By combining two things the Internet’s obsessed with (pretty girls and politics), creator Ben Relles launched one of the major icons of the 2008 presidential primary — albeit one without any particular agenda or platform.

These guys guessed right on a number of things, and then they did a great job of executing, expanding on what they were doing to create a business out of it but not straying from the original premise. My only complaint is that the nut of the idea is so shallow.
NewTeeVee’s latest project, launched in June 2008, is NewTeeVee Station, an editorially-driven guide to quality online video. Want to find something good to watch? Want to get the lowdown on something all the kids are talking about, like “Soulja Boy” or combining Mentos and Diet Coke? Want to meet the rising stars of the new age of television before they get huge? NewTeeVee Station is your cheat sheet, cataloging the world of web video with an engaging voice and a critical eye. It’s also a community site, giving you increased power to express what you like, what you don’t, and what else you want to watch.
