MTV is breaking some important ground by empowering individuals to create personalized video blogs within the MTV Network. It’s called "The Pod, Broadcast Yourself."
The video upload is processed through VideoEgg and the content management system used by MTV is from iUpload, an 8-year old content management systems business in Toronto.
We spoke with iUpload CEO Robin Hopper at the Beet.TV studios. We think that it is very cool that software applications can be used to grow and manage networks of individuals, large and small. I mean, it’s great to vlog, but how cool is it to empower others to create vlog networks with you?
Another great technology platform for creating personalized blog networks is called "GoingOn" which was recently launched as part of the new AlwaysOn Network.
