This is kind of strange and interesting. From reader Steve Case (thank you, Steve) I learned about revGtv, a company that sells games and ringtones but also features videos from camera phones and camcorders (see below).
There's not a great deal of information about the company, but you might find the home page interesting to view. In its briefs FAQs section, the company says:
Q. Who is RevGTv for?
A. RevGTv is Mobile Reality TV. It's a mobile blog taken to the next level. Camera phones are sending pics and video to RevGtv from all over the world every second and millions are watching. Get creative and go live with your own show.
Q. How wild and crazy can I get on here?
A. As long as their is no nudity, abusive content -such as hate messages- or copyrighted material- such as commercial records or pics that are not yours - you can do whatever you want. Dress up like Shakespeare in scuba gear and recite lyrics from your national anthem, the zanier the better.
It's probably an inappropriate comparison but the revGtv's home page reminds me of something out of the late and, for me, lamented television series "Max Headroom."
Those brazilian carnival queens are awesome footage. I actually really like the way they come off on camera phone video. It's kind of it's own thing.
