The CNN/YouTube debate spin room stream
Posted by shelbinator under Cool things, Geekery, Politics, YouTube and such
Here it is, ladies and gents, the magical embed box that will bring you along for the ride at tonight’s debate.
(Placed below the fold b/c the archived version autoplays. Annoying!)
UPDATE: the above is now the recorded video.
I should start streaming around 6:30 or 7. The window ought to switch to a still frame of the video once I’m broadcasting. If you want to join in a chatroom with other video-watchers, go to the channel page. And PLEASE text me (I’ve turned off Twitter, you verbose so-and-so’s) if something goes wrong (like the camera starts pointing at people’s crotches and I don’t notice or the mic goes out, etc).

And frankly, there were enough of you watching who knew how to hail by via text message as I frequently requested, but no one let me know (complaining the next morning is easier), so you get out what you put in. Support blog research! […]

It is grainy and the audio isn’t that great (due to the acoustics) but it does show John standing around, looking at what appears to be a blackberry or cell phone and also talking to the producer who wanted to relocate him.

This is so exciting! My computer keeps jumping, though (live streaming is beyond its capability, I’m afraid), so I’ll switch to CNN and come back for the highlights. Enjoy hob-nobbing with the political journalists!
