As the Founder/Intitiator of the Non-for-Profit Organization for Asia Pacific to promote eCommerce & eBusiness. Since Gore is the Patron of the organization. I invited him to inaugurate the Corporation Openning in Singapore. He did not respond, not even given a written citation. At least his Boss Bill Clinton did send a letter of Commemorating the Occassion.
In fact, I am on the honorary position in the mentioned organization. Devote my time & resources to promote the Leadership of the eEconomy.
Now, Al Gore is the Chairman of the "Current" channel & the
Giant of Search Engine
partnership, & their foundation of success is laid.
My opinion's about these TV network should be of Righteous Spirits, the views must be impartial; take no bias on any side. Politics is a
Believe;
Religion;
Dream;
& Most importantly is Power!!
It is hard to believe that A person so much into his believe can give a impartial views in his daily life. Even in reality he would remind himself that he shpould be impartial. But as he is still in the infleuncial role in his respective political party. His soul & his sub-conscious mind would not allow him to do so to against his party or his religion.
My suggestion is that Google would have to enlarge the partnership with other political parties in these country so as to get the equal representations in running the "Current" Channel as an impartial TV network & service to the people between the age group of 18-34!!!!!. Not to Mis-Lead!!
Gore TV Network to Launch in August, Google Tie-In
Mon Apr 4, 5:31 PM ET By Jeremy Pelofsky
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore on Monday unveiled his new television network, "Current," which aims to attract younger viewers with short videos and a tie-in with the popular Google Inc. search engine.
The network plans to debut on Aug. 1 and be available to 19 million subscription television viewers, Gore said at a news conference at the cable industry's annual convention. Gore led an investment group that last May bought the network from Vivendi Universal for an undisclosed sum.
The channel will show professionally produced segments as well as viewer-produced videos mostly short in length, running from a few seconds to up to 15 minutes.
"We are about empowering this generation of young people in their 20s, the 18-34 population, to engage in a dialogue of democracy and to tell their stories about what's going in their lives in the dominant media of our time," he said.
Viewers will also be able to vote for their favorite videos and get tutorials via the Internet on how to produce their own segments, according to network officials.
"We're starting something new and we're trying to bring about a change in the way the television medium is used," said Gore. "We know it's hard, but we're excited about trying."
In addition to the videos, the new network reached a pact with the search firm to include Google data on the most popular Web searches.
The deal came despite early skepticism from Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, the No. 1 Web search engine that earlier this year stepped into the realm of entertainment by releasing a test video search service that pulls up still shots from such content providers as Fox News, PBS and the NBA.
When first approached, "I thought it would be an extraordinarily challenging endeavor," Brin said. "Having seen some of the work they've now put together, I think it's an extraordinary opportunity."
Google did not disclose the terms of the deal. Brin said the company is providing specialized data from its Zeitgeist service, which tracks search patterns and trends.
Gore, who lost the 2000 election in a bitter contest with current President Bush, seemed to have put politics behind him, insisting the channel would not be a liberal pulpit.
"We have no intention of being a Democratic channel, a liberal channel, or a TV version of Air America, that's not what we're all about," he said, referring to the liberal radio network.
Gore serves as chairman of the board of that channel.
The network said its financial backers included Rob Glaser, chief executive of RealNetworks Inc., Bob Pittman who helped create the popular MTV networks and Joel Hyatt, who is chief executive of the network and built a network of legal services clinics.
Network officials said they were trying to expand the viewer base, but acknowledged that lining up more cable systems was not easy.
So far, they have agreements involving DirecTV's "Total Choice" tier, as well as in certain markets operated by Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Inc. .
