The Gaggle Story
One day, not so very long ago, the team at Smart Video wanted to start an instant group video chat using their mobile phones. Two hours later they had still not managed to see and meet with each other despite trying the various software providers available. And that's how Gaggle was born.
'Let's build this for ourselves and call it Gaggle', they said. 'And maybe others will find it useful too?'
This is what it will do:
So then they asked the world what they thought of the idea and thousands eagerly awaiting Beta Testers later,
they're planning to launch the Beta version of Gaggle in 3 months time.
'Let's build this for ourselves and call it Gaggle', they said. 'And maybe others will find it useful too?'
This is what it will do:
- Operate as a simple app on all mobile devices
- No joining form to fill in - just use our Twitter or Facebook sign ins
- One tap and you can 'Start Gaggling' i.e. be video broadcasting to others with the app
- Automatically all your contacts in all your social networks get notified and can join in
- Or you can simply 'Slide In' individual contacts and they get notified that you're 'Gaggling'
- Everyone who joins your Gaggle can participate and you set the rules with control over who can speak
- You can even make your Gaggle public to anyone who has the app - and other Gagglers can join in or just watch
- The app will 'honk' if a Gaggle is taking place and you're invited or it's someone you follow on Gaggle or it's a topic you want to be notified about'
So then they asked the world what they thought of the idea and thousands eagerly awaiting Beta Testers later,
they're planning to launch the Beta version of Gaggle in 3 months time.
