C-Span Launches User-Gen Video Site

14th Nov 2006, 06:43 GMT

(via TechCrunch) This is pretty interesting for what others may consider a rather staid site/company: C-Span has quietly launched a user-generated video sub-site, called Viewfinder, that will be incorporated into the cable channel’s programs...already the service has call-in and e-mail-in for its shows, and due to the nature of the topic (politics), usually has heavy usage. The video upload service allows anyone to upload videos of campaign activities and other political activities. Selected videos will be incorporated into C-SPAN’s on-air programming, including its live, daily morning viewer call-in program, Washington Journal. C-Span’s service is powered by Streamload, which provides consumers a way to store, share and receive large files over the Internet..the company issued a release and that’s how the story became public. Earlier this year, C-Span asked viral video sites iFilm and YouTube to pull a user-posted copyrighted material (the infamous Colbert speech at the at the White House Correspondents Dinner) from their sites and, instead, chose Google Video as an non-exclusive provider.
