A note from Fred Thompson's modern media guru, Sean Hackbarth, alerts us to their latest UGC campaign, Be A Star.

It's not as rad as 10Q but more after the hop...

Minutes after the Democratic YouTube/CNN debate in Charleston, S.C., I reacted to the debate for TechPresidentTV saying, "I don't think we're ever going to see another debate without a YouTube component in some way. And what I mean by that of course is user-generated content."

This Sunday's Republican debate in Iowa sponsored by ABC News and hosted by former Clinton press flack and fellow Ohioan, George Stephanopoulos, is the first debate, post-YouTube debate.

And, surprising to no one who reads this space closely, there's a user-generated component (UGC).
