Mobile Socialcasting with Kyte

Abstract

Kyte enables anyone to create their own interactive TV channel on their website, blog, social network or mobile phone.
A 'Kyter' can share a Kyte channel with friends and collaborate with them so that they can also be a part of the show, by adding their own content, by voting and by chatting live with other viewers. With Kyte mobile, you can share experiences live with the world and be star, director and producer of your own TV channel.

The company is funded by global investors, including: Atomico (co-founded by Niklas Zennström), Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Draper Richards, Ron Conway, Swisscom, Holtzbrinck Ventures, and Nokia.

Quick Demo

I used a Nokia N73 for this example.

Please mouse over the widget & click on theright 'arrow' (aka the 'greater than' symbol) to actually see a screencast (video) of how the mobile phone application looked like during this lifestream session.
