Crowdsourcing Breaking News and Weather

About

StormPins is changing the way cities communicate during severe weather and breaking news. Instead of just reporting events we link the entire city on one social platform to help the city agencies respond and recover. Stormpins a crowdsourcing breaking news app that allows app users and TV broadcasters to take pictures, video and 2-way chat and use it live on air. We also add local police, fire, emergency managers and utilities to the platform to have a city wide social network for emergency communication. Since June 2014 we have made $567,000 of new revenue at 4 TV stations and we take a rev-share of that. We make them money, increase ratings and engage their audience daily.
