BBC News relies on the Crowdsourcer for UGC content

Monday, August 27th, 2007

The BBC News service is one of the most authoritative sources of content in the world.

The service has commisioned the Stream UK Crowdsourcer to provide a replacement service to its over-crowded email inboxes.

The product will not only replace email submissions of breaking content, but also add usability in the form of:

• transcoding and stardisation of all images and videos received
• an intuitive and fast evaluation system that quickly lets editors evaluate content
• integration with internal content management systems through email and web 2.0 technology.

Due to the nature of the service, the highest standards of reliability and redundancy are being applied.

The Stream Connect is an ideal tool for producing high-quality webcasts directly from the desktop.

Webcasts can include synchronised slides, chat, voting or email conferences and the tool will add additional functionality to telephone conferences too.

In the example shown below, just a simple webcam is being used to broadcast a corporate comment.
