Make a “free speech” opinion video for Katie Couric
(Note. I just swapped out the video I had up earlier due to its attrocious audio quality. This one’s basically the same, but with better audio).
Katie Couric just instituted a segment on the CBS news called "Free Speech." It is a good idea but doesn’t go nearly far enough. Basically, she gets big-name people to sound off about something they feel strongly about. She should involve us regular folks in the conversation by creating a website where we can upload our own video opinions, we can vote and comment on each others’ opinions, and CBS can use selected opinions from the website in their free speech segment. If you want Katie to open up the conversation, upload a video expressing your opinion about any issue, and tag it “sayittokatie”. And check out sayittokatie.com for more info. Special shout out to Jeff Jarvis? for the idea, and Steve Garfield for spreading the word.

Sept 21 is the International Day of Peace. Make a video about peace. Tag it peace2006 in mefeedia. And leave a link to your video in the comments section for this post. Some things to think about: what is peace? Is peace possible? How can peace be achieved?
The video I made is a bit irreverent, but yours doesn’t have to be.

Katie Couric has a Videoblog
Big night tonight.
Katie Couric has a video blog.
It plays on a Mac! There are some buffering issues, but that’s expected.
Katie Couric’s Notebook looks like TV on the web. She seems to be reading a teleprompter…
It feels fake and genuine at the same time.
Weird. Like TV I guess.
Her First Look segment is a lot better, Fun!
