Company: Eyespot
What is it? Online video Web site Eyespot, which provides users online video editing tools (or mash-up tools), will announce a mobile phone application that is integrated with the online mashup tools. The application will let users subscribe to Eyespot.com video feeds from the mobile phone, as well as use the mobile application to search for other videos, share their videos with friends, vote on favorites.
Intro to Eyespot: The company is also using the Demofall announcement to let people know about the site, which launched in April. The online video editing tools allow people to upload their own video clips, photos and music, and create new videos based on the existing clips, or from public domain-type video clips that the site also provides. The resulting "mash-up" videos then can be shared with others in the community, or even sent to other video sites such as Blip.TV and Veoh, the company says. Created videos also can be downloaded or hosted on a user's blog. "We're all about giving users user-friendly tools that can be created anywhere and played on any device," says David Dudas, CTO at Eyespot.
How will the company make money? The online service is used to showcase the company's mash-up platform, which it will sell to other content providers so they can offer these services on their own sites. In addition, companies that want to provide their own content for mash-ups but not deal with the platform can work with Eyespot by providing video content.
