Big Upz Opens Internet Video to the Caribbean Community

Big Upz | 30 Jun 2007

Big Upz, a consumer media and entertainment company for Caribbean Americans and consumers of Caribbean culture on a global basis, has launched its new service that allows people to watch, upload and share personal video clips at www.BigUpz.com and across the Internet. As more people capture videos through digital cameras, mobile phones and other devices, Big Upz makes it fast, fun and easy to broadcast those experiences worldwide.

Along with connecting users with videos from friends and family, Big Upz is delivering entertaining, authentic and informative videos across the Internet. Users are documenting news events as they happen, filming quirky videos about their interests and sharing first hand accounts of their travels.

Upload Your Coolest Clips

Through its advanced technology infrastructure, Big Upz instantly converts uploaded videos into a format viewable across the Internet without additional software uploads.

Registered users simply upload a video from their computers, and Big Upz handles the conversions behind the scenes. Videos are tuned into a Flash video, making them viewable through every major Web browser, including Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Flash is available to 97 percent of Internet users.

Share Your Video Experiences Everywhere

Once uploaded, users can make videos public or share them only with specified users such as friends and family.

Video sharing on Big Upz is not limited to www.BigUpz.com. Through its video embedding feature, Big Upz allows users to stream videos, both personal and public ones, across the Internet on other Web sites. For example, users can insert their favorite Big Upz video into their Myspace profiles, blogs or personal Web pages. Even as viewers watch videos across the Web, they can immediately share a video through e-mail from within the video player itself.

Using a subscription feature, registered users can subscribe to one another’s videos, creating personal broadcast networks where users stay updated on the latest from their favorite video creators.

Watch Your Favorite Videos

Anyone can watch the public videos on Big Upz. They can search for videos by entering common search terms, or they can browse through videos based on channels of interest, popularity, user rankings, most recently viewed videos and featured videos selected by community recommendations.

Users also can register for a Big Upz account and create a personnel network of videos. Once completing a simple registration process, they are able to save their favorite videos from Big Upz, create play lists of videos and connect with other users and friends and family to watch personal videos.

“The explosion in consumer devices with video and in broadband connections is giving users control over the videos they watch and share, and Big Upz is dedicated to making their experience as easy and relevant as possible” said Ken Watson CEO of Big Upz.
