Switchcam: Social meets concert footage

Post by looking4OPH »

This is a cool concept. I think of it as Social meets concert recording meets audience concert footage. Go check it out. Nothing Buffett.....yet. And not sure how "we" would influence that, as I don't see any request mechanism to "flood" on the site. Switchcam does appear to still be in "beta".

As described in an audio recorder enthusiast forum I hang out in:
The entire video of a music concert is generally not available for free on video sharing sites like YouTube.
However, fans post their recorded videos, which they took when they attended it.
Veokami is a service that collates such videos concert-wise.

Switchcam has heard your plea for a Buffett concert and has come to the rescue: http://switchcam.com/event/jimmy-buffet ... treet-2011

Enjoy everyone!

Many thanks, Noah! Would figure with the current state of cameras in everyone's hand/pocket/phone, it would be MOTM 2011 that would get the first Switchcam Buffett concert. Appreciate your effort getting Parrotheads up on this new social medium. Do you count yourself among the feathered nation?

Well work on getting that MOTM 2011 up on the site. In the meantime I will relax and work at the same time in true Parrothead fashion :)

Hey just wanted to let everyone know that you now have the option to skip the FB login request. We got a ton of complaints about it, and wanted to make sure that everyone is able to watch their favorite artists whether they have FB or not. Cheers!
