Travel Channel has embarked on its journey to select five TJs to participate in the next season of this international series. Those chosen will visit major cities on a 13 week tour for the television series 5 TAKES, which has revolutionized internet/television interaction in real time. Viewers influence their journey by deciding what the TJs do via the Travel Channel web site, and the TJs will document their first-hand experience with video logs (vlogs) and web logs (blogs) while interacting with viewers real-time via the Travel Channel message boards.

The Travel Channel is looking for a group of impassioned 20-somethings to travel the world and chronicle their experiences along the way. The network encourages those with a sense of adventure to log on to the Travel Channel's website from through December 31, 2005 at http://travel.discovery.com/videogalleries/upload/index.html and upload their own vlogs and blogs for consideration by network executives. This is the first Discovery Communications, Inc. program to accept user generated content over the web.

"Let me just explain it this way: Every webpage will become a television station," he said. "Think of the webpage as a video magazine. ... In a few years, if people open the page and see words and data, they might change the channel on you."

• Road Trips: Fun vacation moments.
• Office Humor: Pranks, skits, and other office hijinks.

2. Semi-finalists announced on August 30

Many of the vlogs have a home-grown, experimental feel. People capture moments in their everyday lives. Some post cooking lessons, short films or videos of local festivals or family events like graduations. One of the best-known video blogs is Rocketboom, which puts together an irreverent daily news program.

Politicians are also wading in the video-blogging waters. North Carolina Sen. John Edwards is receiving and responding to questions using video. Boston City Councilor John Tobin has a video blog as well.

Clint Sharp, a vlogger who publishes a weekly tech show, said "the potential for everyone to self-publish has the ability to revolutionize the world" by sharing video across cultures and countries.

Battlestar Galactica executive producer David Eick will offer viewers an exclusive look behind-the-scenes of one of television's hottest new shows. Fresh three-five minute video blogs will be posted every few weeks. They will give fans never before seen insights into the production of the hit show including candid moments with the series' stars. Visitors will be able to sit in on script meetings with writers and producers and meet other members of the crew and special effects team.
