What Would You Like to Debate Today?

When we dreamed up Searchles TV, we had this pretty little picture of a video player that played bright and sunshine-y video clips back to back. Now that Searchles TV is all grown up, we find our users putting together channels with some pretty powerful political and cultural statements. Do we encourage this? Sure thing!

Hot topics to date: the War in Iraq, the upcoming US Presidential Election, political issues going on in the Middle East – ongoing conflict between Israeli & Palestine, women's rights, Anti or Pro-Bush Administration, debates about the Healthcare System in America (thanks to Michael Moore), so on and so forth. Some channels make the well-rounded statement - presenting both sides of a particular issue - while others fall strongly on one side or another. We also see many channels that play out a live concert of your favorite band - never hurts to jump-start the day with some live music.

The more dialogue, the more knowledge-exchange or debate, the more clips involving John Cleese, the better. I guess what we're trying to say is keep up the good work...and if you have something to say, make yourself heard! (read: Speak softly, but carry a big Searchles TV channel).
