May 9th has come and past and we are happy to be live and showing our site to the world. We had a positive experience with our launch party, and a warm reception from everyone. Going forward we would like to know what you the viewer wants to see, what kind of content are you looking for? What type of new features would you like to see? What can we change to make your viewing experience more pleasurable?
You can post your suggestions, criticism, or talk about the news on our message boards, once you've signed up and you're logged in, you'll have full access to post new messages, and reply to others.
We're also working on acquiring new content from TV broadcasters in Eastern Europe, and should have some new stations available as early as next Monday. It really is quite interesting as a Canadian to be watching the news from a foreign station, I get to watch stories I've never heard about, or that don't get covered in western media.
Going forward we will have many more cool features added, so please, don't be shy, and let us know what you would like to see.
With the launch date a little more than a week away, I can’t say I’m not excited to get the website out the door and live on the internet. Months of hard work will finally pay off, by sharing news from around the world, with everyone and anyone who have an internet connection. We’ve overcome quite a few technological barriers along the way, with many lessons learned. Our initial questions were how would we get content from a location with an internet infrastructure not quite as technologically advanced and far more expensive, than that of North America? With several dead ends we finally found a solution that met the needs of everyone. Now we are able to bring you news from around the world, no matter where the location.
We’re currently starting with foreign content in regions such as Armenia, Republic of Georgia and Azerbaijan which we translate to English and provide subtitles for everyone to view and enjoy. We also have translated content coming in from DHA in Turkey, as well as Reuters and the Associated Press.
Our mission is to add more user friendly features, and more broadcasters from around the world, we look forward to receiving feedback on our message boards about what you want to see, who we should sign up next, and what we can do to make your news viewing more pleasurable.
