Speaking of technology and the election. I work for NBC17 in Raleigh, NC and we used ustream.tv to live stream the Obama Town Hall, the url is here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/355941. We had over 600 viewers at one time. With the internet and the right tools politicians can reach the world easier and push there voice throughout the internet.

I just purchased a Nokia N95 a few weeks ago and have live streamed a few local tech meetups with it as well. You can see my qik videos here: http://qik.com/waynesutton

It was fun to watch you last night with Scoble and Loic.

I'm adding this blog to my rss feed.

Thanks

Riding the Future with Scoble and leMeur on the World Live Web

I spent a few minutes in the future last night, having a late dinner at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica with Robert Scoble of FastCompany.tv and Loic le Meur of the start-up Seesmic. Both of them are tech pioneers who are working in the emerging world of the world live web. And when they say live, they don't mean simply the part of the web that gets updated often, otherwise known as the blogosphere and the news-sphere. They mean the direct streaming of live events onto the web, along with live feedback from audiences that are highly networked.
