Spreecast builds an interactive social online video broadcasting platform that allows up to four people to stream face-to-face while hundreds of viewers watch, chat, and participate. Viewers can request to join on camera and producers can manage who appears on-screen. The service is integrated with Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and Spreecasts can be embedded on the web with instant playback for continued sharing. The product supports both public and private broadcasts and is designed to drive views and shares after the live experience. The company was conceived by Jeff Fluhr, co-founder of StubHub. Spreecast said its new financing will be used for hiring, community expansion and product development. Spreecast is a browser-based social video platform built on Flash that enables interactive online video broadcasts. Up to four people can appear face-to-face streaming live while hundreds can watch, chat, and participate by submitting comments and questions. Viewers can request to join on camera and producers can manage the action; broadcasts are integrated with Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Spreecasts are recorded and made immediately available for playback and sharing; by default they are public but users can also create private Spreecasts. The platform is the brainchild of Jeff Fluhr, co-founder of StubHub. The company has raised $4 million in seed funding and plans to use the new capital to hire additional engineers and staff, build out the product platform, and expand the community.
