GoSee4Me
Here is an interesting development. Now you can see an image of anything, anywhere, from any angle, right through your Internet browser. It may sound like a breakthrough in technology but it's actually a breakthrough in group collaboration from a new web service called GoSee4Me.
Here’s how it works. Let's say you want to see something in another city, another state, or even in a different country. It can be an object, a structure, or anything else that you know exists in a particular location.
You simply register and log on to the GoSee4Me web site (http://www.GoSee4Me.com) and submit a request for the images that you want to see, including any specific requirements such as the view from a particular angle or a close-up of a particular detail.
Other registered members of GoSee4Me who live or work in the vicinity of that something will be notified by e-mail of your request. They will log in and submit a bid to provide you with the image or images you have requested.
You select who you want to take the photo(s) based on the price of the bids and the history rating of each photo taker. The image(s) are delivered to you through the GoSee4Me web site and your credit card is charged the winning bid amount plus GoSee4Me's processing fee (15% of the bid value or $15, whichever is greater).
Josh Rothman, president and founder of GoSee4Me, explains that the service is valuable both for business and personal use. “Businesses and consumers want unbiased information about products, physical locations, and facilities. Traveling just to go look at something is costly and inconvenient in comparison to obtaining candid photos from GoSee4Me of exactly what you want to see.”
Some anticipated uses for the service are to collect information about business customers and competitors, to verify expectations about vacation destinations prior to booking travel, and to obtain photos at ground-level of objects that are glimpsed in satellite images.
