Garry Wise, a Toronto lawyer, launched a law blog aggregator recently.  Omar covered the move on Slaw, noting similar developments in the PR field recently.

The best part about it was the video prominently featured on the launch page.

Garry was kind enough to say earlier this year that Omar would be an asset to any law firm he joined.

The video from the Progressive Bloggers Meetup has been posted by Garry Wise.

The video features Deb Prothero of Seeing Red in Southwest, Omar Ha-Redeye of Law is Cool and Slaw, and Jennifer Smith of Runesmith’s Canadian Content.

The topic of the interviews was the impending election in the U.S.  Everyone interviewed supported Obama of course.

Earlier today Omar Ha-Redeye attended a gathering of Progressive Bloggers at the home of Vijay Sappani in a Toronto suburb.  They discussed the upcoming Federal election, and the role of blogs as a communication tool.

Omar Ha-Redeye was interviewed by CBC television, who attended the event.  He described his formal education in online communication through Centennial College, and some of his reasons for founding Law is Cool and joining Slaw.  He told viewers how they could easily create their own blogs for free on sites like Blogger, Live Journal, and Word Press.

He also defined some basic online technology terms like blog, Google, Twitter, Wikipedia, and Flickr.  The footage will be used on The National and Susan Ormiston Online in the Blog Buzz segment to help the general public understand these ideas and sites as they come up during the election.
