The Quicklink Contributor: Post . Connect . Broadcast Live

Post a job. An event has occurred. You need images of the event, or someone to report from the scene. Simply post a job on the Contributor cloud by specifying it's nature, location, radius and duration.

Connect with Skype users worldwide. The Quicklink Contributor App, once downloaded on any Skype enabled mobile device, will instantly notify contributors about newly posted jobs in their area. You can appoint contributors who have accepted a job. This is a geo-paging system rather than a tracking system. The system does not reveal any personal data nor location per session without approval by the contributors. Approval is granted each time a contributor accepts a new job.

Broadcast live. With the Quicklink TX, turn any smartphone and other portable Skype-enabled device into your first reporters. Your selected contributor will be "live to air" before any satellite truck or hardware solution appears on the scene.
