Hawaii, Presidential Debate - new media channels- Zannel
I am in Hawaii...working.
I missed the Presidential debates tonight, the stockmarket crash two or three days ago(that seems to be a constant these days)
and a girl friend being evacuated from her house due to the fires in Los Angeles.
I guess if I was savvy to the following new multi media channel,I could have been reminded to the debates at least ! Am I still in America? Neither candidate has campaigned in Hawaii- Hawaii marches to its own laid back tune I guess.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – October 15, 2008 – Zannel, the instant media
network used by millions to share pictures, videos and text from a
mobile phone or the web, today announced that anyone can engage in the
conversation on its online forums PoliticsBlue (www.zannel.com/politicsblue) and PoliticsRed (wwwzannel.com/politicsred),
which are dedicated to a lively political discourse on the upcoming
presidential election. Those who choose to "follow" PoliticsBlue or
PoliticsRed will receive real-time alerts as Zannel's citizen
journalists post new video, images or text to the channels.
This is the first presidential election where the mainstream press has been joined by an army of self-starting bloggers, videographers, tweeters and new media activists who have enlisted the mobile phone as the tool to quickly capture photos, short videos clips and text commentary and then instantly communicate their message to audiences in real-time.
Zannel's unique technology allows people to post multimedia content
from anywhere, which is then available on over 800 handsets models
across all the major carriers. This gives citizen journalists covering
the election on behalf of the Zannel's PoliticsBlue and PoliticsRed
channels unprecedented reach and the ability to better engage audiences
in a real-time dialogue.
