The Flixwagon store is now open for business in the U.S, UK, and EU. Get your Flixwagon t-shirt, hat, or bag today:
http://flixwagon.spreadshirt.com  Flixwagon was created on
the idea that capturing and sharing video should be fast and easy. We realized
that existing ways to share video were too cumbersome and that there was a
better way. This is why we started Flixwagon. Our friends at Boxee are also trying to
change the world, but with a very different focus. Boxee is
building the ultimate social media center which we believe can change the way
people consume and share digital content at home. Boxee allows
users to easily consume and share video, photos, and music from various sources
on their computers and TVs, interact with their friends around this content,
and more. We think this is a huge leap from anything that's out there
today. Boxee just came out
with their alpha for mac. We encourage you to sign up for their alpha plan,
download, and get ready for an entirely new and exciting media center
experience. We're happy to announce that flixwagon was nominated for MobileBeat 2008: VentureBeat's top mobile applications competition.

Enjoy! Good news for you Flixers! You can now set or change your sharing settings for a particular video before or during the broadcast. That means that even if your default sharing is set to “public” you can change a video to “private” right before you decide to ride the mechanical bull with your friends on a Friday night and broadcast it live. Don’t want to share that one with everybody! Or you can change your video to “public” so everyone can see how great of a time you had at the Superbowl.
Good news for all bloggers and website owners!

Let your artistic side show by broadcasting the Hawaiian sunset holding the phone horizontally to capture the beautiful landscape. How?
