First video for Videobloggingweek2008.
Videoblogging week started in 2004 with less than ten videobloggers
as a participatory way to raise awareness of videoblogging and welcome
new videobloggers. Over the years Videoblogging Week has grown to be an
exciting yearly event that encourages people to push themselves
creatively.
I’m also posting this to Semanal.

Here’s FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein talking about Net Neutrality.
He was speaking to a great panel at the Politics Online conference
on the future of broadband in the US. It’s funny that the conversation
is not about technology, but simply what "openness" means. The current
Bush administration (represented by the guy on the right) thinks we should just let market forces figure it
out. But others consider broadband as a public service like telephone,
water, and roads. Without open guidelines, where’s the innovation and equal access when
there’s a duopoly controlling the access to the internet?

Look how insane LA looks at night as you fly into the city.
We built it piece by piece.
This is for week 7 of Semanal.
Music: Pachebel’s Canon In D (Glass Harmonica). See how they play the crystals here. Kick ass.
Political Video
February 18th, 2008Schlomo and I are co-moderating a panel at The Politics Online Conference on March 5, 2008. We’ll be joined by Richard Bluestein (aka Madge), Jim Bray of Why Tuesday, and hopefully someone from The Uptake. Our goal is to highlight the growing ability for grassroots web video to affect the political conversation we have in this country.
I’m especially realizing how important an online community can help raise money.
From a recent article in the London Telegraph:
Last month, for example, Mr Obama raised an astonishing $32 million
(about £18 million). Of this, all but $4 million was donated online, by
hundreds of thousands of small donors (90 per cent gave $100 or less).
That’s huge money and can only happen because Obama has been the one of the few candidates (also Ron Paul) to reach out online in a big way. Web video can help build this relationship. Anyway, here’s our panel info. We’d love to see you come by.
Title:
How web video changes the political conversation – http://polc.ipdi.org/Agenda
Description:
Regular people are increasingly making media that adds
to the political conversation, lugging small (and big) cameras to political
events and telling their own stories. They post their own commentary on issues
using webcams. They use video clips to influence their own communities. They
don’t stick to talking points. What’s a campaign manager or issue advocate to
do?
