We've been experimenting with a new concept... "live TV" at http://HubSpot.tv. We all know that on the Internet, anyone can be a publisher with a blog, and it is easy to publish a video or audio podcast. Now, you can even stream live video from your computer or even cell phone. So we're giving it a shot. Karen Rubin (HubSpot Inbound Marketing Consultant) will be joining me for a rundown of recent marketing news. And because this is web2.0, you can chat live with us and ask us questions, so you're part of the show. If you want a sample, we recorded our first (alpha) show for your viewing pleasure. Check it out below, along with our show notes and links.
Tune in today at 4:30pm EST at http://HubSpot.tv to our live broadcast and tell us what you think.
Recorded HubSpot.TV - Episode #1 - August 8, 2008
Below are our actual show notes from Episode #1. They might not mean much to you, but maybe you can follow along, use the links, etc. It also helps search engines index the content more easily, since they can't tell what we're saying in the video.
