If it's not there, does that mean it's already been chosen?

10. Try this one

I don't know if they change their numbering system, but this worked for me over the 20 minutes on two different machines.

Interesting video. The video has the idiots who drove through camp with their horns blaring. It has someone saying that the triangle was sold last week. It had been county public property and that then one of the landowners bought it. That's the first time I had heard that one.

It has Bill Mitchell and Cindy Sheehan at the end too.

12. "......the triangle was sold last week"

Shrub probably bought it!!! Hadn't thought of that yet!!!

:rofl:

11. Maybe this is a good sign...

14. Gore said all along that the content would depend on what

people vote for.

[drummo]

16. Exactly

It's beyond me why so many liberals still don't get what Current is all about.

The system works this way:

You guys pick a subject and make a pod. Upload it and other people vote for it if they like it.
If it gets enough greenlights it goes to TV and you get paid. If not you can do anything you want with it after 3 months.

The details of the greenlight system have not been yet clarified because the community is not big enough and Current already had videos in the months before the lauch of their website.
But what I said is the essence of it. Which means that it will be a political network exactly as much the pod creators and the viewers will make it one. Once the community is big enough Gore or the others at Current will not have control over the programming. The pod producers and the viewers will.

BTW, One Day in Camp Casey is a horrible shot. Poor camera control, poor sound and everything. It's not ready for TV.
Liberal citizen reporters should learn something from this guy:

http://www.current.tv/studio/media/226663
http://www.current.tv/studio/media/201490

He is a pro-war pro-Bush Republican and he knows something about how to shoot high quality, ready-for-TV reports -- even though he is an amateur.

Or for that matter, you can learn from this producer:

http://www.current.tv/studio/people/vrassociates

He has the highest rated video, currently.
Guess why?

18. Welcome to DU

17. If you don't like that video, sign up and vote for one you like. (nt)

20. Now there is another Camp Casey video

http://current.tv/studio/media/256173

The quality is much better but still bad.
Those who care so much about this story can't take a 3-chip camera and a stable tripod and a good mic with them and create a top-notch pod?

This is TV not podcasting, for goodness' sake.

Thanks for the welcome, GreenPartyVoter.

[Eric J in MN]

21. What is a "3-chip camera?"

22. Watch 'gear guide' in this:

23. This story is a NO-BRAINER.. voting should not be necessary

The whole aspect of "voting" to see what you want to see, is nuts. NEWS just IS..unless you count the ever-popular crap stories about missing girls, sharks, JLo etc..THOSE are the stories that get voted for.. News that is NOT shown to you, does not exist, so how would you even KNOW about it to vote on it:eyes:

[drummo]

25. SoCalDem, in case you missed it...

Current is NOT a news network. And voting is a good quality control for amateur videos. Much better than if one person (the programming editor) decides.

"NEWS just IS..unless you count the ever-popular crap stories about missing girls, sharks, JLo etc..THOSE are the stories that get voted for"

Not on Current, that's for sure. The most popular video right now is a left-wing ad:

Watch it:

And as I said, the two Camp Casey videos are crap. They are good for a vblog but not for TV.

26. CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News aren't so wonderful these days,

and Al Gore trying something original.

24. gave it a greenlight n/t
