Red Alert is entering the New Zealand Internet Industry Awards 2010.
As part of our entry we’re doing a little video clip about why we blog.
We’d love you to participate in our entry by taking a short video clip of yourself and saying what you think about us (Red Alert that is) and why you comment.
Just a couple of sentences.
You could put the clip up on You Tube and either link to it on a comment or send to me directly clare.curran@parliament.govt.nz
We know that many of you don’t want to reveal your identity. That’s fine. Just use your cat or a sock puppet with a voice over.
We’d love to hear from you and unless you are rude or offensive, we’ll use what you say.
Clare
PS: Deadline is Monday afternoon. 3pm. Dare you
I’ll put a face on a potato and distort my voice!
What’s the deadline?
I wanna out a suggestion to the mods, Richard the first was unhappy because someone new came into a thread with his name and that person could be mistaken for him. Perhaps we could have a rule that goes: First cometh first dibbest on thy names?
Anyone new could put a number after their name or choose a new one. What do people think?
Here’s what I think of you:
A damn fine bunch of MPs
this is a great idea! commend
@ Spudster I think you are going to have to go first mate. Otherwise no-one else will be brave enuf!
I’ll be brave and go first!
Here’s my (very) short clip – just a five-second sentence
Sorry I forgot to say why I comment but I don’t want to go through uploading another one to youtube haha. Hopefully this can fit in somewhere.

I would love to but I have no idea how to make a video….especially re voice overs etc. I have a Mac & it all looks tricky. I could make one on our compact camera but then I have no idea how to edit it…..!
Sorry, Clare, I had to get an early night.
@Nicola – nice video
@Becks – You probably have imovie – you can upload stuff into there and edit. If you have kids they can help you
Or get a nerdy techie to help.
I’m busy today and tonight – is tomorrow too late to add a clip?
Just saw the deadline
!
I have a raging cold. I would love to comment but the video option is out
“Red Alert actually makes me feel like I am participating in our democracy. A chance to understand where people from all over the political spectrum are coming from and having interaction with real MPs. I always believed in democracy and that politics is everyone’s business. Red Alert makes me feel that way aagin. “
Don’t have anything I can record with clare.
Now why did that end up in moderation?
Aw, A Mother
What you need to do is find a CCTV camera, hold up some signs and then bug the owner for the footage
A Mother – sometimes if you use the names of MPs you seem to get sent to moderation as a matter of course.
Lol. thats funny.
I hope a few people send some in C lare.
@Rebecca.
According to this letter, NZ includes everyone in the tests while overseas they don’t.

opps wrong thread. Sorry (would do an embarrassed face like spud does but don’t know how)
Have you had many entries Clare?
A Mother:
I think its : with oops in the middle followed by another :
@A Mother – You have nothing to be embarrassed about!
The faces all have word command versions e.g. : neutral : =
: oops : =
: evil : =
But no face on Red Alert compares to you.
You charmer!
Haven’t had many, would like some more. Doesn’t matter whether you like what we say or not. Want to know what you think about Red Alert. Visually. Doesn’t have to be your face though.
I’m sorry Clare, I’m not going to make the deadline,
