CNN recently ran interviews with Democratic presidential hopefuls based on video questions from YouTube users. It was really interesting to read Jeff Jarvis (
www.buzzmachine.com) on the event. He said it would have been better if CNN had let YouTube users vote on which video questions should have been put to the presidential hopefuls. I agree. It would have made the event much more interesting. Jarvis touches on the key point about social media and blogging. The fact that it is about crowd sourcing. Getting collective wisdom. Listening to people in the most authentic sense.
