Link: Vodafone To Provide YouTube Service
Vodafone will soon make YouTube available to its mobile phone users in the UK. YouTube is a video sharing website which lets users upload, view, and share video clips.
Users of the service will be able to view a selection of videos from a list that is updated daily and upload their own videos directly from their mobile phone. They will also be able to forward links to their favourite clips to friends.
Earlier this week Vodafone announced that it was making social networking site MySpace and eBay, the online auction site, available on Vodafone mobiles. The company also recently unveiled a virtual island in Second Life, an online virtual world developed by Linden Labs.
The new mobile Web 2.0 services are part of the company’s strategy to add brands that it believes will be attractive to customers and to more closely engage customers and encourage feedback on its services.
Customers will be able to access YouTube via the Vodafone Live! Web portal, which is currently available on 4.7 million handsets in the UK.
Pricing details have not yet been announced.
