event code sample

For instance this news report has an event code 1036923. If you want to add more content or get other people to contribute to this existing news event, use the event code (Event Code: @1036923), as the first word of the SMS or MMS message followed by a space then add your contribution (text, image or video). For example: @abcxyz This is an amazing video of Greg Norman eating a shark in Sydney, Australia. The first word of the message should be @abcxyz (event code), to make sure the system attaches your voice to the right news event.

You can also share the event code of your news report with you friends to contribute their voices (text, video and images) to your news event. This would result in more page views for you.

6. How do I know my total number of pageviews and how I am doing in the incentive program?

  • Number of page views per news reports you created
  • Number of times your profile page is viewed
  • Number of page views your contributions received on other people's new report e.g. uploaded videos or images etc.
