YouTube Launches CitizenTube
YouTube has formally announced a new, official channel of political videos called CitizenTube. As the 2008 presidential race heats up, CitizenTube aims to aggregate the political videos already appearing in YouTube. And with CitizenTube, politicians and the voting public are free to be seen and heard. Politicians can showcase their propaganda and platform and the voting public can create their own video criticizing or praising political figures. ExecutiveBiz will be producing our annual Web 2.0 for Business conference on October 25, 2007. Stay tuned for more details.

I'm a Member of ExecutiveBiz
"I'm always looking for outside organizations to join where I can learn important lessons or hear about other people's experiences that I can apply to my job. That's certainly been the case with ExecutiveBiz. What I especially like is the smaller, more focused gatherings which allows you to get deeper on a particular subject and the very diverse membership. It's helpful for me to hear from folks in different markets and professions."
