Podtech network awarded 'alive in Baghdad' with six awards for the best video blog. Alive in Baghdad was created by American and Iraqi news correspondents to show interviews with Iraqis on daily live issues. Many many bloggers and vloggers reported the evening. Valleywag, the tech gossip rag reported: 'Alive in Baghdad demonstrates the capacity for internet videos to go beyond entertainment into true journalistic inquiry. In honor of its win, the Intel Corporation presented vlogger Brian Conley with a scant $2,000. It was enough to fund one Intel Core2Duo laptop, true, but the ridiculous size of the novelty check made the donation look meager in comparison. Given the state of the Iraqi power supply, I hope that Intel can cough up, at the very least, a solar battery charger and satellite internet connection, and throw in a couple flak jackets for the journalists.
