A local news station in San Francisco (KPIX) ran a story tonight on Twitter. Robert Scoble (PodTech) and Biz Stone are featured in the video.
Update:
This story is no longer available on the KPIX web site. Here’s a video that I took when it aired back in March 2007.
Interesting. Earlier today, Justin.tv on Twitter sent out a request for help to the “Twitterati”:
Looking for someone to help scale the site STAT. Will seriously pay you a suitcase full of cash.
Within 3 hours, they had received over 100 responses:
Justin: thanks for all the support! we’ve had like a hundred people offer help!
I’m not sure how many of the responses were from the 325 people who are currently following him on Twitter but I’d say that 100 responses in a few hours is a great response for a job posting that took all of 10 seconds to post.
This is why I think Twitter has an opportunity to challenge craigslist. This was a very efficient, targeted classified ad. It took little effort, it didn’t cost anything (these types job postings can cost a couple hundred dollars). Is this considered spam or is this an effective use of a new communication platform? Should Twitter get compensated in some way if this request resulted in justin.tv finding someone for the job?
A local news station in San Francisco called KPIX ran a story on Justin.tv tonight. This is a big step towards mainstream success for this ambitious project. I’m just wondering what he’s going to do with that video feed if he needs to travel on a plane to be on a national talk show. Maybe have a guest Justin fill in?
I had a great time on Photowalking 8 with Thomas Hawk and Robert Scoble. Below is some video that I took towards the beginning of the photowalk. Check ScobleShow for the full video, coming soon. My photos are here and there are lots more great photos here.
