Video blogging platform for World Cup fans

Users of TEAMtalk will have access to the video blogging application called coullvlogger. The application, which will be known as "TEAMtalk Vlogger" will allow users to put together text, stills and video from camcorders, mobile phones and other devices without the technical know-how usually required. TEAMtalk is hoping this will encourage such things as return visits during the World Cup and will allow them to build up a catalogue of user generated content.
