SeeMe TV - Top Mobile Apps Revisited 2006

App: SeeMe TV

Company: Yo Space/3

Year it was a Top Mobile App: 2006

Why it was a Top Mobile App: YouTube was starting to come into its own, but Yo Space offered a different model for user-generated content. Yo Space enticed 3's subscribers to send in videos captured through their mobile phones in exchange for cold, hard cash. SeeMeTV made no caveats, but it did pay out: to both the users and the carrier. Click here for more.

Its current status: Since 2006, the SeeMe TV service has evolved to become the EyeVibe service, which is now available across all UK operators. In February 2008, SeeMeTV and LookAtMe! combined into a single open-access community, supported by a cross-media marketing campaign. Today, according to Yo Space, the service has generated over 35 million downloads with a total of more than $ 1.85 million paid back to contributors.
