Did you snap a million dollar shot of a newsworthy event? Don't give it away or waste it on social media! Use the Bideo iPhone app to sell it to news publications, and get PAID! If a picture is worth a thousand words, it might be worth a thousand dollars, but you'll never know unless you let the free market determine its worth.Bideo is the world's first online auction exchange for the real time trading of news video and photos. Our mission is to enable citizen photojournalists everywhere to tell their story and get compensated for it by selling their newsworthy images to news publications in an auction setting.The logic behind Bideo is simple: news stories are increasingly being driven by the availability of timely images taken directly from the scene. Given the omnipresence and advancements in camera technology, who's most likely to capture those shots? YOU! Not the professional news team, but the eyewitness holding a camera phone. YOU possess the power to drive the story, and we exist to help you leverage that power.
