Advance Internet's taken the problem that New Jersey's never really had a state-wide TV station (or newspaper, for that matter), and used v-logging and YouTube to address this issue with the just launched tv jersey, the user generated content and video version of nj.com (which jarvis, levitan and I launched in, geeze, 1996)
The site's got a cute call to action for NJ viewers to submit vlog posts for the best Valentine's day videos--which they will pick through and post. Poems, songs, sincere expressions of passion, bring'em all on.
Mindy MacAdams points out some cool things about this new little service:
- The videos are all YouTube encoded
- The site is built on Movable Type, a blogging platform that support easy posting, searching and categorization.
Susan sez: Nice to see some new things coming out of the Advance shop--it's been a while.

Thanks for the kind words, Susan. We're very excited about the whole thing, obviously, and I hope you'll swing by from time to time and let us know how we can improve things.
Cheers,
John (of the TVJersey crew)
