Meetup Rules: Taking Away the Social Video Fear Factor

Less than two weeks ago, Team Vpype created “Social Video” group on Meetup. Last week, we invited social video enthusiasts, Vpype early beta users and fans on Facebook to our first Meetup in Santa Clara, California at Techmart. The attendance was more than we expected. People came from all over the Bay area (Silicon Valley). Everyone got a chance to test Vpype’s live, video broadcasting capability and learn more about the company and our unique position in the social media /social video space.

For us, the Meetup gave us more insight into how our newest broadcasters will use Vpype to connect with their friends and family, and promote their businesses, events, expertise and opinions.

We had experts at the Meetup, who talked about the Social Video market and where we fit, and how we are different. Vpype Product Manager gave a tutorial on how easy it is to use Vpype. Computers (Windows laptops and netbooks and Macs) were set up with Wi-fi access with optional coaches (if needed) so that everyone could try a live, interactive broadcast during the Meetup.

We covered how to practice live broadcasting with only “you” as the starring broadcaster. We also disclosed a bit of information about our future and more about Vpype Live Broadcaster options, including future ones.

Our attendees were enthusiastic about the forming their own social video community. They finally have a social networking environment that allows them to do more with their computers’ built-in microphones and webcams.
