Because we're founded and based in Houston, SnapStream is very excited to help sponsor the Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers (TAMIO) 2013 Annual Conference, being held June 6 and 7 in College Station, TX.

Lunch and Learn with SnapStream

TAMIO will bring together more than 100 public communicators from cities across Texas to exchange information and ideas. In support of TAMIO's mission, which addresses "the increasingly complex role of public information in municipal government," SnapStream is hosting a lunch presentation on Thursday, June 6.

TV Monitoring for City Government

One of the most critical responsibilities of any public information professional is media monitoring, which largely consists of tracking television news coverage.

But hey, for a small department, TV monitoring can consume a lot of your human resources, or eat up your budget with clipping services. That's where SnapStream's technology provides the best of both worlds.

Lunch & Learn with SnapStream:

We are excited to support the Kansas Association of Public Information Officers (KAPIO) at their annual conference this week, as the platinum level sponsor.

Scholars, practitioners, teachers and students, from universities near and far, will congregate at Journalism Interactive to share their successful approaches for delivering journalism education in today's metamorphic media space.

We want toys!

Tech toys, that is. We, at SnapStream, have an obsession with shiny new gadgetry. And during the holiday season, our tech-lust gets extreme. Here's what's topping our collective wish list for this year.

By human nature, we all love new things: The rush of adopting the latest technology. The smell of a new car. The opening night at the movies.

The excitement of a new release of SnapStream.

Today we're rolling out 5.7, which expands the scope of recording, searching and managing TV from your Web browser. Schedule your upgrade with our support team to gain access to these useful, new features:

1. Display search results by TV show

A new user-level setting allows you to auto-collapse search results by TV show, creating a macro view of all mentions. In this example, the results are collapsed by TV show, displaying an overview of where the search term Obama appears. Click the arrows to expand the results.

Because TV is our world, we are very excited to exhibit at Content and Communications World, November 14 - 15, at booth #856.

SnapStream enables TV show creatives to easily search TV and incorporate TV clips into their programs. Shows like The Soup, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report all tap into SnapStream's endless supply of up-to-the-minute pop culture and news clips.

This is the time we live in: the "clip culture."

Video clips are suddenly everywhere. They have jumped from the Internet and splattered all over TV. Talk shows, entertainment/comedy shows and even hard-hitting news programs have all added TV clips into the mix of writing and production.
