Aussie readers out there that get up early in the morning might like to turn on their televisions to channel 9 at around 6.45am tomorrow where they might just see a familiar (and bleary eyed) face being interviewed on the Today show about blogging.
Lucky I didn’t get the 6am spot!
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

Dude, you gotta get a copy of the interview and post it on your site as an .mpg or something.
Think of the elevation in your already ivory towerish status in the blogosphere ;-)

Luke - ’speechless’ - yeah - lets hope that’s not me tomorrow morning. I might have to get up early to have an extra coffee.
Rebecca - got a call from their producer late this afternoon. The interview is a follow up to an article in the Financial Review today about business blogging.

That’s right in the middle of my sleep cycle so I expect a nice video file download please Darren.
Perhaps even if you record it with one of those digital cameras I know you have…

I’m tempted to record it on my PVR when put it on the internet but I’m not sure Kerry Packer would be very pleased given copywrite issues….then again it might fall under fair use?

Darren, Please, please, please capture and it put on the internet somewhere. I would be happy to host it on one of my sites if you want.
Hope you are not too nervous!

Once you do get the video, make a bit torrent out of the video, so you don’t kill your bandwidth.

Is there any chance it will be shown in the United States?

Not bad!
I think the curly question was the vague copyright/ownership one. I wonder if they were digging more for tidbits on blogging anonymously?

Good Luck and don’t worry, I can’t imagine you being speechless! You are a fountain of information. But - just in case - remember to have a pad of paper and your list of buzzwords next to you to talk about.. e.g.
you ..
your blogs ..
your network ..
purple mayonaisse .. (it would be nice to see if you can make something up - like AssassinationPress.blogspot.com did - on live T.V. and have it become the next blogging craze buzzword)
.. Oh - and don’t forget to wear that outfit to match the Ad on Duncan’s page :-) it’s a hoot.

Just saw the interview on ninemsn’s site. Great stuff Darren! Sitting at home “playing on the computer all day” just took another step forward towards being socially acceptable.
For those wanting to see it, go to here and search their videos for “blogger”. Unfortunately, you’ll have to use IE to do it. Stupid MS corporate shills.
