Vokle is an embeddable Internet microsite application that allows speakers to broadcast their live video and audio to a virtual auditorium of viewers and take live video calls and text questions from the audience. It launched publicly on December 11, 2009. PC Magazine noted, "It seems designed for personal communications, adding voice to social networking." Vokle was part of "StartupCamp 2" in October 2010. In April 2010, Co-Founder Edward Dekeratry confirmed that Vokle had a seed round allowing us to pay the initial engineering, a small angel round of financing and would look to venture capital within year's time. In August 2010, Tech Coast Angels, Southern California's largest angel investment group, confirmed they had invested in Vokle. In August 2010 The Next Web noted that Facebook Live has "has features that look oddly similar to sites such as Vokle and Ustream." The site has been used by Grammy-winner recording artist Imogen Heap, political news site The Huffington Post and its founder Arianna Huffington, No Impact Man star Colin Beavan, productivity guru David Allen, rapper MF Grimm, and anime voice actor Crispin Freeman. Brad Johnston, Director of Music Technology and IB Music at the Yokohama International School noted Vokle as one of the emerging technologies to assist "music composition, publishing, producing artists, and now music education". Masternew Media noted Vokle, along with Stribe and SocialGo are "new social platforms bringing together the best forms of micro-publishing, social sharing and real-time/asynchronous collaboration and presentation (including the use of video)".
