Where was YouTube or Twitter at the Emmys? I was watching the Emmys last night and was quite disappointed to see the same old method of presentation of the stars....


Nothing like the Democrats debate on CNN/YouTube, where I was quite impressed with the way that YouTube made the debates more worthwhile and interesting.
Given that it is THE TV industry... and they are supposedly some of the most creative, innovative people, I was expecting much much more. YouTube could have been used to take questions from the world audience asking those TV stars why they wore the dresses they wore, or why they picked out those certain high-heeled shoes. Not that I really care about the answers to questions such as these, but I would have loved to have viewed the interaction.
In my opinion, this venue provides the opportunity for social media use given that it is all about conversation and the reporting of conversation.
Just think if some of the stars would be asked to Twitter their thoughts and the other stars could respond to them in real-time... and the audience could read what they wrote. The gossip rags would go nuts and the whole scene could be much more electric.
Oh well there's always next year.
