Re: [videoblogging] Poll results for videoblogging

[Randolfe Wicker]

I found the poll question to be almost "too difficult" to answer.  On the one hand, I don't like limiting discussion on the part of those who feel passionately that something should be discussed.  On the other hand, I didn't really feel Katrina (outside of discussions about vlogging about it) was a valid subject for this group to get distracted by.   Ultimately, I read various conflicting opinions by posters whom I respected.  I decided "not" to vote because I don't like "voting" when one is really unsure and is really only guessing.   Now, I'm glad I didn't vote.  I didn't dream people's vote would be publicly listed in the manner they were.  I would have hated casting a vote I wasn't sure of and offending someone else by doing so.  I also think that this "vote" was really a pointless exercise since those who were concerned simply proceeded to do what they thought was appropriate to do.   I also find that my own initial opinions have changed a bit insofar as I might have initially leaned toward reluctantly voting "yes" but now after seeing the course (and discourse) that has taken place, I believe I would vote saying posting on this subject was relevant after all.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Kunga To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 1:30 PM Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Poll results for videoblogging So much for the tradition of the secret ballot. almost 1276 members  and 18 votes. wow. 1.4 % voted. I guess the term "participatory  democracy" does not apply here. -- Taylor Barcroft New Media Publisher, Editor, Video Journalist Santa Cruz CA, Beach of the Silicon Valley http://FutureMedia.org On Sep 3, 2005, at 8:44 AM, videoblogging@yahoogroups.com wrote: > POLL QUESTION: Should messages about the nation's deadliest  > hurricane in > more than a century that relate to video reports on the web > be posted to this group? > > CHOICES AND RESULTS > - Yes, 8 votes, 44.44% > - I don't care, 6 votes, 33.33% > - No, 4 votes, 22.22% > > INDIVIDUAL VOTES SPONSORED LINKS Rss reader Fireant Internet directory Individual Free rss reader YAHOO!
