A TV Democracy: Turning The Tube Into YouTube

Thumbnail image for saysme.jpg

Launching appropriately during the heat of the 2008 elections, SaysMe.TV allows individuals to create their own TV commercials about the cause of their choice. The big draw is that for as little as $6, users can pay to have their video or a pre-existing video trafficked on cable TV in their area and have their name appear at the end. Of course, it has to be up to specs and meet FCC guidelines for content.

Still this is a great example of the democratization of television and use a traditional media in a way that we have almost taken for granted with social media sites like YouTube... as the site puts it, "Says Me is a vehicle for your passions, beliefs, grievances, causes, events, and ideas. Use it to make your voice count."
