BlogTV Launches New Web Video Season
Enhancing the experience of the live blogTV platform is now available with a set of new features and improvements. BlogTV’s new personal profile pages enable users to style their own backgrounds, add photos, customize their own show banner and embed widgets. This means that our growing community of musicians, for example, can package up their live performances, recorded shows, personal style and display and sell their own music via mp3 widgets, all in one place.
Among the new web-celebrity personas you will be able to see the famous iJUSTINE. Justine “iJustine” Ezarik made global headlines last summer when she received a 100-page phone bill as a result of using her iPhone to send more than 30,000 text messages. Ezarik’s video of the event was seen by millions online and on television, leading to a change in the way iPhone customers are billed. An additional talent in the new season is Christine Gambito (aka HappySlip). HappySlip is one of the Web’s biggest and brightest stars. She currently ranks as Youtube’s #5 Most Subscribed to Artist of All-Time. In peak months, Christine’s website HappySlip.com has attracted 306,600 unique visits with 758,908 page views.
