Knocking Live Video, the first ever 3G phone-to-phone cross platform live video streaming app, has announced to have around a million users as on April 1, 2010. This success follows just four months since the day of release. As Knocking Live Video’s consumer base and adoption rate keeps increasing, individuals and communities are constantly trying to find unique ways of implementing the application into their lives.
Besides reaching one million user base in only 121 days, Knocking seems to have shared around 917,000 video sessions in about three weeks since the launch of the applications version 1.2. This version allowed cross-platform video sessions between Android and iPhone devices. The average knock appears to last for about over a minute, with users sharing over 50,000 video sessions per day. In about 24 hours, the application seems to share over 38 days worth of live video.
Brian Meehan, lead developer and co-founder of Knocking Live Video commented on this feat by saying that, “Building a community one million strong in such a short period of time is a testament to Knocking’s usefulness, unrivaled popularity, and position in the market. As the only 3G, phone-to-phone streaming video app, Knocking’s completely viral. We add around 13,000 new users a day on word-of-mouth alone.”
Apart from using the application to stay in touch with their near and dear ones, users are also using it for other purposes. For instance, a hearing-impaired iPhone user applies Knocking to communicate in sign-language and share his life with friends and family. Jim Montalto explained that the company keeps hearing about how their application is helping users change their life.
