Beat Feet

(Micro Company Concept 1.)

Beat Feet is a massive online community of bird watchers, bird enthusiasts, and folks willing to share unique views of bird life and bird habitats through the use of Beat Feet software and homebrew hardware.

Beat Feet is a unique app platform that runs on small computers with sensors (camera, microphone, sizeometer, etc.) or old phones and devices. Once setup to your home wifi, and plugged into a power adapter Beat Feet uses the device to monitor the environment for sounds, and movement, and profiles of birds that it identifies and displays them on your community profile like “Total number of birds in my area, total types, different categories, frequency, etc.”

Users who download and install Beat Feet to their devices, and agree to share data with Beat Feet, will get a standard user membership for free to use Beat Feets’ online repertoire of other user supplied videos and global statistics on birds. Guests to the site are encouraged to register, but can watch a few sponsored feeds with an unpaid membership. Exclusive subscribers to Beat Feet get access to HD prints and photos supplied by sponsored members in the PRO Photo section. Also in the PRO Photo section, standard members or contributors can upload high resolution photos of birds spotted for others to request prints of or download them (for a royalty fee given to the artist and a small percentage fee to Beat Feet for hosting costs.)
