Thanks for sharing, Taran, that is fascinating, and exciting. I would see this as a probably logical next step in the evolution of communication, following list-serves, podcasting, etc.
I wonder what impact this could have on the next electoral cycle (or maybe the one-after-next, depending on the speed of development) in a country like Egypt or Belarus or Zimbabwe or Russia (or China, assuming they even have an electoral cycle). After all, the presence of a single truly independent TV station (Channel 5) made a lot of difference during last year's political excitement in Ukraine (see the report on our monitoring of a variety of different channels at http://www.osce.org/item/4010.html and the general statement our team issued after the elections at http://www.osce.org/item/4011.html) I would be reluctant to expect too much impact on US politics, but it might make a big difference in Lebanon or Morocco or Mexico.... Truly, exciting times.
