Zeega isn’t particularly new (Matter-backed startup launched mid-2013) but I wanted to call attention to an interesting trend of mashup UGC communities. Zeega provides a canvas to mix music/audio + video + GIFs + imagery into a slideshow-like presentation. Users can also remix these creations, adding their own twist (which leads to fascinating opportunities for celebrity and brand engagement).
Here are a few fun examples:
- Now This News (12/6) - http://zeega.com/160066
- A Short History of the Animated GIF - http://zeega.com/158038
- There will be corgis. - http://zeega.com/152352

- CheckThis (@fredd & team moved onto the awesome Frontback) -http://checkthis.com/
Big question is how do these platforms translate to the more constrained, bandwidth strapped mobile interface?
