New video website WinkBall.com has already attracted 100,000 users in less than two months.

A new video website called WinkBall.com has already attracted 100,000 users after been launched just 6 weeks ago in September 2009.

British-based WinkBall.com is a video communications company that has already seen politicians, pop stars and sporting icons get involved.

It is a free, web-based, personal video communication service, which allows anyone to record, send and share videos with friends and family – privately. Users can also create and post content to video blogs and walls for private and public viewing.

Established in London in 2005 by Dr. James Ohene-Djan and Duncan Barclay, the WinkBall Project team is looking to become a leading player in driving the future development of online communication.

Dr James Ohene-Djan said: “WinkBall.com seems to have captured the public’s imagination: we’ve quickly transformed from a technology company into a media company driven by the public’s desire to have their say and communicate.

“Thousands of people have communicated their views using our video walls, whilst many others have sent video messages to loved ones and created video blogs of their lives.”

The site has created 500 hours of video messages from members of the public and personalities from the world of politics, sport and showbiz. David Cameron, Terry Venables, Stephen Fry, Levi Roots and Dizzee Rascal are just some of the names who have ‘winked’ on the site.

Content comes from both members uploading short video messages, as well as ‘vox pops’ filmed by WinkBall’s team of 50 reporters who cover events around the country.

The site intends to encourage online debate through its public video walls, allowing users to post their views and opinions on specific topics as video message discussions.

The first major demonstration of Winkball technology came with a unique social project – a video archive of the 2009 Notting Hill Carnival.

The company has also launched its Faces for the Forces campaign, backed by the Royal British Legion – which aims to collect 1 million video messages of support for the Armed Forces by Remembrance Sunday.
