Nearly Instant Sports Photos To Your Mobile Phone
Over in the UK a company has come up with another interesting use for camera phones and mobile messaging. Empics is going to offer a service for sports fans which will send photos of important plays at sporting events within twenty seconds of the action happening. Basically, they're taking the idea of sporting alerts and adding a near-real-time photo to it. When dealing with sports fans, who are often willing to pay for such things, it sounds like a good idea.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
