PSYC at the Europe Music Awards

The EMA is the world's largest music awards event, no matter if you like the music or not, and to keep things working under heavy load MTV and MES have been relying on symlynX and PSYC for the annual video chat event during the awards show from 2003 up to 2006. Juliette and the Licks were hosting it for 2006.

During the event: Inspect your regional MTV website for details, or simply enter psyc://MTV.ve.symlynX.com/@ema. You can even access the event using xmpp:*ema@ve.symlynx.com.

PSYC-enhanced EMAs so far:

• 2003 - Edinburgh
• 2004 - Rome
• 2005 - Lisbon
• 2006 - Copenhagen

Video clips:

• Juliette Lewis and Tiziano Ferro sing a duet on request by a guest in the chat.
• Timbaland answers questions from the Internet audience

Since 2007, MTV chose to donate all their users to Facebook in exchange of an apparently free communications platform.
