May 28th, 2008 Viewzi in the Newzi

Posted by Jay at 9:38 am

Okay, first, let’s just clear up one thing. The whole “newzi” rhyme was Tricia’s idea. So if you loved it, now you know. And if you didn’t, well, there you have it.

Yesterday around 4:30 p.m. a news-team of two showed up at our offices to put together a story on Viewzi’s upcoming live launch. Stephanie Lucero interviewed several of us, got her footage, and had a story run on the 10 p.m. news. We were on the air at about 10:15 p.m. The end of the story included a teaser for a referral code found at the story’s accompanying web article. At approximately 10:22 p.m., our servers became a giant molten blob that sank into the earth’s crust…

Actually, the platform did amazingly. And the story had a fun “local boys try to make good and take on the big-bads of internet search” angle to it. You’ll see me briefly. If it was a movie, I would be listed in the credits as “Man 1, 3 men at a table”. Here’s the video. Enjoy!

    Hey, we saw you last night, but it’s a good thing we didn’t blink at the wrong second!

    We saw it last night!! Outstanding performance! On one of the “viewzis” of all the guys sitting at the table, we could see Jay sweeping over his hair with his hand:) The company looks really cool and I’m going to try to use it next time I go surfing!
