ATOM ENTERTAINMENT, INC. ADDS USER-GENERATED CONTENT TO ADDICTINGCLIPS SITE, ENABLING USERS TO UPLOAD AND SHARE VIDEO, ANIMATION, AND GAMES.
One of the Web's Most Popular Online Video Destinations Becomes First Major Site to Enable Wireless Uploads of Mobile Phone Video
SAN FRANCISCO, CAMarch 30th, 2006Atom Entertainment, Inc., the broadband entertainment pioneer, announced today the launch of powerful new features on its AddictingClips site enabling consumers to upload and share video, animation, and Flash games online. The site also now accepts video that is uploaded directly from a mobile phone, a first for a major entertainment destination.
"Consumers want the power to personalize and share their entertainment," said Mika Salmi, CEO of Atom Entertainment. "AddictingClips offers more types of content and more ways to share it than any other site in the industry."
Established just three months ago as a directory of entertaining web video, the AddictingClips site has already attracted millions of users. The new version of the site continues to promote great content from other sites, while adding features and incentives for users to upload their own content. As an extension of the Atom Entertainment tradition of discovering and rewarding the best entertainment talent, the AddictingClips site is offering a Cash for Clips program, in which creators of the best AddictingClips content will receive cash prizes and further distribution through Atom Entertainment's AtomFilms site.
New features on AddictingClips:
Other sites that feature user-generated content generally require content creators to upload to a PC before transferring content via a web connection to the Web. Now users who have one of the many cell phones equipped with a video camera have the option to simply send that content via e-mail to the AddictingClips site, where it is immediately published online.
In addition to the mobile phone video upload capabilities, the AddictingClips site is rolling out several other new features that will make it easier for users to upload, organize and share their content.
Additional features of the AddictingClips site include:
Atom Entertainment selected Reality Digital as the technology provider for the AddictingClips site. The Reality Digital Opus platform powers the user generated content functionality on the AddictingClips site.
