In addition to being able to upload content to EyeMobile, the app includes options for viewing content uploaded by others and leaving comments. As for the EyeMobile website, it is very YouTube-esque, allowing you to browse photos and videos by most recent, most viewed, and most commented. The site also allows you to copy and paste code to embed photos and videos elsewhere.

What’s not clear about EyeMobile is how it might integrate with the company’s on-air reporting. Both CNN and Fox News routinely show user-submitted video, while CNN is taking things a step further by utilizing Twitter in its on-air reporting. Of course, CBS has a lot less news coverage than the 24x7 cable networks – 30 minutes every night in addition to The Early Show every morning.
