The Immersive Conversation

with 8 comments

Think­ing ahead of the game.

Scoble is leav­ing PodTech. Doing some­thing else from mid-January 2008.

In his post he talked about live streaming/twittering and the con­ver­sa­tion that res­ults from imme­di­ate con­nectiv­ity to an audience.

From Scoble’s post:

Another thing that opened my eyes? The Google Open Social press con­fer­ence where I had the only video, thanks to Kyte.tv and my cell phone (they had asked for me to leave my pro­fes­sional cam­era in the car — funny that’s a story I’ve heard sev­eral times, includ­ing on the panel dis­cus­sion yes­ter­day where Jeff Pul­ver showed off video he shot on a small pocket cam­era of the recent Led Zep­plin con­cert. He told the audi­ence that Led Zep­plin wants to buy his pho­tos and videos because they were bet­ter than the pro­fes­sional ones).

Blogs, Video-Blogs, Pod­casts emu­late the old media. Push out. Wait for com­ments (aka let­ters to the editor). The imme­di­acy is miss­ing. There is too much latency between thought to feedback

Immers­ive Con­ver­sa­tions.

Live-streaming/Live-twittering/Live-full immersion-SecondLife/Live un-meetings of the ilk as dis­cussed on EEL recently is the next step. The tech­no­logy is here per­mit­ting low-cost, high-bandwidth imme­di­ate two-way sessions.

In con­ver­sa­tions with Cameron Reilly, this is exactly where his mind has been for some months.

The move is on.
