The Live Vlog or How PhillyD and gogreen18 are Trying to Kill Me

I feel like crap and look even worse; I have the 'John Green' poof going on. I have been trying to get my internal clock reset to the time zone on this side of the continent, but that all went out the window when I decided to spend a few hours last night watching some live broadcasts from two on-line personalities.

While I have recently been spending a lot of time thinking about the whole YouTube experience, I am actually trying to grasp how the entire Web2.0 phenomenon is changing us. So when PhillyD and Laci Green announced they would be on-line live last night I tuned in to their UStream and BlogTV broadcasts. I had not previously spent a lot of time watching on-line broadcasts as I wasn't certain what I was watching for, but now that I am forming some clearer thoughts concerning this change, I am more prepared to observe.

What I should have realised was that both PhillyD and Laci Green are on the west coast of the US, while I live at the eastern most point of North America, unless you go past the point that says, "Don't go Pass this Point" ... lest you fall into the Atlantic Ocean. Come to think of it, I have a picture somewhere of me going past that point :|
Anyway, I tuned in, stayed on, and lurked until 4am, at which time I slipped into a fitful sleep filled with dreams of Twitter icons and YouTube videos.

That being said, the two sessions were as different as chaulk and cheese (a local colloquialism I enjoy) and therefore filled with interesting bits of information for me to mull over. And since I do my very best mulling in the shower, and I look like hell, I think I will let the rainshower head do its wonders and revitalize my poor body and stimulate my brain. Then I will document what I saw, heard, and thought about my first on-live live broadcast experiences.

Until then,
