Alexandria, VA – The Media Research Center
[MRC] has launched a groundbreaking, interactive news and
entertainment platform designed to transform the world of online
video-sharing and networking – without the censorship or political
agenda of YouTube.
Eyeblast (www.Eyeblast.tv) is
aimed at the next generation of conservatives and at conservative
organizations. It combines the video-sharing qualities of YouTube
with the social-networking capability of Facebook to pull the
digital, interactive components into one space. People can create,
share and view videos, audio and other content on topics that are
important to them, ranging from current events and politics to
entertainment. Unlike any other online platform, Eyeblast
simultaneously allows users to upload their own content, connect
with friends, classmates and colleagues, and make new acquaintances.
Eyeblast is more than a one-stop shop for the online community; its
Web 2.0 functionality provides the most comprehensive digital portal
to date and allows users to:
• View and search videos, including those embedded from YouTube and
other video-sharing sites;
• Embed videos in their blogs and Web sites;
• Upload their own videos;
• Get individual or organizational channels to promote their
videos;
• Rate and store favorite videos, and "blast" them to their
friends;
• Create profiles and groups;
• Invite friends to join groups;
• And send and read e-mails.
MRC President Brent Bozell sees Eyeblast as a
gateway to a more educated and informed society, especially the
Internet generation.
“Eyeblast is a leapfrog in technology for the conservative
movement,” stated Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research
Center. “We have harnessed the capabilities of various online
networks into one place that is free of censorship. Google, YouTube
and the liberal media have squashed certain information due to its
conservative bent. Eyeblast does not discriminate based upon
political view. It is an online location where all sides are welcome
to share. We especially hope to capture the attention of
conservative college students and those under 30 who are longing for
a place to connect with other conservatives.”
Eyeblast is brought to you by the Media Research Center, a 501(c) 3
nonprofit research and education organization. Visit Eyeblast online
