Here are the other uncut video interviews from The Chevy Tweethouse at SXSW where I spoke with stars on the big and small screen about what the future holds in tech and entertainment culture. Enjoy!
With Adrien Brody on the carpet- he was promoting his upcoming Predators film.
In the past 3 years that I’ve attended SXSWi, it has grown in leaps and bounds. I know we say that we’re in a time of information overload, but being there and seeing all the online folks I know offline, made me realize that we’re in people overload too. In between shoots and meetings, I barely got to see half the people I knew who were there. That wasn’t the case in previous years, where the Interactive attendees were far less. We’re connected to more people than ever before, and while that’s what I love about the Internet, it also makes me wonder- as humans, are we are naturally able to maintain this growing network of relationships? What strategies do you have to sustain your on and offline relationships? Please share!
Moving on- aside from my vlogging responsibilities for CBSNews.com, I was also hired by the Parnassus Group and The Hollywood Reporter to host the Tweethouse- an offline event highlighting the converging entertainment and tech communities with panels throughout the day and an evening bash.
I interviewed some of my favorite tech trailblazers and online friends like Robert Scoble, Mashable’s Pete Cashmore and Revision3’s Jim Louderback. I also helped actress Jamie Lynn Sigler make her first tweet:
Last year, I hosted the first ever Streamy Awards honoring the best of web television. It was a historic night to say the least, where the entire community came together to celebrate amazing online video content, as well as the drive and passion from the creators behind it.
This year, I had the honor to announce the 2nd Annual Streamy Awards nominations live. You can watch the entire live stream below:

I was also pleasantly surprised and honored (once again) to discover that I was nominated as “Best Video Blogger” with other online powerhouses including IJustine, Shay Carl, Brigitte Dale and Shane Dawson. What an awesome feeling to be acknowledged by one’s peers and amongst other vloggers I truly respect!
Thanks again to Midnight Mission Media for including me in this fabulous Streamy “For Your Consideration” video released prior to the noms:
