MSM Corporation today announced that it had successfully achieved a prototype version of its online talent competition, Megastar Millionaire.
The creation of the prototype has come ahead of schedule and contains the basic features and functionalities that will distinguish the contest.
A limited invitation only audience can now log-in and utilise the platform in the same way that competition talent and fans will be able to when the competition has launched.
The data received from this audience will be used for qualitative research including market definition.
A highlight of the prototype is the ability of Megastar Millionaire’s talent and fans to link the platform app top a video player account (such as YouTube) and choose to share videos as well as vote on them.
The final product will also enable visitors to share content via social media platforms.
“The completion of our prototype marks a major milestone for MSM, as we continue to move towards the launch of the Megastar Millionaire platform,” said Managing Director Dion Sullivan.
“The initial version of the product will help us test product decisions and refine our platform, as well as engage strategic partners and attract potential competition contestants.”
