...via an ad for Blackberry!

See his two minute thirty five second video here:

http://www.blackberry.com/select/ask/featured/premal.shtml?CPID=BAC-STQ3BNPre&cp=BAC-STQ3BNPre

He explains what Kiva is and how it works during the first 45 seconds -- nothing but Kiva, and a pretty tempting explanation.  I immediately went to go find out what Kiva's all about -- "...but wait," I told myself, "I already KNOW that!" 

See, that's how effective that first 45 seconds of video is -- he sold me AGAIN :-D. 

Then he tells how email is his main mode of communication with field partners, and how his Blackberry helps him keep in touch, around the clock, etc.

I think this video is a pretty effective ad for Kiva, and maybe even for Blackberry ;-)

Yes, I thought that was great!  

I don't know about anyone else, but I found I had to use Internet Explorer--not Firefox--to watch it, though.

I liked his quote, "When I'm jogging or running, I'm thinking, 'How can Kiva be a better website?'"

Well, for starters, he could follow KivaFriends more closely on his Blackberry!

I was able to watch using Firefox.
