Of course 2-way feedback is the ultimate but how to do it practically? If it was successful there would be millions of comments which make it difficult to process. Maybe it could be connected to an Internet polling function, etc.?

Two-way communication will be the only way anyone can get elected from now on.

Q: Will the YouTube channel have comments enabled?
A: Yes. of course.

Q: Will the administration ever respond to comments?
A: Doubtful actual white staff will, but I imagine they’ll have the RSS feed in their readers, maybe glance at the top rated comments.

Q: Will other video sites or bloggers be able to distribute or embed segments?
A: Of course.

You can also expect the Smithsonian and the National Archives to establish a new method to proper annotate and archive these weekly videos.

YouTube has already enable machine translation of the spoken audio into text ( which is awesome by the way ) so you can look forward to some nice semantic data too!

What I don’t know is if video responses will be allowed, that’s up in the air, and I would imagine they will err on the side of caution and wait a bit, see how all of the above goes.

Like I said over at DLS – After 8 years of secrecy, collusion, dis-information and outright lies, seems almost too good to be true!
