Link TV has already launched a linear website that allows people to post “video letters” about the 2008 U.S. presidential election, with an emphasis on international submissions. Visitors can watch short videos uploaded from all around the world, of people speaking to the camera on diverse issues like aid to Kenya, Burmese autonomy and America’s image abroad. They can upload video letters themselves, or leave text and video comments. We envision making these videos more accessible by plotting them on a world map with pinpoints indicating where the videos come from. A concurrent project at Link TV records and logs TV news reports from countries all over the world (Global Pulse). We would like to take as many as 30 world reports covering the U.S. election from countries like China, Russia and Iran, and plot these videos on the map, too, using a different color pinpoint, adding new news reports as the election cycle progresses. These pop-up windows could play the news video, and also have a tab for an RSS feed from the featured broadcaster. Other tabs could have RSS headline feeds for that country from alternative news sources like Global Voices. As a “nice-to-have”, it would be interesting to incorporate other statistical details with these video popup balloons, such as country statistics on GDP, poverty level, and (optimistically) broad assessments of U.S. aid and military involvement.
