Streaming the Quakebook press conference …

The technology wizard behind this morning’s livestream of the Quakebook press conference at the Foreign Correspondents‘ Club of Japan was Joseph Tame (foreground), who not only set up the stream, but also livetweeted the action. What does Joseph get up to in his spare time? Check it out.

THE Press Conference

1 Apr

The 3D appearance of @ourmani took backstage to the news….I’m still struggling to take everything on board. Where shall I start?

Yoko Ono has contributed to Quakebook.

From everyone involved, I can only say an enormous thank you.

Amazon and Sony are going to make the book available in a digital format with every penny going to the Japanese Red Cross. We’re now in talks with Apple too.

Wow!

The live broadcast of the Quakebook press conference, where we finally saw who our man was, delivered all and more that the global team could have hoped for to help those still suffering in Japan.

Quakebook is HUGE.

Because the problems are.

There will be a second edition in some form – details to be confirmed.

Everyone, but everyone who has contributed to Quakebook will make a difference to real people in Japan.

And that, my friends, is why we started. To all of you in Japan, this is for you.
