No, we aren’t desperate.  But we may be a little sick.

It’s no secret that Justin Bieber is the talk of the town.  He’s got a global audience of fans that are nuts for him. He makes teenage girls faint with one flip of his bangs.  He’s got more twitter followers than Barack. And one lock of his hair goes for upwards of $40k.  Why so much love?  Because, this kid has humble roots, he’s got a set of pipes, and he does a stellar job at connecting with his fans. It’s no wonder why here at the Vokle office we’ve got a bad dose of…

Bieber fever.

So, in an effort to marry superstar singer with elegant live streaming platform, we’re introducing The Bieber Campaign.  The social media tidal wave created through ripples from none other than the fans of Justin.  So how do you join the movement? Join fans from around the world on Monday, August 15th and starting at 9AM PST, tweet at Justin Bieber asking him to host a LIVE Q/A on Vokle.  Throw a creative twist on your tweet, along with #biebervokle, and if the campaign is a success, we’ll ask several of you to work behind-the-scenes with the Biebs himself to produce the show!  With some luck and a few tweets we can bring JB to your computer screen. LIVE. Taking your text/video q’s.  :)

Let’s get the buzz going.  Right MEOW.

Howdy folks! In the last couple weeks, we’ve been hard at work on some fancy features which we can finally share with you guys. Here’s the scoop!:

1. Go Live Button

After hearing tons of feedback from our broadcasters for an ‘easy way to go live’, we’ve prioritized it high and just released it! Chances are you’ve noticed the new “Go Live” button on the top-right corner of your VOKLE webpage. Upon clicking, a pop-up will appear letting you create an event for a specific Lineup, or allowing you to create a new one. This feature will help you quickly create an event on-the-fly without dealing with Scheduling anything!

2. Staff Picks Leaderboard

We’re all super excited about this. As VOKLE continues growing, it’s become essential to promote our best content to our Frontpage. What you’ll notice is essentially a Leaderboard of our Staff Picks which is sorted in Most Viewed. Not only is this an awesome way to promote our best broadcasters, but also a way for you to grow your audience! Keep in mind, this updates every 2 weeks!

3. Consolidated Commenting

We’ve also implemented a little change to Commenting. So right now, people can comment on Lineup pages, and Event pages. We’ve brought both systems together so that you can now comment only on people’s Lineup page (think of it as a ‘Channel Shoutbox’). This will give commenting much greater focus!

There ya go people, what are your thoughts? As always, keep the suggestions and feedback coming via the comments!
