Add as a preferred source on Google

Got a great video clip you’ve just captured and you just have to broadcast it now? You might want to check out kyte.tv. The company reported today that its new offering will enable consumers to create their own interactive TV channels and make them accessible by mobile, PC, and eventually on television.

Users can take a picture or video with a camera phone and broadcast it to their kyte channel, or even create a show by using drag and drop tools—like incorporating polls, text, slideshows, and text—online.  Once live, you can chat with your audience, interact through polls, or invite your friends to co-produce on your channel, the company says.
