Oh man, that is beautiful.

And it raises an interesting possibility.
If dashcams become so ubiquitous in other parts of the world, you have the possibility for a video aggregating website that allows us to hashtag uploaded video recorded events based on gps location data, time/date or something else common between these devices. This would allow any event with more than one video observer to be easily searched, downloaded and edited by the general public in the manner you envision. Imagine the impact to social or political movements, entertainment events and other creative uses that can't even be imagined.

Obviously, this raises privacy concerns...but that's a healthy debate that we're ready for.

A note from the inside:

Things are hot here right now (and dry), even above the Tropic of Capricorn. The PRI (right-wing) candidate, E. Peña Nieto (EPN) is accused of buying his way into the presidency, from rigging opinion polls to bribing or wielding union and corporate power to setting up twitter bot squads trying to manipulate public opinion. A huge EPN advertising presence clearly over the allowed campaign budget is visible as you travel the country.

But people aren´t having any of it and are fighting back, making sure their voices are heard. A video surfaced after EPN visited a prestigious university in Mexico City where he was shouted off campus, where 131 students state they are not paid to voice their opinions from other parties.

The surge of the #Iam132 (#YoSoy132) hashtag and subsequent movement with Worldwide TT rings a-partisan and mostly just anti-EPN and anti-PRI with their corrupt antics. Weekly protests and artistic gatherings are gaining momentum.

A 4th far-right independent party with libertarian views has surged as well, also backed by powerful unions particularly from the social workers and teacher´s unions, they are double-faced and dodgy as hell. Although Mr Quadri is a scholar and has intelligent views, he is very similar to Ron Paul and his view on drugs.

The left-wing candidate AMLO, who claims the current throne and accuses Calderon of election fraud in 2006, will probably win. He has not stated publicly that he will legalize drugs, although he says that if the people can reach more consensus on the issue, that he would go ahead with it, regardless of what the US might think.

Many are optimistic, as I.

from stranger blog....

"How dare these liberal movies attack the oil industry, and promote sharing? This afternoon, the Twitter hashtag #GOPMuppethearings has blown up, with Twitter users imagining what a Republican-run congressional committee would ask of the Muppets. "

1. "...no, 'C' is actually for 'communist,' sir. And I assure you that's not good enough for this committee."

2. "Mr. Gonzo, please produce your birth certificate."

3. "Mr. Bert what *is* your relationship with Mr. Ernie?"

4. "Well, the Rainbow Connection certainly sounds like a part of the radical homosexual agenda to me."

5. “Is it your contention, Mr Elmo, that your Communist Red fur is purely coincidental?"

also, probably not the best example as most people seem to dislike the site but i didn't realise for a long time that you could click on 'replies' on twitter and see people responding to you. when i found the button i sat there on my own and literally blushed.
you should start a seperate talk post, get some confessions from people.


Also don't forget hashtags and doing twitter searches. Else you miss out on liveblogging and group conversations. Twitter is great, needs alot of development mind but it's still great.
