Breaking the News: Tom Scott and Matt Gray boneh...
http://www.tomscott.com - http://www.mattg.co.ukThe biggest project we've ever tried: on Budget Day 2009, Tom and Matt headed down to London. With a camera crew in tow and a command centre in York telling us where the cameras were, we tried to get in the background of as many live broadcasts as possible, boneheading our way through London landmarks and news channels. Tom had an Oyster card; Matt had a Ford Fiesta. Only one could emerge victorious.

A talk by Tom Scott from BarCampLondon 6 at the Guardian's offices, 28th March 2009. In which I discuss Tweleted, give some advice on how not to run viral marketing campaigns, and — live on stage — call up a spammer and get the audience to shout at him. Why have you removed all the personal details from this video?Spam - particularly invasive spam like this that abuses the web trust relationship - really annoys me. But that doesn't mean that someone doing that deserves to have their personal i...
