Sometimes interesting things can happen when one mixes older ideas along with newer technologies. The 30 Hour Day is one of those things. The show is designed be 30-hour Web-based telethon. Think YouTube meets Jerry Lewis. No sleep. All for charity.
The telethon will be hosted by Cami Kaos of Strange Love Live, a popular tech podcast broadcast from Portland, Oregon, and Rick Turoczy of Silicon Florist, a blog that covers the Portland startup scene. They’ll be raising money for charity by entertaining for 30 hours with the help of quite a few people. Watch this video to find out more about the 30 Hour Day, and how you can participate:
It’s very cool how they’re taking an older concept (a telethon) and mixing it up with new technology including using the web for the event and using social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs) for build-up. I’m a photography sponsor for the event (via Hockley Photography), and it would be great to see how other folks will chip in as well.
