We (at Veeker--I am Chief Marketing & Product Officer) completely agree, and in fact are launching a program next week with YouthNoise, which is a social network built around teens dedicated to social change. The program, called "VEEK the Vote" encourages (and enables) teens to get involved on November 7 by using the video cameras in their mobile phones to communicate their experiences on election day--at their local polling stations, political rallies, protests, election day parties and any other election-related activities or events. Kids can sign up at YouthNoise.com, and, using the VEEKERplayer, deliver their Veeks ("video peeks") from the day, right to their profile pages, along with those from other teens around the country. The Veeks will show up in the VEEKERplayer 15 - 60 seconds after they are sent from phones. This kind of coordinated effort to get teens nationwide to become citizen journalists using the video cameras in their phones hasn't been tried before. It's a bit of an experiment, but one we hope will lead to good things, and more of this type of behavior in the future--like in 2008! Patricia,

Great idea about using mobile video for citizen journalism. We (at Veeker–I am Chief Marketing & Product Officer) completely agree, and in fact are launching a program next week with YouthNoise, which is a social network built around teens dedicated to social change.

The program, called “VEEK the Vote” encourages (and enables) teens to get involved on November 7 by using the video cameras in their mobile phones to communicate their experiences on election day–at their local polling stations, political rallies, protests, election day parties and any other election-related activities or events.

This kind of coordinated effort to get teens nationwide to become citizen journalists using the video cameras in their phones hasn’t been tried before. It’s a bit of an experiment, but one we hope will lead to good things, and more of this type of behavior in the future–like in 2008!

I would think that the news sites that invite citizens to send in video clips of news they see happening (lots of local tv stations do this throughout the country) would be interested in this as the video could then be received and uploaded quickly from mobile phones, but I am too tired this morning to think through whether or not I'm right about this.

There are other sites out there that allow pushing video or photos from mobile phone. If it is the social net aspect that makes this exciting, one should question just how easy creating these types of social networks is becoming with tools like Ning. I just played with some of their latest tools and this type of thing can be created pretty quickly or so it appears. Not sure that what they are building is more then just a feature set.

The problem for Veeker is that the state of mobile technology in the US lags the rest of the world and mobile video has failed to take off so far. Timing is important for any startup, unless the company has no financial limitations and can wait to see if the market develops. Assuming that Veeker is a typical startup, it might just be too early.

I am not sure if this is an arbitrary application limitation or my network's limitation (Sprint "Power Vision"). Most of my phone videos are at least 1MB. I shoot at 352x288 because postage stamp footage just doesn't really do it for me. Is my phone in the minority or are "Veeks" really intended to be ultrashort?

Is my phone in the minority or are “Veeks” really intended to be ultrashort?
