CrowdFire at Outside Lands

I’m not going to be able to make Outside Lands this year, despite planning on doing so, but if you are you might want to check out CrowdFire, a social network that seems to be centered around festivals and scrapbooking, sharing and remixing music experiences via photos, videos and the like.

John Battelle, one of the people behind CrowdFire, sums up the experience:

“When the festival starts, the CrowdFire really gets going. We’ll all be able to send SMS, email, and uploads of our media directly into the CrowdFire database, and we’ll have media jockeys creating streams of CrowdFire imagery in real time, which we’ll send back out into the festival grounds through a network of digital screens. We’ll also send them out into the ether of the Web, for anyone to experience. And anyone can do the same – which is pretty cool.”

The Bottom Line

I don’t know too much about the service, and couldn’t really see myself getting much use out of it during a festival as I’d be focused on the music. And my friends. And the beer. However, it’s kind of cool to see something like this pop up.
