Philadelphia Eagle Gives His Take on the Super Bowl & New App, VEEPIO
Najee Goode is both a linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles and a design engineer for the app VEEPIO. The Super Bowl hopeful joins Cheddar to explain what the Eagles need to do to win on Sunday and why VEEPIO is helping fans be more engaged.
Goode says the Eagles will stop at nothing to win this weekend. As a member of the Eagles' defensive line, he is going to go out and play the best defense possible.
Goode explains that the new app VEEPIO makes fan engagement easier and more streamlined. Fans can interact by tagging content and collaborate on information and fan content. Fans can click on a player's picture and at one moment brag about their favorite player and in the next buy that player's jersey.
Goode says the response from the fans has been incredible. Goode says Philly has the best fans in the world so it is great to see them interact in this way.
Goode explains how tech has been an incredible platform for him and his former teammates to build a career outside of professional footbal.
One month after its launch, new streaming venture CNN+ announced it was shutting down. Seth Schachner, the managing director of StratAmericas and digital business executive, joined Cheddar News to talk about the high-profile media flop. "That's a really, really different beast than what HBO Max is, which is video streaming, entertainment features," he said. “It's a tough sell when you really look at these things in the cold light of day as to whether or not they actually fit together."
Meta wants creators to make money from the metaverse, but it's going to take a large chunk of the cut. The tech giant is planning to keep nearly 50% of all digital asset sales within Horizon Worlds, the virtual reality platform that's considered an integral part of the company's unfolding metaverse. Rolf Illenberger, Co-founder and Managing Director of VRdirect, joined Cheddar to discuss why Meta is taking heat for this move, and what it could be doing as an alternative to help support creators, small businesses, and consumers.
