Reuters uses the Stream Crowdsourcer
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
Reuters used the ingest, moderation and transcoding capabilities of the Newsdesk Transcoder to power the Times Square billboard.
The entire system allowed users to send in photos directly from their phone, the best were selected by moderators and these were converted into an RSS feed which fed the sign directly. Users were given confirmation of their choice by SMS and the images on the sign were captured for use within the online galleries.
