Global Poverty Session at Yearly Kos Convention
I’ve been playing with a new service called ustream. It is kind of like YouTube, but it is live streaming video. I figured out this morning that streams can be saved and replayed.
I missed the panel on Global Poverty with Susan McCue from ONE (formerly Harry Reid’s chief of staff) at the Yearly Kos Convention yesterday, but I found the archived stream from that session. Check it out.
The ONE Campaign had a kiosk at the YKSL site, according to a post on the ONE blog. I stopped by there this morning, but no one was there (probably because the main part of the conference ended last night). I didn’t realize that this part of the site had so many interesting vendors, I wish I had visited this area of the site during the conference.
Update: I have acquired a Second Life ONE Console (pictured below). If you want one, join the official ONE SL group – ONE Campaign – and IM ONE Binder requesting a ONE Console. The object contains ONE wristbands and ONE T-Shirts (See my avatar below decked out in ONE gear.)

To be fair, the ONE blog post never claimed the SL kiosk was manned. None of the kiosks were. They are automated.
Thanks for posting the video feed!
Alan,
You are absolutely correct. I have made some edits to the post to try to clarify what I was trying to say. Thank you for pointing that out to me. I did not intend for this post to be anything but positive with regard to the ONE Campaign and their presence at the conference. (I think I was just bummed cause I wanted a T-shirt and wristband
) I have since joined the ONE group in SL, and have contacted ONE Binder to see how I can participate in ONE activities in SL.
Take care & thanks for stopping by and commenting.

The Borgen Project is very similar to the ONE Campaign and worth checking out (www.borgenproject.org).
Lara – thanks for the tip. I had never heard of this initiative.
