RE: RE: FYI...
Toronto-based Ortsbo, which is a subsidiary of technology incubator Intertainment Media, offers similar language translation technologies currently used by MSN, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Yahoo and has served “over 212 million unique users in over 170 countries and territories.” With each interaction, its language solutions improve incrementally.
Currently, Ortsbo is offering Fan Talk to artists on a free-of-charge, invitation-only basis, monetizing only on a share of ticket and merchandise sales. In the future, the company will likely offer a self-serve, SaaS based model to a wider range of musical acts and other entertainers.
