You definitely need to seed it with more content. Currently I see just 2 videos, both of them old, neither of which are topics that interest me.

One approach would be to set a topic every day, and persuade 3-4 of your friends to record something on the topic. Once you get a debate going, more people will join in.

You're competing with posting vlogs on Youtube. So you need to figure out what will make people much happier posting on your site, even though the audience is smaller at first.

Thank you!! Would approaching debate clubs help?

Also, would you or Jared like to speak on some topic that interests you ?

I've also given an option of creating a private topic - which only selected invitees can view and participate - so that one can discuss and debate with only close friends/co-workers. Could this be a feature appealing for video bloggers who are concerned of privacy too?

It's worth a try. But video is a different medium from live debates, so it could be that debate club style doesn't work in video. You might get better results from YouTube personalities.

I do have future plans to introduce live debates - but I was hoping to do that once the offline debates gets some traction and acceptance.
