BBC Trials Video Messaging for Football

London-based video messaging solution provider VoxSurf said that the BBC has deployed its technology to power a new trial called Your Shout!. The trial allows football fans to send in 3G video messages with their opinions on the crucial England internationals and during Football Focus broadcasts. [via B160characters.org]

Currently only available on 3 and Vodafone, by making a video call to shortcode 62001 and following the on-screen instructions, football fans can leave their comments. Programme editors will be able to select the best content to be broadcast on live TV both during and after the matches, which are being covered live on Match of the Day. The best videos will also be shown on the BBC Sport website, Football Focus.
