Episode #1 – Wednesday, April 8, 2009
(Episode Length: 22 minutes, 21 seconds)
Intro
- You can join us live every Wednesday at 12p ET (9a PT) over at New Marketing TV which gets hijacked and changed to Pirates TV.
- To interact with us, you can catch up with us on Twitter: @justinlevy or @crbrowning. Also, make sure to tag your questions, comments or feedback with #piratestv.
- Lunch with the Pirates is jumping on board with all of the other live broadcasts. Some of our friends include: HubSpot TV, Permission TV and Blue Sky Factory TV. It is so easy to start and cheap to start a “TV show” nowadays but, are there companies that shouldn’t start a live online broadcast?
Pirate Marketing Moves
- Skittles - Was it just a publicity stunt to get conversation going? Colin doesn’t think so. Colin believes that Skittles was turning the conversation over to their customers. Thoughts?
- iRoadTrip – The first iRoadTrip saw the team travel through the heartland of America to visit with true American innovators. Next trips include an iRoadTrip sustainable innovations and education. Disclosure: This is a New Marketing Labs project…
What’s in the Spyglass?
- New Beta FriendFeed – Is it Twitter or is it Facebook? I tend to think that it looks similar to the new version of Facebook. This is very interesting because there were a lot of conversations around Facebook ripping off FriendFeed when they first released the “Like” feature. However, this beta version of FriendFeed looks very similar to the Facebook stream.
…and with that concludes our first episode. We actually recorded a few more minutes but realized that the camera stopped taping. Oh well, we’ll keep improving each week, we promise
We know what we liked and what we want to improve upon but now we want to hear from you. What did you think? What can we do better? Did you find the topics interesting?
