I have another one on how to actually get viewers for those videos - otherwise it's a tad pointless, (p)reaching-to-the-converted: http://paulcanning.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-not-to-do-video-about-recycling.html Also posted before about where political dialogue *is actually happening on YouTube (i.e. off the radar of the 'engagerati') http://paulcanning.blogspot.com/2008/04/could-british-teacher-ever-do-this.html Thanks for the plug Stuart.

Askimet has now been taught the error of its ways... Guess knowing how to use the software properly might be easier said than done, but the more people in the sector use it, the faster everyone will learn. Certainly the Hammersmith and Fulham council tax video on Youtube taught people the problems of astroturfing pretty quickly for one.

Youtube.con does not generate correct RSS feeds. There is a specification that they don't follow strictly. But WordFrame needs correct feeds in order to autopost them. So these feeds does not go through our rss validation process (we follow strictly RSS feeds format specification) and cannot be autoposted." Rumen Yankov, WordFrame support.
