Promise
Have you ever been out and about and wished that you could share your experiences instantly with your friends? If the answer is yes, then Bambuser is the latest essential must have application for your phone.
Performance
Bambuser allows users to stream live video on the move in real time directly to social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. It is so easy to use that once you have downloaded the application and signed up for free, you can be streaming live footage in seconds.
The application is perfect for travellers and journalists alike and accessible with most smart phones, including the Nokia N96, Motorola CLIQ, and the Sony Ericsson Satio in addition to the iPhone.
The quality of the live video stream is superb, offering virtually no delay thanks to proprietary technology, meaning that it provides users with the closest thing possible to physically being in the same location as the broadcaster.
The biggest draw of Bambuser is that it works anywhere, so not matter where you are in the world, you can instantly share live video. It’s also fully interactive, allowing for instant interaction as the broadcaster can view incoming chat messages from viewers as they record.
The only drawback is that the playback quality on previously shot videos is not brilliant and is very slow. However for its primary purpose – live video streaming – it is excellent, and far better than other competitors like Qik, particular because it is a lot simpler to use.
Verdict
Since it's available on a wide range of phone, this is a hugely accessible app. It’s also completely free. All you need is a steady and reliable internet connection. You can even geotag your clips to share your location with your friends. All your clips are viewable at any time wherever you nominate to publish them in addition to the Bambuser website. Incredibly simple to use, Bambuser offers the ability to share high quality video and communicate wherever they are at any time at the click of a button.
This looks set to explode in popularity in the months ahead.
