On being.

On Being is a special human interest video series put out as part of The Washington Post's interactive efforts. While their awesome flash website affirms my belief that flash video will take over the world, they also offer an iTunes and RSS feed.

I really like this weekly video format of what could be a random person on the street style interview in the paper. I do wish the videos were better edited with cleaner titles (and didn't look like mac commercials) but overall really interesting and well shot.

Found this link via Social Media, a good blog for cultural media observation along with some how to's thrown in there now and again. It's good to see what other standard news sources are offering as supplemental media as my current job is to do sort of the same thing. Thought this also may spark some final project ideas. "On being" a Northeastern Student? We could even tie it into pulse point? Just and idea.

Having an onBeing for Northeastern is a really good idea. Theres no outlet for people to speak there minds out about the school and this could spark a lot of interest to speak out about our institution.
I think it could just be longer snippets from random interviews with students around campus. This is a nice concept.
