CamboTube: a flexible video sharing platform for Cambodia

Jason Rosette — Mon, 26 May 2008 11:01:00 -0500

Hello-- We recently launched our online video sharing platform, CAMBOTUBE (www.cambotube.com) which the Cambodia Daily heralded as an "important tool for democracy."

We have exited Beta testing and the platform is fully functional and robust and interest (as seen from the number of hits on our analytics) is growing on a daily basis.

We envision growing CamboTube, with the assistance if interested partners, into a dedicated social issue media delivery platform here in Cambodia and the region. We foresee great flexibility via Cambotube, with potential uses including: 1) as alternative broadcast system for populations without access to terrestrial broadcast systems 2) as a way of distributing targeted health media content efficiently and digitally 3) to promote governance and via appropriately targeted content and dialogue with concerned users. Please contact us directly via email at camerado@camerado.com, or at 855 012 194 2702 in Cambodia for more information or to discuss further. Sincerely, JR CAMBOTUBE www.camotube.com
