Why We Love Britain

LONDON, January 29 - It's just a matter of time before a date is announced - May 6th is
looking like the front-runner, but we all know that 2010 is election year for
the UK. And there's nothing like an election to make you question what you've
got - what you love, what you hate.

The economy, health care and education are often high up the agenda. But
there are some things about this country that politicians can't influence.

Winkball reporters have been up and down the country asking what voters
like about Britain. They've been to cities including Bristol, Norwich,
Edinburgh, Cardiff and London. The weather, the food and unsurprisingly the
people are just some of the things that get the thumbs up. Democracy, freedom
of speech and our multi-cultural society also rate high on what matters to
Britons.

Winkball Co-Founder Dr. James Ohene-Djan commented: "Everyone's got an
opinion on what's great about Britain. Our ethos at Winkball.com is all about
communicating happiness and living in Britain makes us feel good despite what
we read in the papers. We want to encourage as many people as possible to
get online, come to the site and record their opinions. WinkBall.com is
giving the UK a video voice which is changing the way we view news and share
our opinions and feelings,"

The technology is cutting edge and its British. It's the brainchild of
creative computer scientist Dr James Ohene-Djan, of Goldsmiths College in
London and Correspondent.com, and is the first integrated video
communications service based on video messaging and the latest social
networking phenomenon to come out of a university campus.

Winkball.com gives anyone and everyone a means of sharing their
experiences through video messaging. At the London Skyride event for example,
when traffic is banished from parts of the capital for the day, cyclists were
asked to share their experiences and views on a wide range of issues, from
road safety to cycle renting schemes.

In November Faces for the Forces, a campaign to collect a million video
messages of support for UK troops serving abroad was launched. Bruce Forsyth,
Steve Coogan, Nick Clegg and Zoe Lucker are amongst the celebrities who're
supporting the initiative. Reporters were out the length and breadth of
Britain including the Barracks towns of Colchester, Guildford and Aldershot
collecting goodwill messages.

Dr Ohene-Djan continued: "Our campaign to take a message to the forces
ties in with our wider aim to expand the idea of Citizen Video, so that
everyone in the UK has the opportunity to express themselves and share their
feelings online."
