With its new mobile app, Vevo is adding a local element as well. By taking advantage of users’ GPS-equipped smart phones, the app enables users to discover videos that are being watched nearby. And, of course, the app lets users share videos with friends via Facebook, Twitter and e-mail.
Along with the new app launch, Vevo is launching a new original web series called “Ask:Reply!” that features artists answering questions from fans.
