SnapStream at NAB 2008 (Booth SU6008)

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I’ve already had several people ask me if we’ll be at NAB 2008 — the answer is, yes! We’ll be in the South Upper Hall, not too far from the entrance. Our booth number is South Upper Hall 6008 (SU6008).

If you’d like to schedule a meeting, drop us an e-mail at enterprise at snapstream dot com, or just stop on by. Several members of our team will be there and we’ll be showing off the latest version of SnapStream Enterprise.

Hope to see you there!

Update: Here’s are directions on how to get to our booth at NAB

SnapStream generates buzz at George Washington University

Friday, March 7th, 2008

George Washington University’s independent student newspaper, the GW Hatchet, reports on the use of our SnapStream Enterprise product in the School of Media and Public Affairs. The story highlights the impact that SnapStream’s television search technology will have at GWU’s public policy and journalism schools, making it so that faculty and students can search television broadcasts for educational research and analysis. A few choice quotes:

Sean Aday, an associate professor at GWU, says:

“It’s a great tool for research. For example, with the recent news about the U.S. embassy in Serbia, we could collect and compare coverage from all the networks. Graduate students, especially in the research methods class, will be able to conduct their own content analysis.”

Paul Fucito, GWU’s director of communications, says:

“It takes seconds and minutes now to do what took weeks or months. After recording, let’s say a month of Andersen Cooper, you can then go back type in relevant keywords, find the clips that apply and watch those segments.”
