I believe, though, that we got the rest of it right when we said that many organizations are involved. But just to be fair to the State Department, I just added them into the post as one of the organizations also participating. Thanks, Val, for your interest and input. We really appreciate it at Cause Global and hope you'll keep reading! Check out the links in the post to find out more! And definitely let us know if you're producing a video, yourself. We plan to start running some citizen-generated feeds onto Cause Global very soon as part of our expansion.<BR/><BR/>The Editors/CauseGlobalMarcia Stepanekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890455075715762494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962402423742010015.post-41674175115076202802008-10-15T10:48:00.000-04:002008-10-15T10:48:00.000-04:00Thanks for blogging about this Marcia!

The videos need to be under 3 minutes long, and the Democracy Video Challenge is hosted by the U.S. Department of State, and TakingItGlobal and Ymex are partnering with State to help spread the word about this exciting contest! <BR/><BR/>For more information and to enter please visit:<BR/>www.videochallenge.america.govVal and Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466015205519765580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962402423742010015.post-57141690577071083852008-10-14T18:38:00.000-04:002008-10-14T18:38:00.000-04:00Nice blog!About the videos, I agree it's a great i...Nice blog!<BR/>About the videos, I agree it's a great idea and it's a cheap way to reach a lot of people. But it's true as well, that we have the video platforms overflooded with videos. <BR/>We have to be careful in a society with information saturation.<BR/><BR/>EnriqueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962402423742010015.post-45200570471896292032008-10-10T09:15:00.000-04:002008-10-10T09:15:00.000-04:00Congratulations on the blog Marcia!

I also may have some young tech/activist types you might want to meet. Keep up the great work. <BR/><BR/>Matt (your old pal from China Institute)<BR/><BR/>P.S. I am living in New Jersey right now.
