About This Blog
At Operand, we design and develop interactive experiences for a living. We have a somewhat unique view of what interactivity means. In brief, we think it's bigger and more expansive than most other people seem to. We define six levels of interactivity and blog about art, architecture, advertising, exhibits, and other innovations that elevate interactivity.

Bambuser Live Mobile TV
I just discovered bambuser, a video sharing site from Sweden, on PSFK. Bambuser allows you to not just upload video but to create a video channel from your mobile phone or camcorder and therefore enabled live video from its user community. You can also geo-tag the video and send notifications via twitter, etc. As PSFK notes, this is the reverse path of where most folks are pushing video.
On the one hand, I’m interested in the increased immediacy of the contributory video experience. But on the other hand, it’s a little hard for me to see the utility of watching live video feeds of the daily lives of strangers. I’m sure there will be some big newsworthy event at which we can get an insider view hours before the news cameras arrive. But until then I fear we’ll have to sit through a lot of videos of people walking down the street or sitting in front of their computers not doing very much.
According to PSFK, the service has 1750 users from 50 countries. That’s still small, and the US presence is tiny. But it’s worth keeping an eye on.
