New TWiT Interview series - we need a name!

In October, we launched a new interview show co-hosted by Leo and Tom. The idea was born after Leo interviewed Don Tapscott, who promoted his new book Macrowikinomics.  http://twit.tv/specials38.

This still untitled show is a 30-45 min discussion with high profile newsmakers/big thinkers. Many of the people interviewed so far have been guests on TWiT in the past. However, this is an opportunity to have an open discussion on anything.

We have a couple of interviews lined up this month.

-November 17th at 4pm PST: Kevin Kelly, author of "What Technology Wants"

-November 24th at 4pm PST: Gary Vaynerchuck

Here's our interview with Steve Wozniack:

Next was EFF founder John Perry Barlow:

Then former Digg CEO Jay Adelson:

What do you think about the show? Let us know in the comments and suggest a name!

What happens in Vegas...

I thought it would be sacrilegious to attend BlogWorld 2010 and not blog about our travels. So here goes. Leo, Lisa, Tom, Sarah and myself attended the show for a brief day.

Here's Leo with a recap:

We even went live with TNT from the blogger lounge.

The video quality wasn't ideal (we had issues on the show floor), but the audio was nice and clean thanks to Blog World Radio. Make sure to scroll to the end of the video for an outtake. Our video went down during the first sponsor read and Jason, Ken and Burke improvised.

Unfortunately we missed most of the panels, but at least we got to walk to show floor!

It was such a fast and furious weekend and in the end we were all pretty beat, but no one more tired than our Chief TWiT. I took this photo and used instagr.am for the filter. By the way, we were instagr.am snapping fools on this trip.

Oh, and our hotel was the Mandalay Bay, profiled in the movie The Hangover. Unfortunately, no tigers, babies, or Mike Tyson encounters on this trip.

I have one more video to share, but I think I need Leo and Sarah's permission first ;)
