Hang W/ has 2 Million users! •Upload stream to YouTube (coming soon)
Meerkat has been blowing up recently, but Hang w/ has been quietly building a user base of 2 million strong with their live-streaming video app.
Before Meerkat, there’s been one live-streaming video app that has been holding the block down for a few years now. While all the media attention is on Meerkat and the recent news of them raising $12 million from Greylock, and other investors, Hang w/ has built a die-hard user base of 2 million strong while ironing out all the kinks and pain points that Meerkat will soon discover in the next year or so.
So what exactly is Hang w/? If I were to put it simply, it is exactly what Meerkat is trying to achieve. In a nutshell, Hang w/ is an established live-streaming video app and social platform that allows you to broadcast live video on up to five different platforms, where as Meerkat broadcasts to Twitter and a web client, which in my opinion isn’t the best experience because it singles out anyone who isn’t on Twitter. Nonetheless, Hang w/ is a great alternative to Meerkat because it’s more complex and comprehensive, offering some of the other tools that are necessary for live broadcasting.
Features For Days….
hang-w-gopro Meerkat has a lot to learn from Hang w/, the godfather of the live-streaming app worldLet’s take a look at some of the features Hang w/ has to offer:
•Discovery platform
•Stream directly onto 5 different platforms
•Streams can be saved and archived on your smartphone
•The ability to share streams privately/publicly
•Upload stream to YouTube (coming soon)
•Monetization options for users
•Web widgets
•Live-stream directly from your GoPro
When it comes to comparing Hang w/ features to Meerkat, it’s not even on the same playing field. “We’re a teenager at this stage, but we’ve been through some hard discovery positions” Andrew Maltin, Hang w/ CEO tells KnowTechie in a phone interview.
“They have a few of the features we’ve been offering for years. Obviously we’ve been in this in this live space for a few years now, and certainly understand it. Obviously this Meerkat coming to the forefront has been great for the live industry in general, because it kind of opened up peoples eyes. This is a possibility we’ve been spending quite a bit of time in marketing and educating people that live broadcasting is the future. So we’re definitely excited to see what’s happening in the industry, but what we offer is a much more complex and comprehensive offering.”
Meerkat has a lot to learn from Hang w/, the godfather of the live-streaming app worldOne of the best features Hang w/ has to offer is that all streams are saved. I can’t begin to tell you how annoying it is to find someone posting a link to their Meerkat stream, only to find that the stream is over. It’s like the feeling of being invited to a party, but not getting the last minute cancellation notice. There’s nothing more embarrassing than showing up to a party that’s not happening.
With Hang w/, all streams are saved. This way, if users want to share their live streams with people then great. If they don’t, they can just hide and use it for later on their smartphone.
One of my other favorite features is their discovery platform. They curate some great content, so people have an experience even when no one is broadcasting. “That’s always one of the challenges. If the person you like is not broadcasting live, you need the ability to go watch some content and do things. So we built all of those things, and I think you’re going to see as companies like Meerkat and Periscope grow up, they’re going to need these types of services to keep people happy and continuously coming back for unique content” Maltin adds.

Hang w/ Introduces Filters to Enable Personalization of Live Video
Five New Kinds of Filters Now Let Users of the Social Live-Streaming App Personalize Their Content
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., March 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hang w/, the live-streaming app, launches a new version that includes filters for live video broadcasts. Filters are a fun way for users to express their creativity and customize content. Photo sharing platforms are packed with filters, and now, Hang w/ users will also be able to add a touch of personality to the live-videos they stream for viewers on the app.
Grammy Award Winning Producer, Music Producer of Fox's hit show Empire, and investor in the Hang w/ platform -- Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley was one of the first to preview the filter feature before it was released to the market. "Hang w/ is pushing the idea of live sharing into the future," said Mosley. "As artists and creators are drawn to the platform, these filters give them a new way to express their creativity live."
The platform's new version offers five different filters for users to choose from. Users can adjust filters before or during a broadcast by simply selecting the filter tab and flipping through the various options to preview how their video will be seen by others. In addition to being able to add filters to live-videos, users are now able to save their videos once the live-broadcast has ended with the "Save to Phone" feature.
The filters include:
• Hang w/ blue
• Sepia
• Colorburst
• 8-bit
• Blob
Andrew Maltin, CEO of Hang w/, said: "Filters have become an inseparable part of social media photo sharing, and it is only natural that users would want to do the same with video. We've also released the Save-to-Phone feature because we believe Hang w/ is becoming a creative medium and our users will want to save the content they create. By saving broadcasts directly to the phone, they'll have high quality footage that they can view later, share on YouTube, or cut together for other uses."
The Hang w/ platform allows users to "hang with" each other via live-streaming video and simultaneous chat. Users can follow people they are interested in, and the app notifies them when that person starts a live broadcast so they can "Tune-In" immediately. Ads that appear on the screen during the broadcast earn the user a share of the app's revenue (the amount is determined by the number of users who have been exposed to the ads).
Hangwith Update:
Today, is an exciting day for Hang w/ Over the last 6-9 months, we have been developing a completely new back-end system - code named “Tequila.”
Tequila will dramatically enhance the user experience with better speed, reliability and quality of performance. It will also make it simpler for us to release new features in the future. We are very excited.
Tonight we are officially moving to this powerful new system.
Hang w/ will go offline until approximately 1:30 am PST. When the switch is complete, there will be a new version available for download via the Apple App Store & Google Play.
We apologize in advance for the Hang w/ithdrawals that some of you may experience.Â
However, we are excited to report that when we come back on line, you'll notice a difference in how the app performs and responds.Â
Please note that with any major change in technology, sometimes irregularities occur. If you have any problems whatsoever during this new release, please email us at feedback@hangwith.com to let us know.
This is very exciting for us all. We are looking forward to Hanging w/ you on our newer, faster, better performing system shortly!
Cheers,
The team at Hang w/!

Hang W/ Announces Live Video Streaming From GoPro Cameras
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Dec. 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hang w/ announced today an update for Hang w/ iOS that enables live video streaming from a GoPro camera.
GoPro's extensive product line of cameras and mounting systems make it "easier than ever to capture and share your world like never before." Through the Hang w/ app, users can stream video captured on a GoPro camera, live as it's happening to other users of the app, to Facebook, to Twitter and to the Web.
"Our users have been asking repeatedly for a GoPro feature, and we are thrilled to deliver," said Andrew Maltin, CEO of Hang w/. "The opportunities to stream hands-free from a GoPro camera are endless; athletes broadcasting live from the field, travelers sharing moments around the world, chefs in the kitchen, motorcyclists, divers, the list goes on and on."
Hang w/ allows the broadcaster to choose between public or private broadcasts, meaning that GoPro streaming events can be shared with the world, or with a private audience. The GoPro feature captures video directly from the camera, while streaming audio from the broadcasting iPhone or iPad.
When the GoPro camera is combined with a flying drone, Hang w/ enables the user to share live aerial footage via the app and out to their social media. It also allows the broadcaster to narrate and chat with the viewers from the phone, rather than from the camera.
"We've been using the GoPro HERO4 and the DJI Phantom 2 drone in combination, streaming live video from high overhead." said Maltin. "This is a game changer for anyone looking to share sporting events, music concerts, backyard barbecues and anywhere else that a live aerial view can help share a moment and bring people together."
Also available in this release, the new iOS version will include:
- Native support for iOS 8; - Tap-to-zoom for profile images; - Various minor feature enhancements, bug fixes and graphical tweaks.
The Hang w/ GoPro update has been submitted to Apple and is expected to be released for download this week. Users who want to view live Hang w/ GoPro and DJI Phantom 2 drone footage can download the app at www.hangwith.me and follow the "hangwith" account.
You may be able to buy a few cheap shares as this stock is being manipulated. I also sold about 40K in the mid 20's and put in a bid at .171 to buy them back again.
Well I got some back at .1666 and lower despite my higher bid. I also replaced the 40K I sold, so I flipped for 10% free shares. LOL
This app is much too good and exciting to have the stock trade at these cheap levels. It should be approaching new highs, but someone keeps knocking the ask down in low volume increments.
If anyone has downloaded the new text version, you will know you have a serious winner here.
Only a matter of time before people realize that MEDL owns 77% of Hang w/.
People will know it when the symbol changes to HANG or something similar after the sale of MEDL is completed.
Should be a good short squeeze coming, IMO.
Nice buying action today. Perhaps this is the start of a nice northward journey.
This is a major step forward for MEDL in creating revenue. Lets hope that they will deliver exactly what they in November.
Somebody needs lunch money. LOL

Increases Revenue - Reduces Operating Cost
Conference Call on Tuesday, August 12, 2014
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 11, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MEDL Mobile Holding Inc., (OTCBB:MEDL), a leading developer of mobile applications for the Apple iOS And Google Android platform and the developer of the Hang w/ mobile live video broadcasting application, today issued its financial report for the Second Fiscal Quarter 2014, ending June 30, 2014.
Andrew Maltin, CEO of MEDL Mobile Holdings, Inc. states: "We are happy to report that revenue and other crucial financial performance milestones for the second quarter 2014 have improved significantly, compared to the same period in 2013. Also, financial performance in Q2 2014 has also improved on a six months comparison with the same period in the year before.
"We have expanded our mobile app development, accelerated the development of our Hang w/ application and platform and launched a major new version 3.0 of Hang w/. While we have been able to expand our efforts in most areas of development, marketing and sales, we still were successful in reducing SG&A and other expenses and significantly improved Gross Margins."
"During the last year we have developed leading edge native mobile advertising technology for Hang w/, in conjunction with the Hang w/ 3.0 software update. We have now begun the crucial process of implementing this custom tailored technology into Hang w/. This will allow us to utilize our large and consistently growing user base for the generation of mobile ad revenues, one of the several future revenue sources for our Hang w/ app," continues Andrew Maltin.
"Our entire MEDL team is committed to making the remainder of 2014 the beginning of an exceptional growth phase for the Company, with a focus on expanding the application of the Hang w/ technology platform to new revenue generating sectors. Based on our technical and marketing advances we are confident that we can continue to aggressively expand our user base.
"This, and the fact that U.S. social media advertising revenue is expected to exceed $11 billion in 2017, almost double last year's total of $6.1 billion, supports our expectation that we will be able to improve our financial performance significantly in the quarters and years ahead."
REVENUES
Net revenues increased to $589,102 for the three months ending June 30, 2014, compared to $409,955 for the three months ending June 30, 2013, an increase of $179,147 or 44%. This increase is attributable to the increased production activity in MEDL Mobile, the mobile app development department of MEDL. At the same time, the Company has accelerated the development of the Hang w/ mobile app, has released a major new version 3.0 and is beginning to implement innovative and custom tailored mobile advertising technology into Hang w/ that is expected to drive increasing and continued revenue growth.
GROSS PROFIT
MEDL's gross profit increased to $240,953 in Q2 2014, compared to a gross profit of $64,827 for Q2 2013, an increase of $176,126 or 272%. At the same time, management has been able to increase productivity and revenue.
OPERATING EXPENSES --SG&A
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were reduced to $899,678 in the 2(nd) Quarter 2014 compared to $1,015,746 in the same period during 2013, a decrease of $116.068, or 11%. The decrease in cost is attributable to management's stringent cost control efforts throughout the entire Company. Management intends to keep cost low, so that increasing production volume and revenue will result in improving profit margins and eventually net profits.
NET PROFIT/LOSS
Net Loss was reduced to $487,272, an improvement of $347,842 or 42%. This is a result of management's stringent cost control efforts and maintaining low levels of cost of goods, while at the same time increasing productivity and revenue.

LOL,
Jersey, you are a really fun and upbeat guy. I always enjoy reading your posts, you always put a smile on my face.
If capital gains apply to cars, then can I claim a loss every time I sell a car at a loss?
What you say doesn't make sense to me. People buying a new car take huge losses that are not tax deductible.
All new cars depreciate.
Old classics are appreciating every year. They are now considered investment material.
The inventory of vintage European sports cars in America is shrinking as foreign buyers pay top dollar and remove them from our shores.
Just look at the Porsche Speedster. It was the cheapest car to buy of the Porsche line in 1955 for a few thousand dollars. Now they are the most expensive and routinely sell now for more than 400 thousand dollars. Last year I saw a pile of rusted metal with a good VIN# sell for $56,000.00
Someone needs to be a hero and step up here. Start buying these cars up and keep them here in America.
I am still here with all my shares. I bought more to average down in the low teens. Hopefully this proves out to be a good choice.

Thanks Brandon,
I had never heard of him before. But this explains the 20% correction on the 98% run up from yesterday:
Sykes sold or shorted this morning:
To the idiots complaing about my $MEDL sell, when have I EVER held a stock where I'm up 50% & not taken profits?
I guess that means you sold your shares Sone.
Shorts and day traders are in charge for the moment.
A correction after a 90% one day gain is to be expected. I am holding all my shares. Too much good news from here on, IMO.
Who is Sykes?
It's all good, whether anybody notices that MEDL mobile is now profitable or they have struck a deal with Facebook.
The letter is written to shareholders, so it is not likely that non shareholders will take the time to read through it all.
Future press releases will be forthcoming. I am glad I have held and added on the last drop in share price. In fact I plan to buy more!
Thank you wolf for posting the shareholder newsletter link. A lot of good things in the works for sure! 5 pages of text would be too much to cut and paste.
Yeah, it is the Lehman lawyers that want to give all of us a haircut. Lets hope they do not shave us completely bald.
I am adding more here myself.
Anna running across America could get lots of media coverage

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., March 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hang w/, the live-streaming social media mobile app, today announced that Lucy Hale will use the Hang w/ application tomorrow night to share an exclusive behind the scenes peek from the cast's live table read in advance of the season finale of Pretty Little Liars. The Hang w/ application allows Lucy to give her fans exclusive live access to this special event that has been reserved only for industry insiders and those close to the show.
The Hang w/ platform allows users to "hang with" celebrities and each other via live-streaming video and simultaneous chat on a mobile device. User's real-time broadcasts can be shared with thousands and potentially millions of followers at once.
Top teen drama Pretty Little Liars is a mystery thriller that follows the lives of a clique of four girls whose lives are thrown into turmoil by a mysterious unseen character known only as "A." Now in its fifth season, the show has built to an exciting season finale. Aria Montgomery, played by Lucy Hale, is a featured member of the foursome.
Since the series premiere, the show has remained popular, with its highest rated episode attracting 4.22 million viewers. Lucy Hale has won consecutive Teen Choice Awards from 2010 to 2013 and a People's Choice Award for her role on the series.
During the exclusive Hang w/ broadcast, Hale will participate in a table read, where actors prepare for an upcoming taping by reviewing a script together.
"Hanging with my fans has been a blast. When I've got my phone with me, I've got my fans with me," said Lucy Hale. "I've brought them to rehearsals, radio show appearances and places they'd never normally get to see. Now I'll be able to share an amazing look behind the scenes from a table read with my Pretty Little Liars co-stars."
"Lucy brings an exciting new group of users to the Hang w/ platform," said Hang With, Inc. co-founder and CEO Andrew Maltin. "And the fact that ABC Family and ABC's top-rated morning show are allowing Hang w/ fans such exclusive access demonstrates that major networks and entertainment properties are ready to embrace this as the future of social media engagement."
Fans interested in watching the live table read need to download the app at www.hangwith.me/lucyhale and follow Lucy Hale. Only those users following her will receive a notification directly to their phone the moment Lucy starts streaming live.

Hang w/ Reveals Unprecedented Fan Engagement Metrics
Thursday 27 February 2014
Hang w/, the celebrity-driven live-streaming video mobile app, today released statistics showing that the Hang w/ platform engages fans five to 250 times more than leading social media platforms. The metrics compared the percentage of Hang w/ celebrity followers who "Tune In" to a celebrity's broadcast versus the percentage of followers of the same celebrities who "like," "favorite," "retweet," "comment," and "share" on the major social media platforms.
Hang w/ user analytics reveal that fans on Hang w/ are more likely to Tune In to a celebrity's three- to nine-minute live broadcast than fans are to engage in the following social media activities:
Hang w/ Tune In versus Facebook like: 5:1
Hang w/ Tune In versus Instagram comment: 19:1
Hang w/ Tune In versus Twitter favorite: 153:1
Hang w/ Tune In versus Twitter retweet: 195:1
Hang w/ Tune In versus Facebook share: 250:1
The Hang w/ platform, which allows users to "hang with" celebrities and each other via live-streaming video and simultaneous chat, was created in part to help celebrities and users with large followings to build authentic and interactive social media relationships. The platform allows users to follow people who interest them and notifies users when that person broadcasts live.
"Hang w/ is proving to be a powerful platform for fan engagement," said Hang With, Inc. co-founder and CEO Andrew Maltin. "We've always believed live broadcasts are far more exciting to a fan than reading 140 characters, viewing an image or even watching a video. And now the analytics show it to be overwhelmingly true."
The topic of fan engagement has become a focus of Hollywood executives and companies like Facebook and Twitter who are seeking more meaningful engagement between celebrities and fans - and are not simply counting the total numbers of followers.
The Hang w/ platform has attracted more than 100 actors, athletes, musicians and entertainers including 50 Cent, Ali Landry, Cheech and Chong, Claudia Jordan, Jamie Kennedy, Kaskade, Larry the Cable Guy, Lucy Hale, Terrell Owens and Timbaland.
