Theofanis D. Lekkas<\/strong>, a longtime Zenpundit<\/strong> <\/em>reader who comments here\u00a0occasionally under the handle “TDL<\/strong>“, is in the process of launching a fantastic Web 2.0 start-up, RealScoop.com<\/strong><\/a>, currently in Beta. In a nutshell, it’s a mediacentric Youtube <\/strong>mashed up with a voice-stress analyzer lie detector. Any celebrities or politicians you love, hate or love to hate ?\u00a0 See what topics send them off the Richter Scale.\u00a0 A few examples:<\/p>\n

Senator Barack Obama<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vice President Dick Cheney<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Former Governor Eliot Spitzer<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

And on a lighter note, Tom Cruise<\/strong> on a deranged rant about psychiatry<\/p>\n

This is all in good fun and I wish Theo every success with RealScoop.com<\/strong> but there are interesting implications if this platform were to become as ubiquitous as is youtube or yahoo. Imagine, being a politician or public spokesman and knowing that\u00a0your every word simply isn’t going to be parsed but run through a voice stress analyzer and transformed into a virally formatted visual clip. How would that change your media strategy ? Your deposition strategy? Being a laconic, strong, silent type might actually come back into style.<\/p>\n
