Friction.tv

If the blogosphere has made one point abundantly clear, it’s that everyone has an opinion. Blogs give  ordinary citizens a platform for written expression (and occasional delusions of grandeur). Now comes the video version with Friction.tv:

Friction.tv is an online platform for user generated news and opinion.
We exist to give you the opportunity to air your views and respond to
the opinions of others. You can debate issues of local interest to you
or discuss points of global importance. Either way, Friction.tv will
provide an interesting and stimulating alternative to the sanitised,
agenda driven mediocrity of the conventional mass media.

Like Justin.tv, Kyte.tv, Stickam Lounge and Splashcast, the site is another example of lifecasting (i.e. streaming your life in real time online). We agree that video is the future of web content, but will people voluntarily tune in to see Nancy Grace wannabes on their digital soapboxes?
