The exciting thing about the MobLogic format is that it's evolving right now. We are listening. What do we need to do more of? What do you want to see less of? Let us know. We're lucky, good stories come at us everyday, but the way we tell them to you is part of figuring out the lightning in a bottle that makes good web video sizzle!

The big video is great, Lindsey likewise. Now the downside: the content so far is not what I feel I should send to my friends. Not even what I feel I should subscribe to. Chavez was OK as a zero video but Sarkozy was a tiring copy of Chavez. The 'ask the people in the street' recipe also gets tired and I am simply NOT interested in 5-10-20 superficial remarks made on the street, sorry if I am harsh. I hope you really build up the content and give it more depth, more angles, more humor (I especially liked the photo montage contrasting/ underlining what Lindsey was talking about on Wallstrip), more edge, etc. On the more personal side, I don't like when comments are put behind the screen and they are not instantly visible. Luckily the orange part can be hidden on the screen if you scroll down. Yeah, I am disappointed.

Looking good. I'm spreading the word. Very brave of you to keep the racy comments Lindsay gets in the video. Entertaining. Can't wait to see where this goes, even if it centers only on New York. Nice touch with the Hulu style video page. I may have to visit the site everyday, rather than download the podcast. Smart choice.

IMHO, best news show ever was CBC's This Hour Has Seven Days. When it was appropriate they didn't take things too seriously but when it was, they weren't afraid to get emotional. One of the anchors was fired for shedding a single tear over a minor sentenced to death. You need to be like that.

Lairor, Really appreciate your thoughtful response. I hope CBS is less strict on their hosts about tears. I think I shedded a tear thinking about the CBC reporter getting fired for shedding a tear. Thanks again! LC

Also, and this is something I liked about Wallstrip too, any news show where there's a chance the anchor might personally respond to you is pretty awesome (especially if the anchor is also awesome). That doesn't happen often on major news networks.
Lairor

Just to clarify myself, I think it's GOOD to be able to show emotion when appropriate.

The site is pure eye candy, love the extra large video. After looking around the only thing I don't like is that most of the content as of now consists of "man on the street" interviews. I just don't think they really bring anything of substance and too many times they degenerate to Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" (ie People say really ignorant/misinformed things, we all supposedly laugh). Hope that wasn't too harsh.
A great start for Moblogic.

Everything looks great, but I wish the video didn't play automatically. I've looked now at most of the other videos on the site, and I agree with PandaBearnake. I'm fearful that the show will be dominated by Man on the Street clips. They're too short on information to bring me back with consistency. You guys do a fantastic job editing the clips together into a cohesive stream, but the original material too often lacks in depth for any substantive analysis. I preferred things like the delegate analysis video. I'm a big wallstrip fan, and an even bigger Lindsay fan...so I don't mean to sound like I'm poo-pooing anything yet. I'll be back to watch more and more....I just thought some initial impressions would be valuable to you. Trying to be constructively critical. Look forward to seeing more!

Big fan of the large video and the site design.
You guys sure threw a lot of jabs to start, "Sympathy for the Devil" just happens to be playing as part of your CBS nod and you were subversive enough to put Viacom and MTV logos juxtaposed against the ABC logo. Cheers. Looking forward to seeing where all of this goes, and congrats on an awesome launch!

Thanks for the helpful comments so far. We appreciate the positives and the negatives. Part of what we're trying to do with MobLogic is take the on-the-street recipe, which we agree can get tired, and turn it on it's head: finding in-depth conversations where you least expect them.
We're working on figuring that out - and we're going to need your help to do it... the show will be shaped by you telling us what you like and what you don't. You'll also see plenty of info-packed studio shows, humor and parodies... all the things that Lindsay does so well!

Not sure this is up Lindsay's alley, but I expect a lot of the underside of America to come out, racism, sexism especially. Would love to see some of Lindsay responding to this, or discussing how objectification impacts the news, entertainment, etc.
Hope you're planning to really turn things on their head, not just the format, but the content, and the way anchors can interact with their subjects and audience. Also, if you get to interviewing fancy people, please give them hard questions. For example, Jon Stewart interviews people like Madeleine Albright and fails to raise the hard issues, not just "do you think you were right to support the sanctions," but, "do you think you were right to advise against intervention in Rwanda."
The news and "not the news" as the Daily Show is, have a short attention span, need to look at things longer, I hope you'll bring research, context, and insight to the format. Looking forward to it!
(maybe we can Mob something for you from Baghdad or Mexico...maybe even Syria!)

so far you have a few segments and in one you have a guy flipping off the camera and then in another there's a photo of a five year old kid in an Ohio State jersey giving someone the finger that's immediately followed by Lindsay's commentary of "that sucks for.."
dumbing it down and cheap laughs.

This show doesn't work.
You're trying to jump from a niche audience to a general audience and not quite making it.
Whereas the fun of wallstrip was about watching Lindsay and co. use stocks to riff on, say, the Illuminati, now you're stepping into territory that is much more hotly contested, particularly by the Daily Show.
You can't simply walk around doing man-on-the-street interviews, asking "so how bout them delegates?" This feels like amateur Jay Leno stuff. It's non-specific, and therefore not entertaining. Lindsay's charm will only carry you so far.
The internet is not about reaching a broad, general audience. You still have to find a distinct identity and audience for the show. Your audience is already used to much smarter material than this. To try to go after a "general" audience for a web-based political show is a big mistake.
My advice would be to do what you did with Wallstrip -- don't try to reach a broad audience. You should be trying to find the stories that the Daily Show, etc. are missing, and then riff on them.
You have to go smarter -- much smarter. You also need a point of view -- sardonic, controversial, cynical, contrarian, irreverent, whatever. You need at least one smart, politically savvy writer.
It usually takes a while for a show to find its true identity. Let's hope you guys find yours.
Good luck.

Don't be afraid to get wonky. Your core audience will probably be political junkies. You can go a little more inside baseball than a TV show.
Have great interviews with insiders, journalists -- Paul Krugman, etc.
Look at what worked on wallstrip -- particularly the fake Steve Jobs, etc.
Bring in some smart commentators, and let them use MobLogic as a soapbox.
You may have to expand your cast beyond Lindsay.
Constantly attack the conventional wisdom.
Use man-on-the-street only as intercut material.
Advance a point of view, even if it's from a devil's-advocate viewpoint (the Rutgers thing was a good example of this).
Don't work off the day's headlines -- these things go stale quickly and you will get beat by the Daily Show.
Instead, perhaps you should emulate "This American Life" and choose themes -- "Guns", say, or "Disaster". These will have a much longer shelf life.

hey speedlet, why are you anonymous? you have some great ideas and I'm really curious to know who you are because you're obviously VERY familiar with our work. regardless of your identity though, i really appreciate the time you took here and the thoughtfulness of your critique. we've planned to do many of the things you outline and agree with your first comment that all good shows take a bit to settle into their own authentic voice. hope you're patient enough to see us get there. :)

jvon

Gotta throw in my two cents here. Someone mentioned up above that they don't think this show can work because of the existence of the Daily Show. Two points I'd like to make on that.
1) This is the web. The Daily Show is on TV. Completely different format.
2) The Daily Show caters a very specific type of political "humor", which as far as I can tell revolves around calling George W. Bush an idiot again and again. Those of us who suspect, as I do, that GWB is actually quite a bit smarter than Jon Stewart is, get tired of this quickly.
I don't think that this show is going for the same audience as he is. I certianly hope not, because I'm not in it.

Linds, it's so nice to see you on the web again and not have to watch the commercials for your pearly whites :>) I've been eagerly awaiting MobLogic and I'll be watching every day. In contrast with Pandabear and Speedlet's comments, I really enjoy the "man on the streets" interviews. I like the interactions with random people and I especially enjoy seeing your personality come through. You've got a great sense of humor and your zest for life really shows. Love it all!
