Clips can be created using a digital camera, PC-based audio recording software or a webcam to capture video and sound.

In cooperation with Coull Ltd, LYCOS offers JubiiBloggers a free programme which helps them to edit together images, videos, sounds and text and upload them to their Blogs without any technical know-how. Once posted, the clips are hosted and streamed by LYCOS.

Thomas Servatius at LYCOS Europe comments: “The LYCOS JubiiBlog service is taking a lead in developing services for bloggers. Audio and videoblogging tools is a key part of our development. "

"As the internet becomes more interactive and more people have broadband connections, greater numbers of our users want to be able to share audio and video clips. Adding these functions to our blogging service seemed a natural next step.”
