Company Summary
At Limelight, we are taking the existing Social Media model and flipping it on its head. Limelight’s unique map lets you visualize where users are concentrated while easily navigating to locations of interest to request photos & insights from real people around the world.
We are leveraging this powerful social interaction to create an exciting new way for major news outlets and content providers to quickly crowd source content globally. Our users will benefit financially by becoming citizen-journalists and newsrooms will benefit as we are effectively increasing the number and availability of real time photographers at breaking news events and streamlining the entire process. This will save news organizations time and money while rewarding a passionately engaged community of citizen journalists!
