Mobile Application Quickly Ties Photo & Video Content To Location
Pegshot is a mobile location-based application for iPhone and Android that enables people to quickly publish videos and photos of what’s happening where they are within sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. Users snap photos through the application or upload existing ones, using the interface to tie images to their GPS location and select what place or event they are at.
The service incorporates gaming elements through a scoreboard that awards users points things like number of shots uploaded, being first to upload at a particular event or venue, and uploading video. On its surface the application looks like a simple way to share photos with friends, but we see Pegshot as having a deeper opportunity to grow into a standardized service-like platform for providers of all types to quickly attach content to location.
