SAN FRANCISCO—Wireless video company Veeker is encouraging young users to record and submit content with their phones during tomorrow’s elections.
The firm is teaming with YouthNoise.com, a nonpartisan Web site, to allow users to share wireless video clips recorded on mobile phones at poling stations, political rallies, protests and Election Day parties. The content will appear on YouthNoise.com and other sites within seconds.
“America’s youth, like most everyone else in the country, feel passionately about this upcoming election,” said Ginger Thomson, YouthNoise’s chief executive officer. “They sense it is an important moment. We are looking for them to shoot and send ‘Veeks’ that will stir the raw emotions of other socially conscious young Americans, inspiring them to become part of the country’s political dialogue.”
