If I see another video with a warmly Presidential candidate earnestly leaning in to me assuring me that this is “a conversation”, I think I’m going to plotz. But more to the point, I suspect that there’s simply too much at stake for the candidates in the U.S. Presidential election to “risk” taking a truly new approach with online video. I was very impressed with the Obama site and hopeful that he would do something truly new with social media, and it still seems to me that he more than any other candidate has the latitude to take video in the direction that Sifry describes, but it hasn’t happened yet.              Related Posts [...] [...] Yes, exactly.

Yes, I got that point, it just seems to me that the great majority of folks wouldn't really care about that, and if they were ever going to use this would just use it to post specific posts that they saw as relevant to the Obama campaign. Maybe not. It just didn't strike me as a big deal, is all. Hey Fred, thanks for the comment.
