Stream.ma
Matthew and Georgina Miller created Stream.ma, a new cloud-based display wall that aggregates and displays real-time social media updates in a beautiful interface, after their observation of three key trends over the past five years. They’d noticed widespread adoption of social media, smartphone uptake, and the affordability of large display screens for public events.
Stream.ma was designed to create buzz around an event and make the most of interactivity. Social media can be chaotic and fragmented, and it’s often difficult to get an overview of the conversations that are going on on various platforms at any one time.
Some happen on Facebook, some on Twitter, some Instagram. Some use a hashtag, some don’t, or multiple hashtags can happen for one event.
They saw the opportunity for a simple web-based application that would bring everything into one easy-to-use, aesthetically pleasing display, where the whole work would see the stream of content unfolding in real time.
It has application for weddings, business expos, conferences, political events and more.
Judges said it was a great, simple idea that met a very important market need.
“Beautiful design and user interface.”
