Chris -thanks for putting this together. I'd not actually seen this yet, but I do remember that interview at the end of the conference being in between large pints of cold Guinness. I am curious how the video folks were able to superimpose Michael Moore's image with my voice...;-)

I think it would be a great format (if we had more resources, namely time) to have our authors give a 1 minute video summary of the posts at the top, for people to get the main gist - if they are interested and have more time then can read the entire article.

A cultural observation - why are Brits (in general, but yourself included), so consistently articulate??

It's not that Brits are articulate, it's just that Americans aren't :p

I think video is a good medium, if you keep it pretty short and snappy; if people want more info they can read. It's also a good medium for certain kinds of impact, like The Story of Stuff did so well.

But really, you need some really good-looking people telling the story. I mean, just compare your vids to the peak oil explanation by this woman.
