Kotecki joins Politico: 'I haven't sold out; I bought in'

Check out the announcement and take note of Politico's political coverage. It's one of the hottest sites around and has great potential. Excerpt:

Kotecki has already begun producing a daily video version of Mike Allen’s "Playbook," and will soon be hitting the trail to offer Politico.com readers a different way to view the election.
The Economist hailed Kotecki as “probably the world's foremost expert on YouTube videos posted by presidential candidates."

Fun vid interview here if the embedded one doesn't work well.

Maybe CNN/YouTube offer not all it's billed as...

The Opinionator (a New York Times M-F blog)points out that Joshua Levy, in his techPresident blog, questions just how "citizen" and participatory the debates will be since CNN will be the sole arbiter of whose video questions will be asked in the debate. (See the post below if this is leaving you out in the cold.)

Checking in on the Cheese

Emergency Cheese, that is -- James Kotecki. I hadn't tuned in to my YouTube channel, where I subscribe to his political commentary, since around graduation time so I was wondering if he was going to continue after getting his degree. Evidently, yes. Although his apartment appears to have had an upgrade.
In this vid, he talks about the CNN/YouTube invitation to video makers to submit video questions for the upcoming debate. Might want to take a look.
