Long time tech media guru Leo Laporte made history Friday night when he crowd surfed the 2500+ audience that attending the live performance of Diggnation at SXSW. He streamed it live as he was doing it. I caught Leo right after he made his legendary journey with a complete wireless streaming backpack. We talked about his one in a lifetime crowd surfing experience which was also probably the first time anyone has ever done it while streaming live over the Internet. We also talked about the gear.
Here’s his actual crowd surf. It’s Hysterical.
And watch my interview with him right afterwards over on Tweetshare. This is one of many videos I’ve been shooting for Tweetshare at SXSW. Browse through the entire SXSW collection.
