Elizabeth Edwards on Al Gore's new CURRENT "Viewpoints" net site feature:

Got this from Al Gore today about the new stuff:
Dear xxxxxxx ,

Current, the media company I co-founded six years ago with my partner Joel Hyatt, just last week launched a new web site that integrates television and the Web in an unprecedented way. It provides, as never before, a platform for citizens to make the media their own.

One of the features I'm most excited about on Current.com is called Viewpoints. Viewpoints is a virtual town hall where you can share your opinions, in video, about the issues that matter in the 2008 election: from global warming to government eavesdropping, and many more.

This digital town hall is already bustling, and you can find viewpoints from me and from a lot of people, including the candidates running for President. Come and listen to their positions and, more importantly, tell them and the rest of the world what you think!

Since Viewpoints is the only place on the Web where you can easily share your view in video, my hope is that you'll take this opportunity to go toe-to-toe with the pundits on TV and help contribute to a new platform for public discourse. All it takes is a webcam and 60 seconds.

And, since we'll be taking the most popular and most compelling viewpoints and airing them on Current TV -- now available in 52 million homes around the world -- you may very well get your voice heard on our global TV network.

I look forward to seeing and hearing you on Current.com, as we deepen the discussion on these important topics:

Thank you,

Al Gore

1. I, for one, am thrilled that Al Gore invented the Internet ;)

And I'm glad he's still finding ways around the msm.

Good for Elizabeth to quickly take advantage of this new venue!

2. Me too! But CURRENT TV can be addictive. Once you start watching it can keep you there with it's

short, interesting segments. I keep it on in the background while I'm working some days and find myself watching a lot more than I should. For instance, when I used to keep MSNBC or CNN in the background I was rarely distracted unless it was by the idiocracy.

4. Hmm, that kind of addiction sounds tempting...

I've only glanced at Current TV so far ~ I'll have to tune in!

3. Should we have a rebirth of democracy, I'm convinced

national two way communication such as the Internet and Current.com will lead the way.

Thanks for the thread, cyberpj:thumbsup:

Kicked and recommended.

5. "a rebirth of democracy"

Wouldn't that be wonderful?!

I agree, interactive media is the way to go ~ great investment for Gore.

6. "Should we have a rebirth of democracy" - Well we'd better start some real labor pangs soon cause

as much as I hate to say it
(even think it),
it sure feels like we're involved in a miscarriage right now.
