The neddotcom channel on YouTube is uploading and hosting the 10 days of i-ACT3 videos and doing whatever possible to get people to view them.
Darfur/Stop Genocide Now: i-ACT 7/10-7/20
For the third time in three years Gabriel Stauring will be visiting the refugee camps in Chad on the border of the Sudan next to the Darfur area. During this dangerous time when many NPO and NGO's are leaving the area Gabriel, Yuen-Lin Tan, and Connie will be providing citizen journalism, on the ground for 10 days in the refugee camps of Chad.
Follow Gabriel, Connie, and Yuen Lin between July 10th and July 20th through the refugee camps, meet the aid workers and see the conditions first hand. You can view the web-cast videos uploaded via satellite phone from Chad and take action on the daily action items which help offer 10 concrete things YOU can do to help end the atrocities and genocide in Darfur.
There will be ten actions and ten short (5-10 minute) videos from July 10th thru the 20th. We'd like to get these videos seem by as many people as possible knowing that if the videos are seem 250,000 times that might equate to 25,000 real actions being taken to stop the genocide in Darfur.
Here's a video from the previous i-ACT Day 9: Save the Children of Darfur

If you know of a web site that might like to host and feature these new 10 videos between 7/10-7/20 please send me a message with any pertinent details.
The more people that see the videos, the more actions taken.
The more actions taken, the more progress towards ending genocide in Darfur.
Please note, this is about getting these videos seen and taking action...not raising money...period.
Please help these new videos get seen and introduce heavily trafficked web sites to this idea.
Thank you

Considering the response I have gotten here when I have told stories of Uganda and Darfur, I would love to post this on our wiki (I think I can do it .. will check) BUT YouTube is blocked in Thailand. :-(
It is supposed to end soon. Will keep you informed.

frerieke, every place that runs it helps, every voice is important. Thank you.
Linda, I'm going to be uploading to Live Video and 1-2 more video hosting environments...I'll let you know when they're uploaded and perhaps you can test from there to see if they work. Thnx.

I can see it there and I have links to it there. The problem I have is figuring out how to embed the video into the wiki. I am working on it :-)

Excellent!!! I can view the one a couple of comments up but not the auto play, it appears as an empty comment box. Wonderful to see Gabriel again! and also Connie and Yuen-Lin. Wish they didn't have to be there :(
My internet connection is a bit wonky, may be the fallout of last nights events on SaltSpring Island

Yeah, I wish they didn't have to be there too. I simply cannot fathom this is i-ACT3.

Met Darius via connection at a Wiser Earth event (in essence). His site gets over one million visitors per month...

There are two sites onboard a blog and a bigger design site to promote the i-ACT videos. The design site gets over a million visitors a month, so that could generate some good numbers (views turning into actions). You never know for sure.
Also have an introduction into someone interesting to speak with at the BBC.
Goal for the last i-ACT thru now was 25,000 views and we ended up with 61,000. Not bad, but not huge.
I'd love to get 250,000 video views between now and the end of August. If you know anyone, anyone at all that has a web site (with any amount of visitors) that would consider embedding this content...please give a shout out here. Personal introductions please. Thnx.
