It's extremely important right now that we have as diverse and rich a debate as possible and that everyone should have access to it regardless of their geographical or economic situations. Especially first hand accounts which humanize the situation as opposed to such abstractions as the little clips and slices shown on the nightly news. I'm really glad video blogging, bittorrent, and podcasting were here for this, they've done a lot of good, though it is very clear they have a very long way to go. We're seeing new kinds of interactions between the traditional press and new media. I just hope in the future there are more ways for the general public to contribute than just money. Make sure you donate through a credible source such as the Red Cross.
One last thought. The future is a waveofdistruction.org, set up on the spot with not only rich media but several podcasting channels and original content and commentary from people on location. There's no reason a media outlet will not be able to spring up in the near future for individual incidents and then disolve when no longer necissary. Think of it as smart mobs for smart media.

More press related the iPod fan-advert. NY Times calls it vigilanty marketing. That's sort of funny. It goes with their whole conspiracy approach though. I love that idea... the masses conspiring against the large corporations. Even our conspiracy theories are being affected by the bottom-up revolution. :)
The long tail is becoming a book and is already a blog. This will probably go straight to the top of my blog reading list. I think the long tail theory is infinitely more important than any other "marketing" theories out this last year. Even that "creative class" stuff. It marks a significant new way of looking at a significant new cultural paradigm. And yes, "paradigm" is precisely the word, this is the cathedral and the bazzar, small pieces loosely joined, top-down to bottom-up. I predict that even before the book hits the shelves it'll be the biggest marketing buzz-word since "e-commerce". I just wish I'd have coined the phrase. ;)
Today I've been checking out some of the video bloggers online to try and get a feel for how many are out there, how many are podcasting their content, and what sort of stuff they're doing. One of the more interesting video bloggers is Eric Rice. He has a nice copy of the Grey Album music video that he has podcasted.
What can I say, but cool. And I want. To bad it's only a concept, but hopefully we'll see a new VW mini bus in the coming years from Volkswagen.
LED Flashlights are coming along nicely. This rechargable beauty will run for ten minutes with only 30 seconds of cranking. With 40 minutes of cranking it'll run for 24 hours. While i doubt anyone would crank it for 40 minutes (also comes with a wall charger) it does speak to it's efficiency. In fact with the durability of the LED lights it would make a great backpacking flashlight.
