Neighborhood America of Naples, FL, is providing the technology and service for the ABC/AOL initiative, called
"Seen and Heard in America." It is based on a Web-based solution that enables a news team to capture video and text content, moderate and review the submissions, and integrate selected content into their news process to enhance news coverage.
Called Neighborhood America's Public Comment Service, the system enables organizations to collect large amounts of information from the public in a structured and organized manner. The mobile video is delivered to ABC via a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, which means that it is a hosted service.
