I found out about Houston-based Cell-it in this article from Webware, talking about the state of video classified ads today. In the article they talk about how the broader use of video classifieds is overdue and whether smaller companies can get enough traction in the market before someone like Google or EBay tries to take over the space. Cell-it appears to make it very easy to get started with uploading video classifieds shot from your cellphone. Here are some excerpts from the about section of their site:
- Cell)))it makes it easy. Just take a picture or video and email the media to 4sale @ cellit.us.
- Early interest is high perhaps because the first listing is FREE for new accounts.
- The site feeds all items to Google Base for re-listing with the available thumbnails and user supplied description.
- For sellers this is a real bargain. Video that’s quick and easy. Using your cell-phone eliminates the need for pc completely. Look for Cell)))it to partner with the major cell carriers that are looking for ways to extend their data networks.
There you go, free and easy, so get out there and give it a try. I know that most of you are probably thinking about selling your old gadgets to buy an iPhone next week, so here’s your excuse.
This is exactly what I expected to find out after reading the title ))it lets you serve up video classified ads from your cellphone at Startup Houston. Thanks for informative article
