The Web on the Candidates

Last night YouTube launched a new feature called "Spotlight." Each week, a different candidate will be in the "spotlight" on YouTube, putting up a video and asking for video responses from the YouTube community. Viewers will have one week to upload their responses, and at the end of the week the candidate will upload another video reflecting on those responses. As Jeff Jarvis notes, this is basically a mirror image of his PrezConference project, which asks citizens to upload videos first, and for candidates to respond. The first candidate to participate is Mitt Romney, who asks the not-so-substantive question "what do you believe is America's single greatest challenge, and what would you do to address it?"
