The social networking site Bebo has announced today that it will launch an "Open Media" platform on its site to host audio and video for its community. They say that this platform is a way for media brands to build a presence within the community through the use of audio and video.
Mixing the features similar to MySpaceTV and Facebook's Pages feature, Bebo's Open Media platform can be joined without licensing agreements and charge no fees to the content providers. They state that the content will be strictly Limited to just music and video. The site claims that they this system will offer its community "thousands of hours of premium entertainment content from major global entertainment brands and emerging media companies."
With this platform, members will be able to create their own media profiles and store their favorite songs and videos there, while media companies will receive an option to create Channel profiles so their content can be easily found within the community.
