Voice Report from markmayhew

"Hi. This is Mark Mayhew in Galveston. I haven't done a voice report in a while, because I got frustrated. A couple of them got 8. So I'm going to see if it works this time. I wanted to do a voice report on a crowd funding. I've learned a lot last week about crowd funding with the launch of Spot.US. It's a crowd funded site, and I can't find many example of crowd funding on the internet. There are few, but I wanted to... I think crowd funding is going to be really big. Obviously, Barack Obama was a crowd funded politician and Anna Marie Cox, she was a crowd funded reporter when her newspaper went under as she was in the middle of covering McCain's campaign, and there's a guy that runs (Wars Boring?) that time. He's over in Afghanistan and he's crowd funded, and of course, I'm crowd funded in Galveston, but I think it has a potential to be huge in there. There must be millions of citizen journalists and you figure maybe half of them prefer to quit their day jobs and be crowd funded. So I'm just curious if you think crowd funding will be really big. 'cause right now it's not. I wanted to test and see if this is working. I hope it is, and I'd be reporting again from Galveston. I haven't done this in a while. All right. That's the voice report. Okay. Bye. "
