Leading Citizen Video Journalism Site Offers Personalized News Coverage of the Best of Sports and Global Unity at the Vancouver Games.
New York, NY (1888PressRelease) February 15, 2010 - MaYoMo (Map Your Moments), a powerful new video-centric social network for citizen journalism and the most inspired alternative source for global multimedia news content, today announced the launch of the Olympics 2010 channel ─ a dedicated news channel offering attendees the opportunity to share their Olympic experiences with people around the world. The channel was created in advance of the winter games to provide an intimate glimpse into the life and culture of this major unifying international event, which runs February 12-28, 2010.
"During the awe-inspiring events taking place at the 2010 Olympics, you will see the changing effects social media and mobile citizen journalism is having on our global society," said Hristo Alexiev, cofounder of MaYoMo. "Citizen journalists are playing an increasingly vital role in news reporting from hot zones around the world like Iran, Copenhagen, Haiti, and more. The Olympic Channel was created to provide a platform for participants to capture this global event, share those moments, and engage people from around the world who long to participate in this historical moment."
The Olympic moments will be accessible on the dedicated Olympics channel starting February 15th, 2010 on www.MaYoMo.com. Members of MaYoMo attending the Olympic Games are encouraged to capture events taking place in and around the games. Opening and closing ceremonies, spectators' viewpoints, political views, and victory celebrations are just some of the events likely to be captured.
Access to content on the MaYoMo website is free. Anyone can quickly create an account and start contributing content and uploading photos, video, and other media assets - from a variety of devices, including video-enabled phones. The MaYoMo platform allows users to place their news reports not only in the real world, but in "Virtu" as well ─ a continent with virtual countries, such as Second Life, World of Warcraft, and dozens more.
MaYoMo has achieved unprecedented geographic coverage for its new online global news site. Since launching in late Q4 2008, members from 120 countries have posted more than 57,000 news articles. Follow MaYoMo on Twitter at http://twitter.com/MaYoMo, or on Facebook at http://facebook.com/mayomo.
