The Conservative Party is launching a branded online TV channel via Friction TV.
Unlike WebCameron, using Friction TV means that users can post up their own video responses, and because it's a third party site it means content is controlled under the providers terms. Apparently there will be two videos each week posted on the channel. - I'm not 100% sure how this differs from YouTube's model other than maybe the distinct branding partnerships.
I imagine for many this will mark another step into using the Internet for politics, however, I personally think that being online is not where the trick is being missed. What needs to happen really is more effective use of private internetworks to mobilse and organise.
The first two videos are here and here, and there is another one here.

I love it! on the day that Sunny Hundal laments in the guardian the left's absence on the internet and plugs his liberal conspiracy site...the tories leap ahead again and launch another video site.

Obviously a typo, it should, of course, read Fiction TV...
