Press Release Body = ASPEN CO - August 1, 2007 -- At the 16th Annual Aspen Institute Roundtable on Information Technology, Arturo Artom, CEO of Your Truman Show, Inc., announced the public beta of the company's online broadcast network (http://beta.yourtrumanshow.com). Artom was invited to discuss the future of online video along with Chad Hurley, co-founder of Youtube.
Artom, one of Europe's most successful serial tech entrepreneurs, founded San Francisco-based Your Truman Show in October 2006 to create the first platform that allows people to watch, rate and review the comedy and drama of life.
Until now, the site was in private beta, accessible only through limited invitation. The online community combines on one platform the power of personal blogging, user-generated video and social networking.
YourTrumanShow.com empowers real people to tell their stories to the world extending the fiction of life-on-camera into a new and fun network of tomorrow\'s online reality stars. It gives them a publishing platform and a broadcast channel to migrate from generating single videos to developing an ongoing multi-episode series that expresses their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
The platform offers a unique rating mechanism that reflects the various channels of life. By submitting their ratings, viewers vote for the best content in each category, collectively choosing the most compelling stories to be highlighted. In doing so, viewers determine which producers get featured on traditional and online media networks.
With its patent-pending V-link interface for visually connecting related storylines, YourTrumanShow.com offers a revolutionary graphic interface for video surfing, changing the user experience for finding, connecting and following favorite stories as they develop over time.
\"Your Truman Show is a place for real people to share their real stories, through their own video series,\" said Arturo Artom, Your Truman Show\'s President and CEO. \"We provide a unique combination of features that allows everybody to tell their story to the world, create a fan base, and become an online reality video star."
