Telegraph.co.uk to do live video streaming of Blair at Chilcot Inquiry
Telegraph.co.uk will be streaming video content live* from the Chilcot Inquiry as Tony Blair gives evidence tomorrow, Friday January 29, 2010. Telegraph Media Group (TMG) has also introduced a new, innovative feature to allow visitors to the website to vote on whether they think Mr. Blair is telling the truth during his evidence.
This ‘lie detector’ voting system, designed by Quick.tv, will give a real-time, on-screen poll of the public’s view as Mr. Blair addresses the Chilcot Inquiry.
This new tool is brought to Telegraph.co.uk viewers by a unique collaboration of TMG partners. The live stream is provided by ITN, the video player is provided by Ooyala, and the on screen live voting interactivity comes from Quick.tv.
Guy Ruddle, Head of Visuals, TMG, said:
“Telegraph.co.uk is uniquely placed to bring this new interactive video service to our audience. We are delighted to be able to provide this with the help of other organisations, including Quick.tv who has facilitated the online voting element. Telegraph.co.uk continues to give our readers content as and when they need it, in ground breaking and innovative ways and across a variety of channels.”
