Scobleized!

Robert Scoble was at LIFT and I saw him using an N95. He and I had crossed at many an event and have many folks in common, but I had yet not introduced myself to him.

Well, partly because he was using an N95 and partly due to wanting to tell him my new role, I walked over to say ‘Hi’.

He then whipped up his phone and started recording live, with questions coming from his audience.* I basically told him what we were up to in Social Media Communications and such.

In any case, I got a ton of emails and SMSs soon after the broadcast. For those who missed it, here it is (below).


Alas, I haven’t seen it yet, only now sitting down at my computer since the interview. And qik is not being quick and I’ll just have to trust the positive comments from others until I get a chance to see it for myself.

Finally got to see it. Not half bad. Lays out our vision. Let’s see now if we get to see it all.



*Heck, this was real interactive TV and no one is calling it that. Interactive TV dies and then was reborn and no one noticed.

  1. Congrats Charlie on your Scoblification. Drop me a line on your new thang.
    Whoops, back to show shoveling.
    Cheers,

  2. Hei Charlie, good pitch. I’m sure you’re just about to unveil our new conversational website right now.
    As you know I’ve been experimenting with quick video interviews and reports on Nokia’s intranet recently, using the N95.
    Now, what struck me about your Scoble shoot is that your nose seemed to remain pretty much in the center of the screen 🙂
    This is either particularly apt camera work by Robert, or…
    wonder if he used some kind of stabilizer effect, and where it would live: in the handset software, somewhere in Qik, or was this video edited after all?

    See you around!

  3. Jos, the stability was both Robert and I. He’s got a ton of practice. I was trained (flogged) to keep my head still when on video. 🙂
