GlobalMojo

Ifra asked me to write a special report about mojos. I’ve just finished the draft. It’s about 13,000 words. Will finish with some recommendations about the best tools: another 2,000 words. Have tested Qik, Bambuser, Flixwagon, Shozu and Kyte. Of these, I find Qik, Bambuser and Flixwagon the most relevant for reporting breaking news. My criteria were simplicity of use and quality of image. Kyte and Shozu were difficult even to download onto my phone. Shozu is fine for still pictures. Video quality varies, depending I suspect on how far my phone is from the server, and the calibre of the local wireless broadband networks. Because Qik’s servers are in California (the closest to Australia), I get pretty fast response. Bambuser is based in Sweden and Flixwagon in Israel, yet I still get pretty fast connections. Any suggestions appreciated. See earlier post about practising as a mojo at my local paper.
