TV meets its future at the Tech-Ed Business Center

I'm here at the awesome Business Center setup by Microsoft and its partners at the Herrods Hotel in Eilat.

Around me everyone is setting up stands, hooking up their display computers in preparation for the hordes of Tech-Ed attendants who will soon come here.

Having followed the Bloggers Meeting hosted by Microasoft's charming Michal Nisenzweig, to whom I owe my attendance this year, I rushed up here to see Lior Zoref and Yosi Taguri cast their charms on a visiting channel 10 TV crew.

It was inspiring to see Lior describe to the TV people about the bloggers covering the event and especially about the video bloggers, armed with Flixwagon enabled 3G phones who are broadcasting live directly to the internet.

This is a part of the future of TV. Ordinary people covering special events by themselves, live and open to everyone in the world. Imagine the impact this could have on our lives. On the lives of people fighting against government control of the media (consider the Tibetan monks rising up against Chinese rule right now). I am hopeful we are nearly there.

PS - Yosi, your Guitar Hero rocks!
