Keep It Current

Al Gore's user generated TV channel, Current, has experienced steady growth over the last few years. In addition to viewing this through your cable provider, the Current Web site is a popular online destination. Current was extremely active during the election and even constructed a pop up retail store here in Manchester. They also threw a party the night before the NH primary that remains one of the best bar events I've attended here in town.
Tonight at 10pm on Current TV (and Current.com) Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg, will interview Al Gore. All of the questions were submitted through the Web by everyday folks like Joe the Blogger. I'm sure we can expect a number of questions related to how the new administration will prioritize the environment.
Kevin also happens to be the poster child for Web 2.0 which should make for an interesting dialogue. I noticed today that Al joined the popular micro blogging site Twitter so hopefully we'll learn more about what prompted him to make that move. It's only a matter of time before more public figures and celebrities begin to use the service, but I think it's safe to say he's still an early adopter.
