Yahoo unmashes "mash up"

One wonders if it can really even be called a "mashup" anymore given this:

Yahoo's Democratic debate later this week has been billed as "the first-ever online-only presidential mashup." But on the eve of the debate, Yahoo has decided not to support citizen remixing of the footage -- reducing the once-bold experiment to little more than a fancy online version of an on-demand cable television offering.


Despite the claims this will be something new, the reality is with the changes it won't and thus I predict it will not attract the young voters, it will bore them. Given the talent of most of our young internet generation, they would most likely be able to run circles around what limited video Yahoo is going to share...

How many remixes of a bunch of Democrats making promises to expand handouts can be made?
