Week 6 - Blog Review

The blog I chose to review is HD Relay Blog because it is very similar to the concept of my entrepreneurial idea. As you know my idea is to provide live video gym feeds for all of the SU Athletic facilities. HD Relay is a company that provides live video feeds with over 5,000 state of the art cameras deployed around the world. Their blog consists of different events that they provided feeds for and how people use their business.

The most recent post on their blog was about the famous Big Fresno Fair hosted in California. The blog post was dated October 5th, 2011 which means that they are constantly covering different events and updating their blog. This company has a good head on its shoulder and could be a potential participant in helping out with the SU Athletics Live Gym feed.

A blog post dated September 6, 2011 definitely caught my attention. It is a post about how a Mixed Martial Arts (Victory MMA) gym teamed up with HD Relay to provide live gym feeds of their own facilities. The MMA gym is very proud of their new live gym feed and use it to promote their business. They are trying to get customers to move towards their MMA facility rather then a normal health facilities. However not many people know what an MMA gym would look like and this is why they provide virtual tours. This is where HD Relay comes into play. The Victory MMA gym has now moved away from virtual tours and provides live gym feeds to excite their customers. Consecutive members use the video feeds to watch different MMA techniques in the cage or to watch a class and see who is instructing. According to the MMA gym the live video feeds have been extremely successful and are worth the money.

This is given proof of a gym using live video feeds to their benefit. This is why SU should move towards the live video feeds and allow students to view the facilities.
