CNN’s iReport
Thursday, February 14, 2008 22:48
Few days ago I wrote an article regarding the iReport.com domain that was sold to CNN for $750,000 (from the Domain King).
Today the beta edition of iReport opened its gates and CNN paved the way to the future. Below is a copy from the site’s welcome:
Welcome to a brand new beta site for unfiltered, uncensored user-powered news. CNN is providing the tools. You take it from there! Report, upload and comment on the stories you find most interesting and important. The views, coverage and content on the site are all yours - not CNN’s! So, go ahead, have at it!
I do not have to stress how important this is especially when it is backed up by the biggest news network in the world. Many of the videos that users upload to the site will be used by CNN (free material). For more see iReport.com
Till now I have not managed to play any videos, maybe its because its still in beta version. Also what is noticeable is that the embed option is missing, and hopefully not intentionally.
