Very interesting post. Please let me know if I can share this post with users on ReelSEO.com. I will link back and give credits.
An interesting feature they have is that once the streaming has started, the playback is in synch, meaning you and your friend will see the same playback at the same time, and will be able to control the playback together.
@Video SEO: I am ok with it, as long as you don’t fully copy my post.
@Nark: Yup, i believe this is their main advantage. Looks like 2 users can watch movie together even they are not in same place!
I’ve never heard of this site. I will definitely check it out thanks!
@bandit: Hope you enjoy it and tell me your comments after using it.
This is very interesting. I can think of a few ways this can be used in social networking. I’m certain my readers will be interested.
