Wired magazine posted this article “Web 2.0 Project Taps ‘Wisdom of the Crowd’ to Probe Presidential Contenders” last week and although it seems to have a bit of the youtube debate flavor - it could prove to be very interesting.
The web-hip “community-driven” presidential debates touted by the television networks have been a disappointment so far. The events may use voter-submitted videos, instant messages and e-mails, but all that packet juice is poured into the same old, tired broadcast formula that appoints journalists as the arbiters of which questions candidates are asked — and relies on the usual small circle of pundits to analyze the answers.
We’ll have to keep an eye on it and see where it leads.
