My ooVoo Day Political and National Conventions
We recently completed another successful “My ooVoo Day” event this one focusing on discussions about the political landscape in the U.S. ahead of the election of a new president later this year. The conversations were fun and meaningful, providing the political hosts and bloggers a platform to express their opinions about the forthcoming elections but also an opportunity to see and hear from other individuals.
Several of the participating bloggers continued to use ooVoo to file reports live from the Democratic and Republican National Conventions earlier this month. The conventions were amongst the biggest events in the U.S. political calendar with thousands of people attending to hear speeches from the presidential candidates, vice presidents and their parties.
Eileen Smith, a host during My ooVooDay Political and editor of Texas Monthly, a well respected magazine and website serving Texas, attended both conventions in Denver and Minneapolis and conducted a daily ooVoo video interview with her editorial team back in Texas. Throughout the road to the Whitehouse campaign Eileen and her team will offer their insight and opinion in a daily “ooVoocast” – as Eileen has begun calling her reports which can be viewed at http://www.TexasMonthly.com, click on the Election 2008 update on the left side.
