		<description>Hey all, just a little note of update. 

1. The CBC did geo-block this program. I was in Cambridge,UK when they, where I submitted this from. 

2. They also dropped all of the entries from outside Canada off of their website map at some point - actually they made the map not able to navigate beyond Canada - which was pretty much a massive joke and contradiction from a country and government funded broadcaster that goes on at lengths about how every Canadian is from somewhere else and how we are not a melting pot like the US. Interesting...

3. The final CBC documentary was made up of 20% of UGC content. 20%! Is that joke! CBC produces an unoriginal idea (this was a bite off Ridely Scott&#039;s &quot;One Day on Earth&quot; which was a fully UGC produced documentary), they go on about how this is a UGC documentary by Canadians about Canadians and then they use UGC to fill 20% of their documentary. Shame my friends. Shame. They were obviously concerned that Canadians would ruin their reputation for producing high budgeted, perfectly shot, over produced, soulless programming. What a joke. Hey CBC, excellent example of leading the way there with cutting edge interactive programming that really celebrates the grass roots reality that social media is actually all about. Hmmm well I take solace in the fact that with a budget of hundreds of thousands of dollars later (all about productions values right), they still produced a dud.</description>

		<description>Hi Greg - thanks! Happy it resonated with you. Did you see the latest Pew Centre report: &quot;Social networking sites and our lives&quot; http://t.co/jSG2lLb I&#039;m still digesting all it says, but one of the results they surfaced is that &quot;Liking&quot; is the number one Facebook activity. Whatever the results mean research wise I&#039;m fundamentally awed that we&#039;ve been able to turn the non act of &quot;liking&quot; or &quot;to like&quot; into an activity. Amazing times, amazing possibilities but we still need to steer this ship.</description>

		<description>Thank you Deiren, for a beautiful song about a wonder-filled man.  It brought me back to some great young men who were blessed to have Roy as their Grampa.  You have a gift of putting words to feelings that not all of us are able to share...hope all is well and I&#039;m sure Roy and Annie are together and smiling.</description>

		<description>Thanks Laura...ya, I&#039;m looking forward to putting this together. I&#039;m sure the $ figure that will rack up will be impressive - let alone shedding some light on the ridiculous prevalence of this word.</description>

		<description>Thanks Massismo - ya I can understand your p.o.v...It&#039;s been wild to see Grandparents reactions though - even tech savvy one&#039;s - when we put Gaku in front of them. Obviously even more so with the Grandparents who are pre-booomer ie. aged 70 and up. We were constantly getting, &quot;so where can I get one and how much?&quot;  Would love to have been able to say &quot;Here, and it&#039;s only $$ :-)&quot;</description>

		<description>Nice idea and very nice video Deiren: I can see the simplicity of operation o Gaku although as a computer user for 3 decades I am obviously biased in my opinion and whether I would buy it.</description>
