@Scobleizer joins Seattle Tweethouse @140TC

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Tomorrow we’ll be providing live, online video streaming from “The Tweet House” in Seattle on March 8th. The broadcast will stream during the afternoon from the Bell Harbor Convention Center in Seattle, WA.

In addition to the live streaming coverage, Watchitoo will also remotely “beam-in” special guest speaker Robert Scoble, a technology blogger and one of Forbes’ Web Celeb 25 for 2010, to address the in-house audience.

This is the second event in which Watchitoo and the Parnassus Group have teamed up to provide streaming coverage to outside audiences. In January of this year, Watchitoo remotely brought Jimmy Jean-Louis, of NBC’s Heroes, to the “The Tweet House” at Sundance to address the recent earthquakes in Haiti.

Parnassus Group founder Steve Broback said, “We are extremely pleased to have Watchitoo on board again for ‘The Tweet House.’ The Watchitoo platform has become the ideal tool for us to ‘beam-in’ guests from around the world and provides a layer of interactivity for those who cannot attend events to digitally mingle with conference goers.”

“We’re very happy to be working once again with the Parnassus Group,” said Rony Zarom, CEO of Watchitoo. “Given the recent successes at Sundance and CES 2010, Watchitoo is proving itself an ideal platform for events of this stripe.”

Those not attending the event in person can watch the live stream by visiting: http://www.watchitoo.com/pro/show/wph-836. Footage will also be available after the event for playback by visiting: http://www.watchitoo.com/pro/seattle140tc/.

Watchitoo Highlights from Tweethouse Sundance

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
This past weekend at the Sundance Film Festival Watchitoo partnered up with the hosts of #Tweethouse to beam in Jimmy Jean Louis from NBC Heroes into the @140tc Tweethouse event at sundance during the celebrity #tweetupforhaiti. He discussed his Non-Profit organization HUFH “Hollywood Unites for Haiti” and what can be done to assist with the urgent need for relief assittance in the devastation that has struck post the catastrophic earthquake.

The tweetup for Haiti was hosted by Levar Burton, and had celebrity guests like Adrien Grenier from Entourage post a tweet and donate funds to the relief efforts. Adrien donated $1000 to the Wyclef Yele Haiti Foundation.

Shira Lazaar also live streamed some of the happenings at tweethouse as well on Ustream, and wrote a great recap of the tweethouse happenings on the CBS News Blog discussing appearances also made by Joseph Gorden Levitt promoting hisown site hitRECord.org and film Hesher at this years festival (which Shal from Watchitoo attended while he was out there and reported great things after the screening) and Kareen Abdul Jabar who promoted his own documentary film.
It was exciting to see how an online streaming platform can be used to connect people around the world for a shared experience. Those of us who didn’t join Shal at the tweethouse were able to view some of the panelists talking: like Adrien tweeting for Haiti, or Kareem Abdul Jabar showing his documentary, would could ask Jimmy (@HaitianHero on twitter) questions live in the real-time chat, and connect with some new individuals concerned in supporting the Haiti efforts and getting coverage from sundance. We had some users join from Ghana, Turkey, Israel, New York, LA, and elsewhere in the U.S to revisit the show go to www.watchitoo.com/pro/tweethouse.

Sarah’s coverage from CES via Watchitoo’s interactive platform demonstrates the ongoing trend towards real time experiences online, where life casting and video streaming have become increasingly pervasive.  Sarah’s familiarity and exposure on various social media & streaming sites including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, MySpace, YouTube, Tumblr, and Justin.tv makes her adoption of Watchitoo’s collaborative platform a natural progression in her adoption of online video technologies. Watchitoo offers a perfect web-based platform to engage with her loyal followers using functionalities that include real-time chat and content-sharing, offering audiences a unique social viewing experience. This will truly differentiate the content from her popular YouTube videos which provide a broadcast format.
