Oren Jacob from Ready Set Bag came on our live show to talk about his film and new web show.

Liz Shannon Miller at NewTeeVee has the story.

The show has been MIA for a little bit because we are in transition with Pop17. We’re busy with the new site launch and setting up a studio at a new location. This is to give you a quick vlog update instead. We’ll be at SXSW through the 17th so you can expect daily vlogs, blogs and tweets all on Pop17.

Nikon is teaming up with yfrog for a site at SXSW. Watchitoo and Nikon are sponsoring Pop17 coverage at SXSW! Yay!

The vloggers who got the most attention at the Vlogvetica gathering were Mitchell Davis and Tessa Violet. We had so much fun!

Jesse Draper runs a show called The Valley Girl where she features the tech elites. Her fun and silly interview style is half acting and half real life. She’s an actress at heart, but has alway carried a special place in her heart for the Silicon Valley business scene. Probably because she grew up around tech and business with her father, Tim Draper.
