VH1 takes ‘Junk’ mobile for uploads, viewing, voting

Steve Safran December 19th, 2006

VH1’s “Web Junk 20″ (Which I would happily link to if it were Mac-compatible) is one of the most enjoyable, easiest to produce shows on the network. VH1 partners with iFilm and features 20 viral vids from online. Current host Rachel Perry links them together and like that - you’ve got a show. Now VH1 is launching “Mobile Junk 20,” which is pretty much what it sounds like. They could have simply featured the same videos on a mobile app, but they have gone further. People can upload their vids and pics to Mobile Junk 20 and vote on their favorites. And there’s more social stuff still to come. The app is only available on Sprint at the moment, but you can expect it on other carriers in ‘07.
