Random Musings

yesterday we filmed episode 35 of the gigaom show over at the revision 3 studios.  prager, hansen (our producer), josh (camera) and don (superstar) were all in attendance as well.   it was the first episode that Om has filmed since his heartattack in december and i must say, it was wonderful having him back:) at first, it was quite nerve wracking to have to main host the episodes myself.  the seat is a hard one to fill!

over the past 35 episodes, we have learned a lot about internet video shows, how to do news analysis for video versus print, production cycles, and the list goes on and on.  we are still learning new things each day.   i hope folks tune in for our next episode as we will be sharing some thoughts about our lives since the show started and give you all an update on our plans moving forward.

my friend yongjoon just sent me a blog post from a Korean blogger/journalist who just caught an episode of the GigaOm Show and realized that i am Korean, so he wrote a post.  pretty sweet.  makes me happy to learn that tech folks in Korea are slowly learning about the show.  since the show began, i have been approached by a number of Korean tech entrepreneurs  who are happy to meet other Koreans out here in Silicon Valley.  what is interesting to me is that despite the fact that the korean web experience is traditionally 3 to 5 years ahead of the US web experience (what we call web 2.0 here happened in korea maybe 5 years ago), we haven’t seen many successful korean start-ups translate into international success stories.  i guess we will have to work on that, now won’t we!

the embed codes are finally working. now let me see if i can get it over here… this is episode 8, with max levchin playing tom cruise.
