What can you use the app for?
Flixwagon offers users a way to stream live video on the web from their mobile phone. Users with a WiFi or 3G enabled mobile device can broadcast videos as they take them from their phones. User can also sort videos on the Flixwagon site by time aired and number of views. The video appears with a title, links to the user’s other videos, an embedded map with location details, buttons that allow the user to favorite, download or link to the video (as well as a flag clip to report it) and an area for user comments. Users can also search for videos by keyword. Flixwagon also offers a B2B program for users who would like to produce professional streaming videos that are custom branded with white label features.
What is the history and popularity of the app?
Flixwagon was created to provide users with a live mobile video broadcasting service that anyone can use. The company is based in Tel Aviv, Israel and consists of around 10 individuals, including Chairman Arie Offner and Vice President Roi Ginat. The company received seed funding in January of 2007 as well as additional funding in January of 2009 and 2010.
What are the differences to other apps?
There are a number of websites that allow users to upload their personal videos to the web. What makes Flixwagon unique is the way the application also offers live, streaming video broadcasts. If the user has a 3G or WiFi enabled phone, they can create their own live video that is shareable all over the web.
How does the web app look and feel to use?
The Flixwagon website offers users a clean, neat and playful design that gives it a uniquely vibrant personality. The friendly Flixwagon logo features a smiling yellow face with a red cap and antennae on either side. The homepage includes a few links across the top of the page with the search tool at the center. Each video is presented with a map, comments and other details along the right side and below the clip.
How does the registration process work?
New users can join the Flixwagon community by clicking the black “Register” link along the upper, right hand side of the homepage. The following page includes the registration form, which asks for a mailing address, username, password, phone number, date of birth and security code entry. The bottom of the form includes a note that advises the user that by submitting their information, they are confirming their agreement with the Flixwagon privacy policy and terms of service. After completing the form, the user can click the stylish red and white “Next” button to submit their details and begin using Flixwagon.
What does it cost to use the application?
Users can create a Flixwagon account for free. There are no subscription fees or other costs associated with viewing videos and creating a broadcast. The user can access as many videos as they like. The site also lists a B2B option that includes professional features. Users interested in a B2B account should contact Flixwagon.
Who would you recommend the application to?
Flixwagon.com is a fun website for anyone who would like to share video online. The application is easy to use and allows the user to create a live, streaming broadcast rather than forcing the user to upload videos after they have been recorded.
