Walking the floors of Pepcom's Digital Experience, one booth that caught my eye was Juice Caster. I remember perusing my literally thousands of emails from CES and finding a meeting request to meet with Juice Wireless and thought nothing of it. Now in hindsight I wished I booked a meeting with them rather than some others that were a complete waste of time, but that is another story...
JuiceCaster is a mobile application that allows users to post content onto their favorite sites instantly and simultaneously. Social networking sites have grown tremendously; 2 out of 3 persons online visit a social networking site during each internet session. At the same time, mobile phones have grown to become more than just voice communication tools; they are becoming a means for empowering self-expression on the Internet while on-the-go.
JuiceCaster is designed to make it easy for consumers to incorporate every day life with their social network by providing the ability for users to capture and upload photos and video with virtually any mobile phone and social networking/blogging site.
Because it's free, easy to use, and brings your cell phone to life! Use JuiceCaster to post videos and pictures directly from your phone to:
- Your personal JuiceCaster Player which you can put on 100's of your favorite sites like MySpace, Hi5, and Xanga
- Your desktop Player or the desktops of your friends
- And to any other cell phone user!
Plus, you can watch great videos, meet new friends, make comments and more - right on your phone, right now!
As a JuiceCaster user, you are free to select the user networks that fit your lifestyle and reflect your interests. You also have complete freedom over where to view your favorite channels and interact with friends or other members:
- On Your Phone - capture content via your camera phone, download JuiceCaster to your handset, or visit the JuiceCaster WAP site (www.juicecaster.com/wap) to view and comment on your favorite channels, pictures, and videos
- On Your Desktop - download JuiceCaster to your desktop to automatically receive all the latest pictures and videos on your favorite subjects
- On The Web - add JuiceCaster to your personal webpage or social networking site to share your favorite content with friends and visitors
- On Facebook - add JuiceCaster's 'Mobile Video' application and show your cell phone pictures/videos to your friends right on your Facebook profile
- At JuiceCaster.com - create a profile, manage your account, and check out the top JuiceCasts and JuiceCasters right from our homepage
They also have a Mobile Video Search, which is a free service that anyone with a video-capable cell phone can use. By texting keywords to ‘84462’, users can watch desired videos on-demand as the search tool replies with links for the requested content.
I have yet had some free time to use it, but when I do I will be sure to post up a review of it.
