While nursing a cold at home, I realized today was the day YouTube would begin posting responses from leaders attending the World Economic Forum. Leaders will continue to answer YouTube’s Davos Question through January 27.

If you have some time on your hands (or a cold to kill), you can check out what people like Seventh Generation’s Jeffery Hollender and Hungary’s Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány have to say.

“What one thing do you think that countries, companies or individuals must do to make the world a better place in 2008?” That is the question YouTube is asking its community of videographers and voyeurs to answer and rate. The highest ranked videos will be screened January 23-27 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Attending global leaders will have an opportunity to given their own YouTube responses.

I don’t think this project will garner the same kind of success as YouTube’s “You Choose ‘08″ has for the U.S. presidential election process, but I am interested in tracking it nonetheless. Unfortunately, no video posts are up yet, so I’ll be checking in throughout the voting time frame (January 1-21) and thereafter for the Davos attendees’ viewpoints. Will I be seeing your answer up there?
