In Heavy Rotation: Margot & The Nuclear So and So’s
March 28th, 2007 ·
I’m pretty late discovering this band with the weird name. I heard about them on Twitter last week (yes, I know – yet another use for Twitter) and I’ve had the album in heavy rotation ever since. Here’s a track called “Quiet As A Mouse” from their 2006 album “The Dust of the Retreat“.

A great analysis of what is going on with Justin.tv
-
“…we’re learning to negotiate always-on connectivity. Some people are going to need more distance than others. Some are going to opt-out completely.”
-
“It’s also in the idea that it makes the line between audience and participant vanishingly small. Everyone can be in on the act — and, as far as Kan is concerned, they should be.”
-
“Once the advertisers grok what’s going on, they’ll offer substantial money to twittering stars, not for commercials, but to simply use their product so the stars will mention their products when they twit.”

“Air travel will mean a few hours of downtime, but Justin says he’s willing to sacrifice that in order to “go on tour.”

Twitter On KPIX Local News
March 28th, 2007 ·
A local news station in San Francisco (KPIX) ran a story tonight on Twitter. Robert Scoble (PodTech) and Biz Stone (Obvious) are featured in the video.
Was Someone Just Hired on Twitter???
March 27th, 2007 ·
Interesting. Earlier today, Justin.tv on Twitter sent out this 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?
Update:
Looks like this is the guy who is helping Justin.tv with the scaling issues.

Justin.tv On Local News in San Francisco
March 26th, 2007 · 3 Comments
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?
