On the heels of a conference call organized by Stephane Dion’s office with some key Liberal bloggers, Liberals in the blogosphere have set up a single point-of-contact for those who want to watch YouTube content created by Liberal supporters. Here’s the release from Liblog creator Jason Cherniak:
Liblogs, the unofficial list of Liberal bloggers, launches a video page on the Liblogs.ca website
Toronto, March 28, 2007 – Canadians are watching YouTube videos more and more every day. Taking advantage of this new medium, Liblogs.ca will now offer one location for Liberals to post their YouTube videos (http://liblogs.ca/news.en.cgi?10) for all to see.
“Ever since Stéphane Dion’s election as leader, Liberals have been making videos at home and sending them to me,” explained Jason Cherniak, founder and president of Liblogs. “I realized that it was time to expand Liblogs so that we could display those videos in one easy to access location for all Canadians to see.”
Liblogs is the operating name of a non-profit corporation, Blogger Support Services. For over a year, it has been operating a list of Liberal bloggers at http://liblogs.ca, where Canadians can scan the headlines of the posts of over 250 Liberal bloggers at any time, on any day.
“This new video page is in addition to our main blog service and Liblogs News, which highlights a selection of some of the best Liberal Blog posts once a day,” said Mr. Cherniak. “Liblogs videos will allow Liberals from across the country to use their creative talents and express their support for the Liberal Party in the most modern manner available.”
I guess we can look for gems like this March 23 video from Cherniak's blog to be all located in one place.
Personally, I can't wait.
When we see bloggers: Is Cherniak On The Liberal Payroll? , I doubt that he is. As per the Liblog page, it accepts donations. It would be interesting to know, where the major support to keep Liblogs running comes from? And, yet another question would be, who are the Directors for the non-profit corporation.
