Say It To Katie Couric

Katie Couric is looking for you to submit videos to the CBS Evening News. She says:

Got 20 seconds? Tell us your thoughts about President Obama's first 100 days in office. My video explains it, but in a nutshell you have 20 seconds to tell us what President Obama did right, or what he did wrong. We may even play your video in our Webcast on April 29th!

This is very cool because back in 2006 I suggested a similar idea.

Jeff Jarvis wrote about it. I created a site, and hosted the videos on blip.tv.

That lead me to visiting CBS and meeting Katie.

Now Katie is soliciting videos Facebook and YouTube. Nice.

I made a video to explain how to post videos to a Facebook fan page.



In order to submit a video, people need to go to the Wall and click in the 'Write something...' space, then click 'Video', then choose either 'record a video with a web cam' or 'upload a video from your drive'.

New England Patriots: Best TV Coverage

I felt bad for Channel 5 (ABC) in Boston. They signed a deal for exclusive coverage of last night's Partiots/Giants game, and the NFL broke the contract and gave the game to 4 (CBS) and 7 (NBC).

The NFL ended up giving Channel 5 three playoff tickets and exclusive access for their pre-game and post-game shows. Those exclusives didn't end up being so valuable.

Pre Game
When game time came, I watched the Channel 5 pre-game for their exclusive on field interviews. Not that exciting.

Game Time
When game time arrived, I flipped over to the other stations to check them out, and found that Channel 4 had the best sound. Much better than 5 or 7.

Post Game
When it was time for the exclusive post-game coverage, Mike Lynch of Channel 5 was left alone standing in the corridor, looking in vain for players to interview. Sad. I flipped over to Channel 4, and there was Bill Belichick's press conference, LIVE.
