Impact of YouTube on CT race--Htfd Courant

[monarch]

In the past week, nearly 700 people have watched a video lampooning ads from U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman's campaign.

"'Ned Lamont wears pants,' intones a gravelly voiced announcer. His tone becomes more challenging as he says: "What does he wear under those pants? Boxers? Briefs? Even a thong? What is he hiding?"

.....

"The short clip is one of hundreds posted on Nedheads, the third most popular stop in the "News and Blogs" group of YouTube.com, right behind first-place "Bush Sucks" and then "Indyvideo."

"The visual medium has a greater impact than the printed word," said Bob Adams, known online as ctbob or Connecticut Bob. "The fact that we can now put video up on the Internet ... allows more ... access to sharing ... views about what's happening in the world."

"Nedheads was created March 26 by a man who goes by the alias "Scarce." In a telephone interview last week - to a Prince Edward Island phone number - Scarce said he lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Nedheads has a core group of two dozen to three dozen Connecticut-based bloggers who send their video footage to Scarce for approval and posting, he said. CTBlogger, Connecticut Bob and Spazeboy are three local bloggers who create many of the group's videos."

Lots, lots more good stuff! Congratulations to our very own Spazeboy.

Sorry I don't make it over here as much as I'd like. I assure you all that I'm doing everything I can to make an impact on this race--Ned Lamont is our best hope to begin the ending of this war.

Keep checking spazeboy.net I have new video up from last night and will have more later.
