YouTube cofounder Steve Chen has unveiled Nom, a live video streaming platform with the support of Gangnam Style’s PSY and Oscar-winning actor Jared Leto.
Nom.com will be focusing on the food industry and will be a platform where foodies can create their own live streaming channels.
Nom is a place for food lovers, If you’ve ever snapped a picture of your dinner, Nom is for you. If you have a food blog and want to connect with a bigger audience, Nom is for you. If a restaurant kitchen is your office, Nom is for you, said Chen.
Viewers can learn from their favorite chefs or bloggers, and interact directly with them as they stream live from either a desktop or mobile device. Nom will also offer viewers options to share GIFs, videos, and photos with hosts.
Chefs and personalities launching channels on Nom include 3-star Michelin chef Corey Lee and Master Sommelier Yoon Ha of Benu in San Francisco, Pastry Chef Joanne Chang, Tim Hollingsworth of Otium in downtown Los Angeles, Hubert Keller in Las Vegas, and Michael Tusk of Quince in San Francisco.
Nom is now available to download on iOS.
