ooVoo Says "Let's Caucus" My ooVoo Day With... Political Edition Launches July 28


Following the success of the "My ooVoo Day With..." event earlier this year "which brought together 25 technology bloggers and their communities for dynamic sessions focusing on social media and the changing face of communications", ooVoo the multi-party video conversation platform is launching another event next week called, "My ooVoo Day With... Political edition." If you read this blog regularly you may know that I'm a big fan of ooVoo and I'm pleased to announce this event.

The video below is ooVoo's CEO, Phillipe Schwartz, and Director of Marketing Communications, Philip Robertson, introducing My ooVoo Day... Political Edition.



"My ooVoo Day Political is an eight day online video conferencing event (starting July 28, 2008) joining leading political bloggers covering the entire spectrum of belief and persuasion with their communities, fans and friends - enabled by ooVoo, the leader in face-to-face multi-person video chat." - Video description - My ooVoo Day Political - Let's Caucus!
Greg Verdino from Crayon says this about the event:
"Whether you're a political junkie or not, it's difficult to deny that the 2008 Presidential Election will be one for the history books. OK -- I suppose all presidential races make their way into the history books, but Obama vs McCain will be one of the hottest races that we've seen in a long time.
Tapping into the political zeitgeist, and springboarding off the success our first My ooVoo Day program, we're proud to announce My ooVoo Day With... Political Edition. (Y'all know that ooVoo is a crayon client, but in the interest of full disclosure I figured I'd mention it anyway.)
Beginning next week -- and running through early August -- ooVoo will enable a series of multi-person video chats, hosted by 25 or so political pundits, bloggers and online commentators..." (more....)
