Get your 15 minutes of fame..

I've been on local television a few times due to my local blog and once the blog was shown on Good Morning America, but I've never had the national type of 15 minutes of fame that anyone can get through YawpBox. The name sounds funny but the concept is an interesting one, in addition to being a social networking site, there is a television element through two hosts, Lex & Terry called, "YawpBox Tv". Every week there is a special challenge, like "show us your worst hair day" and people submit videos to whatever that challenge is.

The best, or in some cases the worst videos make it to the television segment part of the show hosted by Lex & Terry, giving these videographers there 15 minutes of national fame not only on television sets but the website as well. I'm just learning to use my digital camera to record press conferences, which may sound dull to some of you who are not political junkies, but for me, how many times can you be in a situation where a local elected official says the word "Peckerhead" on a video you recorded...That is memorable...

Lots of us love user generated content, it's why videos online have become so popular and in this situation, some one might come up with an extremely great idea for a show of their own. That's how most reality tv shows were created...the idea of one person...so head on over to YawpBox and have some fun watching and join in the challenges...
