Video blogging is simple - so should be your service

The idea of video blogging is simple: record a video and broadcast it through a blog. We have made mobile video blogging equally simple: video-call to a pre-defined number to display an IVR menu to push a button to start broadcasting. A simple IVR menu - which can be configured by an operator - allows the user to verify the recording before posting it.
