WHAT’S MY FLIVOR?

Get ready for a revolution in the way you get connected. Flivor requires no downloads and lets you find and interact LIVE with people in your area all through your mobile phone. With Flivor you will be able to experience live streaming video feeds of other members in your locale. You can search, watch and go live yourself all in a matter of seconds.

HOW IT WORKS?

Using WiMax, compass and GPS integrated in the mobile phone, Flivor will connect to users in your area and allow you to video call them without having to share your phone number; it is a live stream IM where you don’t need to add buddies.

Imagine a Friday night where you feel like checking out the latest summer blockbuster. Just click the Flivor icon on your mobile phone, select an activity, in this case “movie” and Flivor does the rest. Flivor’s server searches members in your area and displays those who share your interests. One click will open a video feed between you and the user you choose. If you don’t match up, go back to your list and click on another prospect to watch their live stream. Flivor offer variety of activities such as restaurant, movie, concert, football games, art exhibit and opens up endless possibilities to interact.

Using Adobe Flash player, Microsoft’s new SilverLight player, Quicktime H.264 or Opera’s native flash replacement, Flivor lets you join in on someone’s cam chat or go live yourself. Have a private conversation or a cam party. You can search for other live users and easily hookup with your friends or make new ones. Flivor also delivers premium live video content from music and movies to sports and style. Whatever you’re into it’s on and it’s LIVE. Your live streaming experience is moving outside the box. With Flivor you can access, post, update and watch live video from your computer or your cell phone to any computer, cell-phone or TV.

HOW DO I GET MY FLIVOR?

It’s coming soon…real soon. Keep checking back and we’ll keep you in the loop as we approach the launch date. To get more info about FLIVOR and be part of the private beta contact us, we’ll be happy to fill you in. If you are a content creator and want to know how your shows can be featured on Flivor get in touch with us as well. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll let you know more about the features in our private beta and how we can help you reach an audience.

Como o descontentamento é enorme, as vendas não são nada do esperado, queixas desde as indústrias de hardware até aos consumidores que se sentem enganados com a merda que lhe enfiaram nos PCs novos, passando pelas empresas que se recusam a fazer o downgrade pro Vista aka Me2, a Microsoft vai lançar uma nova versão do Me2.Chamar-se-á SUTU que deriva de “Vista 2X Super Ultra Turbo-Ultimate”. E prometem que esta versão já trará 33% das novidades prometidas no longíquo Longhorn que entretanto foram deixadas cair para lançarem prematuramente as versões actuais do Vista.

This is interesting, but is it really better than Broadcaster, stickum or the other competitors? It looks like hype to me.

I thought that FSB comment was .. sorta, kinda, funny. The Irony here is that he’s a knock off Fake Steve Jobs

about blogTv … I’m picturing every brothel in the world getting a T1 installed at the same time.

These guys went all the way and not just did a crappy widget on profile. This is smart!

Did you guys think that from now on, every time you want to communicate with all your friends, you can do it live through Facebook?

Fair enough – I appreciate the response, Greg. We certainly don’t want to publish anything inappropriate, especially when it comes to children.

I would have put some more thought into it before posting a screenshot with an image like that. Regardless of what the intentions were for someone taking a picture like that in the first place, it’s not a common situation for any child to be caught on camera in that nature. Let alone having that published online. There’s certainly something shady with it.

Not to be critical Mark. I’d just hope you put some more thought into it next time. I doubt Mike and TechCrunch want to even leave the possibility of THAT type of criticism open.

No worries, FMA – we don’t consider you spam.

Um, FSB didn’t bitch about the screenshot I put up. He made an inane comment and then linked to his blog.

Spam wtf you add child porno on ur website and if someone bitches u call it spam???

I’ve swapped out the screenshot that you guys thought was inappropriate. I appreciate the sensitivity, but let’s try not to get too worked up about these things – it’s not like the photo showed anything you wouldn’t see in many public settings, or on lots of other perfectly acceptable websites for that matter.

In any case, it seems a bit unfortunate to me that many see a female in online video and automatically wonder whether it is porn. Let’s remember that there are many other, general audience uses for video online.

Also, Fake Steve Ballmer, your comments border on spam – please try to be funnier or stop leaving them. I don’t mean to be cruel, but come on…

Ryan,
It is streaming. Facebooks video application does not allow streaming.

@chris
I think the guy who posted it should have seen it, strange to see no response from techcrunch yet…

Yeah that screengrab should definitely be swapped out guys. I doubt BlogTV wants to be known as an underage upskirts site.

Why not just save all the FACEBOOK APP CRAP for a once a week posting? Do it all at once. I am so over all this FB nonsense. It’s almost like you have this obsession with that site that keeps you scouring the web for nothing but FB apps.

It will be interesting to see how long before FB clones the most popular apps and then bans the use of all the others.
