LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/07/12 -- Los Angeles-based
startup company Vloggo.com has one thing on its mind: making video
the primary form of sharing in online communities. Unlike status
notifications or "tweets," Vloggo members use short videos (sixty
seconds or less) to express their daily lives. Users are able
utilize an iPhone application, computer webcams or traditional file
uploading to share videos on a friendly host platform where
individuals can "follow" other Vloggo users, share videos, and link
into Facebook and Twitter.
CEO Luke Wojnowski was quoted saying: "The website was built
with simplicity in mind. Video is the most sophisticated form of
social media sharing, but Vloggo is simpler to use than any of the
big social websites. A 90-year-old grandmother can share on Vloggo
just as easily as the tech hungry teenager." Since users can upload
anything from dinner meals, to concerts, to parties, Vloggo wants
the process of uploading to be quick and simple. "If it's worth
uploading, we want users to record, upload and share, then get back
to the fun," said Wojnowski.
Vloggo anticipates seeing a large increase in political oriented
videos during the electoral season. "Video is a personal medium and
it takes a certain amount of conviction to discuss a political
candidate. A vlog shows true commitment to a political view," said
CFO Alec Jossens. Vloggo will not be endorsing any particular
candidate during the season, but encourages users to say what's on
their mind and why they support their candidates.
Vloggo has spent the last several months strengthening their
platform and adding security features to ensure all users have a
fun and safe time on the website. Those who want to share videos
just among followers have the option to make their accounts private
where users must approve those who will be following them. "We see
this as a great tool for college students to keep in touch with
friends between classes as well as helping troops overseas keep in
touch with their families. The application has limitless
possibilities."
Vloggo.com, which launched on January 26th, is currently
recruiting additional developers and growing their executive team
with the hopes to grow in the international market. "We have some
exciting meetings coming up and can't wait for the future. It's
great to see people recognizing video as an important part of
social media."
