This morning, I gave a presentation that was a retrospective on the Twinfluence application I unveiled at last year’s Barcamp Tampa Bay, and unveiled my latest project: VidSquid. I talked about how to leverage APIs to build social media applications - specifically, strategy for leveraging these applications to build a social media community.
In short, VidSquid is a crowdsourced, free, audience response system for YouTube. Take any YouTube video, and VidSquid lets users rate the video second by second, positive or negative. Some of the applications for VidSquid include:
- peer evaluation
- improving speeches and presentations
- commercials and advertising
- discussing home movies
- message campaign improvement
- speech/language coaching
- user interface evaluation
- etc….!
The BarCamp team is producing a video of my presentation, but since the venue had technical difficulties that prevented me from showing my Keynote presentation on the projector, I’m not holding high hopes of how useful it will be. Therefore, I’m attaching my presentation below as a Quicktime movie. It’s a huge file - 91MB - and in movie format, since it includes a number of animations/movie clips (hey, VidSquid is all about movies!).
Although there are features I’ll be adding over the next few weeks, VidSquid.net is live and open to the public. Give it a try!
