Working on better connections for you all. It has been an exciting first two days for the team at Knocking Live Video. We could never have anticipated the unprecedented response to the first live video broadcast app. Anyone with a 3G or 3Gs iPhone can now share live video direct from phone to phone, with no uploads or time limits. It’s hard to imagine that this app almost didn’t make it to the iPhone. But thanks to our partner Brian, and to Steve Jobs, the world is beginning to knock.
- Knocking video almost never happened. The app had been rejected by Apple’s review process! After Brian submitted our app to iTunes, we were “crushed” when we received the rejection email from Apple . It was cryptic and impersonal. And there was no one to talk to, no one to clarify what we had to do to get it approved. But Brian didn’t give up. Finally after a month of wondering why our app didn’t make it through the approval process, Brian decided to write Steve Jobs a very personal email. He told Steve about the testing crew and our families’ love of knocking and how it had changed the way we were communicating. The email was sent out 11 days ago. Two days after the email was sent to Jobs, Brian got a call from someone in Apple’s upper management. One day later, the app was approved. We went wild. So Steve and Apple do care about the process and we are proof. Now Apple iTunes is host to a worldwide phenomenon.
- We want to thank all who have downloaded Knocking Live Video as well as Knocking Live Pic Sharing. We appreciate your support and your patience as we work to improve the knocking experience. The overwhelming response of people sharing video over the past two days has caused some problems which we are working hard to solve. We expect to be able to provide a great experience very shortly, so if you can’t connect right away try again after awhile. We are working 24/7 to provide the best, most unique sharing experience ever. Knocking. Stay tuned for some exciting updates with even more capability.
