iPad Mobcast from @wantowle
Just got this email from Graham over at OWLE. Since I love me some OWLE peeps - I wanted to repost it, and see if you all wanted to take part as well. DUDE! This sounds #AWESOME!
Hey Jen,
here is the email we are sending out, it explains everything we are doing:
Ipad Mobcast
This Saturday April 3rd we know a lot of you will be eagerly waiting outside your local Apple Store to get your hands on an iPad. We know you are bringing your iPhones, so bring your OWLE's too! We have a chance to provide the most comprehensive and in depth coverage of this historical event because of YOU the OWLE users. While you are standing in line stand outside, interview people, get shots of the enormous lines, ask the crowd what they are going to do with theirs, get funny stories and generally just cover the madness that is an Apple product launch.
MobCasting is a way for lots of people to cover the same event with the same expressed purpose. There is going to be tons of coverage of the iPad launch but nothing like what we are trying to do here. With 1000's of OWLE users all over the world we have to chance to be at every single Apple Store on the PLANET! ( take that Walt Mossberg!)
All you have to do to participate is send us your footage anyway you can. Email it, facebook it, twitter it, live stream it send a flash drive via carrier pigeon! Use whatever software or content platform you like just make sure we can access it. The more information the better, please include your name and city so we can give you credit! The preffered method for sending us footage is by using the application Tweet Reel (Full Quality video uploading to twitter) with the hash tag #Mobcast on the end. We will compile that footage throughout the day and will have an epic video done in time for the evening news.
If you plan on being apart of this groundbreaking event please reply to this email with your name, city, and Apple store location that you will be covering.
Sincerely,
Team OWLE
