YOBI.tv Opens a New World of Online Entertainment
(CSRwire) DETROIT, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- "Combine two of the most popular things
out there today - YouTube with reality TV - and you have a new Web site,
www.YOBI.tv. This site
offers cash prizes for posting videos showcasing the creator's talents and
expertise to the world. The site combines user-generated videos and reality
television in a contest forum. People don't have to wait for the
opportunity to get others to see their talents but instead can use this
site to expose and display their work." - Greg Ellman, Star- Telegram
YOBI.tv is a new world of digital entertainment, is free, and has contest
channels for Vocal Talent, Film Making, Comedy, Photography, Fashion
Design, and Innovation. Members can create niche profiles for socializing
or to show off their talents. There is no shortage of people waiting for
their "15 minutes of fame" and YOBI.tv gives anyone the power to create
that opportunity.
YOBI.tv is not just about contests. This is a social network with a social
conscience. YOBI gives a percent of revenue to charities and offers a free
channel for humanitarian efforts. YOBI World, featured by Yoko Ono (a
YOBI.tv Member) on Imagine Peace, is a global gathering place for the
world to discuss, in United Nations style forum, the challenges that face
our planet and for humanitarians to meet and to create free profiles.
"Inspired by John Lennon and Bono who have been major influences in
creating a better world, this is my favorite part of YOBI.tv and the
reason that this all began," states Dianne Victor, founder and CEO.
YOBI is now receiving members and visitors from more than 80 countries
and worldwide attention from media, social network groups, schools and
universities. Most importantly, voting has now started. Members have 30
weekly chances to win the most member votes in order to advance to the
semi-finals to compete for the cash prizes. The minimum prize fund, per
each channel, is $10,000. The more participation, the higher the prize
funds grow and the sooner you enter the contest, the more chances you have
to win.
Based in Michigan, USA, Ms. Victor has high hopes that this new
intellectual property to the World Wide Web will expand the entertainment
industry in her home state, open endless opportunities for the contestants
and winners, and to create the power for the world to gather for positive
change.
