Viral Marketing -- hitting a pinata over the web

19 pointsby danecjensenover 14 years ago
Cam.ly is a video monitoring platform. We sell cameras that stream and record video to the internet. You can place our cameras to watch anything and you can watch from anywhere. We originally envisioned our product as a Security Camera, but could work well as a baby monitor, nanny cam, or dog watcher. We built this demo to showcase our product (keep posted for a blog post about how we did it). We would like some feedback from HN. What do you think of demo? Does the demo help you understand our product? And finally how do we make this go viral?

Took me a minute to figure out what was going on - the ability to go back in time of a live video feed is pretty neat, though it doesn't always seem jump to a keyframe, resulting in video artifacts.<p>Seems like a neat idea - instead of buying one of those expensive video multiplexer with bunch of cameras, just subscribe to a service that does all of the video storage and processing for you. How much BW does each camera consume? If I was using this for something important, I'd be afraid of losing footage due to internet connection issues.

Ask for my email before showing me something worth it? Yeah right.

I've gone twice, and it's working perfectly for my coworkers. You need to click the 'Start busting pinata' button when it shows up for you.

Put something interesting on the rope, like a politician or Justin Bieber and people would be all over this. :-)

well, I was up for my turn and then mysteriously someone else was that wasn't even on the list and I, also mysteriously, didn't get a pinata turn. Also, I have no idea what is going on UI wise.

Everyone in the office is queued up to hit it now. I already went once!
