Garry Kasparov Speaks Freely Live on blogTV

The legendary former chess world champion decided that using open internet technologies is the best way to conquer Russian censorship, allowing him to speak his mind openly on TV. BlogTV, the television of the future - one that allows the viewers to interact with the host and to ask him any question - is the media Kasparov chose in order to reach a young audience.

BlogTV is a LIVE social broadcasting network that has recently expanded to the Russian internet after engaging in cooperation with the world wide IM client ICQ. The live streaming platform enables anyone with a webcam and computer to not only create their own live TV shows but to also interact with their live audience. Guy Eliav, CEO of blogTV said "The key to the success of a platform like blogTV is entertaining and informative user generated content. The performance of Garry Kasparov on our platform only proves that even first line celebrities may feel the need to use a method which allows them to communicate directly with their audience - an opportunity that blog TV gives to everyone."
