Seero: seriously good travel and video idea

March 19, 2008 by Neil Maclean 

How about broadcasting your next resort opening in Barbados? Instead of flying a posse of hacks out to the sun, send round a complimentary pina colada to the office and invite them to watch the event live on the internet (yes, yes! they’ll love that).

Webware reports that Seero has opened for business with a service intended to link live and archived videos to their locations - a “geo-broadcasting platform” no less. And it looks great. No, I can’t get any of the location videos to work right now, but it does look great.

Their business model unsurprisingly involves running ads relevant to the locations in the videos; which, is probably a lot more useful than serving ads related to tags.

The sort of equipment you need to broadcast live is detailed on the Seero help page and needless to say, it doesn’t involve a film crew and catering truck.

As the blurb goes: “If you are a citizen journalist, local tour guide, back road explorer, talented performer, or simply have a great destination to unveil, Seero is your platform to broadcast your world.”

Wait, do we need to be concerned about the citizen journalist on that list - aka disgruntled customer? “Coming to you live from our cockroach-infested cabana in Cancun! Zoom in on the map to see exactly where not to stay!”
