We received the following from N.Z. Bear, of The Truth Laid Bear, and Kithbridge:

…BlogWorldExpo is at the end of next week in Las Vegas. You should be there! If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time, so get on it.

Next, 10Questions.com. This is a truly unique effort to use the power of the Internet and new media to allow normal folks to submit and vote on questions to be asked of all the Presidential candidates. Here’s the summary from their ‘how this works’ page:

The 10Questions Presidential Forum is divided into two rounds. During the first round, which will run from October 17 to November 14, anyone with access to YouTube, MySpace Yahoo Video, or Blip.tv can submit a video question. To enter, upload your video question to one of these sites and tag it “10questions.” Be sure to give it a descriptive title so others can find it. And if you want, add additional tags that describe it further.

During round one, videos bearing the tag “10questions” will be collected on the main page where anyone can vote for or against them. At the close of round one, there will be an audit of the top vote-getters, after which the top ten videos will be presented to the candidates.

During round two, which will begin November 17 and end December 31, the candidates will be asked to post their replies to the top ten questions, and you get to vote on their replies. The candidates will have until December 15 to post their answers; you’ll have until December 31 to vote on them. At the end of this round, we will audit the ratings and announce the final results.

The best part about this is it is a truly cross-partisan effort. Sponsors range from Hugh Hewitt to MyDD to The Huffington Post and back to Michelle Malkin. It’s a Who’s Who of big names from both the left and right sides of the blogosphere (and oh, yeah, me) — and I think it could be a great success.

So head over there and submit a question or vote on someone else’s. And I hope I’ll see you in Vegas next week!
