April 17, 2007 - DigVig.com website launches in beta-test stage today, to let people share their life moments with the users around the world.
DigVig is a video sharing site that differs from the variety of the similar models in the way that its platform allows users to link their video clips to specific location on the map. The DigVig team encourages the visitors to upload the videos of their life moments, with the special focus on the locations where the video has been shot. To facilitate the search for specific locations, the homepage contains an interactive Google map with the icons showing the number of videos in a certain geographic zone. The user uploading the video will be able to define the relevant location on the map – by manually dragging the icon to the location or by setting the geographic coordinates – so that the viewers could associate his/her clip with a location identified.
Despite this specific focus on location, DigVig is not a purely geotagging site for travelers. Rather, it is a home for people who enjoy lifecasting, i.e. fixing one’s moments of life, thoughts and reflections, to share with an audience. Any user can upload a video of his/her life that he/she wants to share with the users in the world. The viewers will comment on it, and thus a specific occasion seen with your eyes will take different shapes when seen and commented on by audience. This way the posters and the viewers can express their viewpoints on different places and events.
The search is not only enabled by the location. DigVig team has set up various categories (channels) which the posters can relate their videos to.
The posters can as well set tags onto their clips which will facilitate the search by a specific related word or phrase. The visitors will also be able to view the files categorized by “the most recent”, “the most discussed”, “favourites” etc.
Although DigVig differentiates itself from the video sites for travelers, the latter will definitely find lots of interesting information to plan their trips.
Should you find a place or an event of a special interest – post it, and the viewer planning a visit to a neighbourhood will have a chance to see the location with his/her own eyes. Should you plan a trip, and wish to see something other than the traditional guides offer you in their tours – just enter DigVig and see what the local unofficial – and in some cases freaky – “guides” have offered you to see.
The advertisers will find DigVig site advantageous, too. The platform developed by the DigVig team enables the integration of the posted clips with the advertisers’ videos, thus enabling the location based advertising.
For instance, a clip shot in, say, Manhattan, and linking to it on the map, will be interesting for a brand that runs its business in the neighbourhood.
DigVig presents the world as it is: it shows the peacefulness of an unexplored wilderness and the noise of a metropolitan business centre, it shows the despair of a desolated and ruined country-side, and the liveliness of a Pacific resort, it shows the ugly face of war and it shows the beauty moments of peacefulness. You will live the nostalgic moments after having seen a clip with a place you visited one day; you will find a destination for the next vacation; you will tell the world the story of the happiest (or, maybe, saddest) moments of your life. This is your world, but it is now reflected in the millions eyes of the world.
