Amuso Launches Embeddable Media Player; Driving Web 2.0 Monetization

NEW YORK, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Amuso.com, the online game show site, today announced its official launch to the U.S. market along with the global availability of its proprietary embeddable media player. The company offers the first online talent show platform that allows consumers to create and compete in online contests for cash, rewards and recognition. On Amuso, contestants can pay small entry fees that roll up into cash prizes for the winners and rewards for creators of shows. Not only does Amuso allow users to share in the profits, but it also lets brands and non-profits run viral contest promotions to garner supporters on any website.

"Amuso marries the traditional TV format of popular talent shows with the online world and user generated content," said Jordi Bartomeu, CEO and co-founder of Amuso. "The best part -- you can make money just by starting a contest or showing off your talent."

Amuso aims to empower consumers who have always dreamed of starring in a show but never got a break. From now on, there is no need for studio contracts, celebrity judges or rigorous auditions; everyone can star on Amuso.com. After only two months, Amuso has already attracted 100,000 monthly visitors, 20,000 registered contestants and paid out over $10,000 in cash prizes.

Just as contestants take center stage, Amuso puts brands and non-profits in the spotlight with creative video or photo contests. "Amuso opened up a whole new fundraising channel for us, and a great way to engage both new and existing supporters," says Dr. Eric Ling, founder of The O Campaign for Cancer Prevention with over 3.4 million members.

With the launch of Amuso's embeddable media player, consumers can integrate interactive shows directly into their own websites, blogs or other social media platforms with a simple mouse click. For brand and non-profit partners, the embeddable media player plugs viral contest promotions into any site, engaging audiences at no cost. Through its consumer funded and rewarding business model, Amuso allows everyone to generate much needed funds, raise awareness and promote their brands.

"Amuso is bringing the broadest pool of talent to the world's biggest stage so everyone can shine," added Barak Rabinowitz, COO and co-founder at Amuso. "By letting everyone create a show and share in the profit, we hope to empower the media moguls of tomorrow."
