		<description>Add them to the deadpool. They've been at this for years. How much revenue are they doing? My guess is that it's a lot smaller than most may think.</description>

		<description>JosefVirek: I'm wondering why you think it won't scale. They're using generic video ads as templates and it's simple matter to modify a few frames for each customer. Since the ads will be run on local TV, there shouldn't be any worry that someone will see the same ad template for different candidates. From a financials standpoint, compared to the thousands of dollars normally spent to create and place a video spot on TV, $500 seems like a bargain.

If anything, the challenge will be to get the local politicians to take notice and give it a shot. The voter media map was a good idea - anything to help the campaign managers feel confident about how they spend campaign money will give a lot more credibility.

		<description>facebook chat is here, seconds ago i noticed a link saying 'open facebook chat' on the top menu, between inbox and home links, the link was not live and had this misfit into the menu, when i refreshed the page it disappeared.
it has this little sign in front of it, like two squares one behind the other, one blue one gray i guess:)
i think chat will be live in few hours</description>

		<description>I need a shower after watching that...pathetic. I hope SpotRunner flames out. What a waste of time. What's next? Improving the quality of city council meetings? Please Google...just bury this medium.</description>

		<description>Do they have a template for a politician that landed in Bosnia and had to courageously dodge sniper fire? That would be really useful.

Also, does SpotRunner take credit cards? I'm a little short on cash right now.</description>
