Alphageeking
You want wacky, huh?
You want cutting-edge?
Okay. So here you go. Beyond the Land of Video Podcasting, beyond the Social Media Space, beyond even Virtual Worlds lies a whole new universe: lifecasting.
Some of you already know justin.tv. Four months ago, he began broadcasting his life, 24/7.
Yes. You heard that right.
"But . . . you gotta be kidding me," you say, comfortable in your Nielsens. "Nobody would watch that."
Well, not only are a whole lot of people watching, Justin’s bringing on new streams from new lifecasters all the time. One of those streams is Alphageek.tv. Alphageek is, well, dedicated to covering the Lifestyles of the Cutting Edge, the Opinions Which Will Shape Our Future, and other Matters of Great Import as Relates to the Ongoing Change. Their first interview was with Chris Pirillo, and it pegged Justin.tv’s rateometer pretty hard.
Now they’re going to Gnomedex. Which is where we come in. Centric is sponsoring them. So don’t be surprised to hear our name mentioned as they prowl the halls, lunch with the next great luminaries, and pub-crawl with the alpha geeks of our world.
Where will this lead? We don’t know yet. Consider this another grand experiment on the edge of change . . .

I just hope there’s a special “Going to the Bathroom” kill switch on that rig. I’m all for the wonderfulness of lifelogging, but, dude. There are limits.
