Make Your Fans Famous: Turn videos from your dedicated fans, loyal customers or field reporters into live TV instantly

The Burst mobile video platform is an easy & powerful way to create and solicit controlled and User-Generated content and instantly share it to any screen, website, social media, groups, or individuals.

The New York Times says: Television networks still depend on camera crews and sophisticated equipment, but they are increasingly seeking low-cost ways to record behind-the-scenes videos that can supplement their traditional broadcasts. With applications like Burst, reporters — and everyday viewers — can create videos with only their smartphones and an Internet connection.
