      <title>Launched: A REAL Solutions Media Hub for CUNA's GAC '08</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We launched a micro-site for the &lt;a href="http://realsolutions.coop/"&gt;National Credit Union Foundation&amp;#8217;s &lt;span class="caps"&gt;REAL&lt;/span&gt; Solutions&lt;/a&gt; last week. The site is a media dashboard where we&amp;#8217;re covering &lt;a href="http://gac.cuna.org"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;CUNA&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217;s Governmental Affairs Conference&lt;/a&gt; through video and audio interviews with industry thought leaders, photos, and microblogging.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://www.realsolutions.coop"&gt;the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;REAL&lt;/span&gt; Solutions &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GAC&lt;/span&gt; site here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;We used &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt; for video, &lt;a href="http://www.odeo.com"&gt;Odeo&lt;/a&gt; for podcasting, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/viewsfromthegac08/"&gt;A Flickr Group&lt;/a&gt; for photos (if you&amp;#8217;re here, feel free to join and add photos), and &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/realsolutions"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; for micro-blogging.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The site is a simple one-pager that automatically adds content based on updates from each &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RSS&lt;/span&gt; feed.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s &lt;span class="caps"&gt;REAL&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217;s Lois Kitsch kicking off the conference (hat tip to Chaz for the cool intro idea), followed by Scotland&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href="http://www.capitalcreditunion.com/"&gt;Capital CU&lt;/a&gt; CEO Marlene Shiels discussing Britain&amp;#8217;s fight against predatory lending:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;center&gt;
&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-T7GkyMNaa4"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-T7GkyMNaa4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;In Q2, we&amp;#8217;ll be launching a knowledge and resource center for &lt;span class="caps"&gt;REAL&lt;/span&gt; Solutions to distribute research and innovation products directed as serving low-income households.&lt;/p&gt;
