Catching up to the last several years of web innovation, I’ve enabled ‘media’ clips as evidence in the citation and quote database. I’ve added two examples already to test this out (click on the ‘1 Reference’ link in either one):

Gore, Al. “Remarks at Wirefly X Prize Executive Summit.” Popular Science October 20, 2006. [ 1 reference ]

Tkacik, John J. and John Pike. “Situation Room: January 19, 2007.” CNN
January 19, 2007 - 19:00 ET. [ 1 reference ]

I like the idea of using a video clip to further one’s argument, it opens up the possibility of using other forms of media including images and podcasts. I’m still working on how this will integrate with the rest of the resources (not sure if this should be cluttering up the bibliography page) and will probably setup a special ‘media room’ for media enabled resources.

I also did not start working on this with the space weapons topic in mind, this was one of the ideas I’ve been working on to prepare the system for new and bigger topics (ex. my target topics, Global Warming and Iran). I was pleasantly surprised while searching for test material at the number of videos currently up on youtube related to space weapons and will work on integrating the best of these. Anyone that would like to help sift through these for key interviews or quotes, let me know.
