Greg Afarian of Zipvo on its video sharing platform for Realtors

BrokerIPTV: We are at Inman Connect 2008 in San Francisco. We are up on the second story of the Palace Hotel and we are talking today with Greg... can you say your last name again Greg?

Greg Afarian: Afarian.

BrokerIPTV: Afarian, [Inaudible] zipvo. So, tell me about Zipvo though.

Greg Afarian: Zipvo is a video sharing platform where realtors are coming to our site and they are uploading videos. It is free for them to do. If they don't have a video, they could actually create a video using our photovideo and it is a nice way of them broadcasting their listings over the Internet. They can embed that and put them on their MLS and it is a free and easy way to do that.

BrokerIPTV: So, what other tools does Zipvo provide for the real estate community?

Greg Afarian: Okay, so, some of the other tools that we have, we actually just launched the iPhone. So, now they don't have to... your customer doesn't drive by the listing. They could actually check out the video on the iPhone and that's actually... we would like to say we're the first ones to do that, that we are actually out there with video, supporting flash video on the iPhone, not like on YouTube. It is brand new.

BrokerIPTV: Great. So, do you guys provide embeds or widgets or things of that nature for agents sites and blogs?

Greg Afarian: Yes, all the above. We have a widget, we got the embed codes, we actually just partnered up with MLS PIN and they are the ninth biggest[Phonetic] MLS and all their agents when they opt-in are going to get access to the blog, the profile, create a video, upload their videos and then they are all going to be on their listings.

BrokerIPTV: Great. Well, we appreciate you talking about your product today Greg and once again, it is zipvo.com, right?

Greg Afarian: z-i-p-v-o.com.
