charlie Rose:
Speak to that.

Eric Schmidt:
Well, the most interesting thing to me is that transparency is how you keep societies honest. And we’ve now because of the internet and because of the digital revolution given people — we’ve essentially given them the ability to see everything. So you can now take photographs, take videos of everything you see in your world and people discover it. And there are whole communities of people who are interested in these kinds of aspects. And they serve as a form of check and balance on the powerful, the rich, the people who might exploit others. It doesn’t necessarily mean for a different outcome, but it means that everybody can’t hide. They have to actually tell the truth. To me, that’s a great step forward.
