Column: Austin’s Vivogig helps pool concert photos
We get pitched a lot of local start-ups in the tech realm, some with ideas that are simply too inside-baseball (or business-to-business), others where the idea seems good, but the execution isn’t there and some that just don’t stand out from the crowd.
For this week’s Digital Savant column, we feature Vivogig, which is aimed at concertgoers, approaches the problem of “Photoscatter” in an interesting way, and which, at least in its early form, shows a nice design style. It’s a site and app that allows people to share photos (as well as emotions and tags) from a live event, primarily music concerts. The iOS app, which has been in testing for a few months, launches publicly in January, but you can participate on their site now. We like what we see so far.
We also talk a bit about the recent Gowalla news in the column and make mention of next week’s launch of “Star Wars: The Old Republic,” a massive Austin-developed game that I’m currently writing about for a piece that’ll run in the Statesman on Saturday.
