Video debate site goes live

Added:
May 27, 2007

The video-sharing site lets users upload videos of themselves commenting on a specific issue, no matter how controversial. 

 

Friction.TV has achieved significant traffic figures through its public beta phase. The site has attracted more than 250,000 unique visitors and more than two million page impressions during the initial three month public testing period.

 

In addition, Friction.TV users are viewing an average of eight videos per session browsing videos and text content.

 

Andy West, Chief Marketing Officer, commented: “Our aim now is to encourage as many people as possible to have their say on issues they are passionate about. We firmly believe that our video debating format will prove extremely popular with students, adults and senior citizens alike, because ultimately everyone has an opinion and most of us want to share it.”

 

A number of public figures and organisations, including Boris Johnson, LBC radio presenter Nick Ferrari, Transform Drug Policy Foundation, Transport 2000 and CND UK are already featured on the site voicing their thoughts.

 

As the site is unedited, people can get their message across without the fear of being misquoted. Recently, UKIP MEP Gerard Batten used the site to challenge the ‘Strangers into Citizens’ campaign which seeks to legalise irregular immigrants already working in Britain.

 

With no editorial agenda, the site is largely uncensored and every viewpoint can be heard, no matter how strong or controversial.  The site is viewer moderated, so any inappropriate content that crosses the boundaries of decency or that contravenes any law can be removed.

Right to reply: The New Twitter – a sticky, revenue-rich service that blitzes the third-party apps
Twitter is now a 'destination website' and that means it is gunning for Facebook, but cleverly avoiding a direct dogfight. It’s more an information network than a social network and so is offering much, much more. Tanya Goodin, CEO of search and social conversion agency Tamar comments…
