Theoritically, it's a good idea. Content is king and allowing more people to supply that content should improve the choice of quality. However, it is still -one- channel and -one- channel only. There is nothing extraordinary about the network nor is there any real chance it will succeed in its current form. It's not going to give a voice to everybody, rather just highlight the select few that garner the most advertising revenue.

The Google connection is superficially good, but I'm not sure I want my TV news based on what people search on Google.

An ABC article says: "Sergey Brin, the 31-year old co-founder of Google, praised the channel as an effective way to distribute video in a way that frees it from the limited bandwidth and other technological challenges that has kept it from being widely available on the Web."

Eureka! What a great discovery...spend $70 million on an old dinosaur of a TV network, trick the public into producing the content and claim revolution! What will Al Gore think of next? He's clearly the greatest innovator ever.
