Show Script:
HEY THERE WHAT IS GOING ON...
I'M RICH DEMURO AND THIS IS THE SYNCHED UP SHOW.
JUST WAITING TO BE PROPELLED FROM OBSCURITY ON YOUTUBE...
JUST LIKE BRYAN BRINKMAN!
LET'S GET YOU STARTED WITH YOUR MUST CLICK MOMENT!
IT'S THE ULTIMATE LIVE STREAM...
WHILE KEVIN ROSE MADE AN INTERNET FUSS WHILE STREAMING LIVE FROM 36 THOUSAND FEET ON A VIRGIN AMERICA FLIGHT...
LEAVE IT TO NASA TO ONE UP HIM...
YOU CAN NOW WATCH STREAMING VIDEO OF THE EARTH AND INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION FROM 220 MILES UP!
THE FEED ALSO FEATURES AUDIO TRANSMISSIONS TO AND FROM MISSION CONTROL.
UH - HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM - THE CHAT ROOM IS FILLED WITH LOL-ERS.
GOOGLE FINALLY TAKING THE WRAPS OFF OF GRAND CENTRAL...
IT'S NOW GOOGLE VOICE.
THE SERVICE IS LIKE EMAIL FOR YOUR PHONE NUMBER...
I'VE BEEN USING GRAND CENTRAL IN BETA FOR MANY MONTHS NOW...
IT LETS YOU USE ONE PHONE NUMBER FOR ALL OF YOUR PHONES...
RINGING THEM SIMULTANEOUSLY.
IT ALSO HANDLES VOICE MAIL.
THE UPGRADED SERVICE ADDS VOICEMAIL TRANSCRIPTION AND A BIGGIE - THE ABILITY TO SEND AND RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES.
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY TEXTS SENT TO MY GRAND CENTRAL NUMBER I'VE MISSED..
NOW THEY'LL BE FORWARDED TO MY CELL PHONE.
LOVE THAT SOUND...AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS...TIME FOR A QUICK QUIZ!
((AMANDA QQ))
THANKS AMANDA...
HERE'S AN INTERESTING REPORT OUT OF JD POWER AND ASSOCIATES...
WHERE YOU BUY YOUR BIG SCREEN MIGHT INFLUENCE WHICH BRAND YOU PICK.
THE SURVEY SENT 8-THOUSAND MYSTERY SHOPPERS INTO 45 HUNDRED ELECTRONICS RETAILERS NATIONWIDE...
THEY FOUND THAT SALESPEOPLE AT BIG BOX RETAILERS LIKE BEST BUY TEND TO PROVIDE MORE BRAND-SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS THAN SALES PEOPLE AT MASS MERCHANTS LIKE WAL-MART.
LCD'S ARE RECOMMENDED MORE OFTEN THAN PLASMAS...
AS FOR BRANDS - SAMSUNG AND SONY ARE THE MOST RECOMMENDED LCD'S...
WHILE PANASONIC IS TOPS FOR PLASMA.
FINALLY...
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MEANING IN THE MILLIONS OF TWEETS CLOGGING UP THE INTERNET PIPES...
CHECK OUT TWENDZ.
THE SITE - LAUNCHED BY A MAJOR P-R COMPANY - SORTS THROUGH TWEETS AND HIGHLIGHTS THE MAJOR TALKING POINTS...
IT THEN GOES A STEP FURTHER BY ANALYZING WHAT'S BEING SAID AND ASSIGNING A POSITIVE, NEGATIVE OR NEUTRAL SCORE TO THE TWEET.
THE RESULTS ARE COMPILED FOR A REAL-TIME INDICATOR OF SENTIMENT SURROUNDING A TOPIC.
SYNCHED UP SHOW - 57 PERCENT POSITIVE TWEETS!
THANKS!
