Brainstorming Topic #3: The new Splashcast - forget Teacher Tube

Date: Posted by Carole, July 17, 2008

Splashcast

Splashcasting represents the next generation in online marketing. Brands and media companies use splashcasts to reach the growing demographic of teenagers and young adults in social networking sites, like MySpace and Facebook.
A splashcast is like a branded, virtual TV that can be shared among friends and embedded on any web page. Brands and media companies easily broadcast any desired digital content - from videos and pictures, to music and interactive games - directly to individual consumers that have the splashcast on their page.
