Flixwagon and MTV Think broadcasting live from the National Democratic Convention

MTV yesterday deployed a number of street reporters armed with Flixwagon-equipped mobile phones to cover the National Democratic Convention in Denver. A similar number of reporters will also be on the scene using Flixwagon at the upcoming Republican National Convention.

The street reporters are making live videos throughout the four days of the convention from their mobile phones directly to their pages on the MTV Think website, in another installment of MTV's Choose or Lose campaign. The street reporters can easily broadcast live video and capture the atmosphere of the conventions in real-time without the need for large camera crews or bulky equipment.

Live mobile-to-web broadcasting is changing how journalists’ research and report on events such as these conventions, delivering a real-time, interactive experience that can be delivered to a broad audience.

Some of the videos and street reporters can be found here:
