Would you please check out my videos at
http://massmouth.ning.com/video/doria-hughes-tells-the-four-1http://massmouth.ning.com/video/doria-hughes-tells-tokoyo
and vote in the comment box below it for me for me !
We could upload a little instructional video on how to vote at the site?
Grand prize award ceremony and screening outside ? on a big projector? on a wall? or in a library or something? get dressed up like academy awards ? get dressed down ? like street performers?
You may post your video anywhere else to win the peoples choice - send it to Aunt Minnie and have her post it to her Facebook profile - see ? You get the idea.

Yeah! Glad you like this idea the motivation here is to get the videos posted everywhere !!!! People ar not using this resource nearly enough. Also will motivate people who do not have video to come to a mouthoff OR a web 2.0 bootcamp. more on that later.
