He used an aerial drone, a remote-controlled toy called a Parrot AR, and modified it for his purposes of taking shots from above. Tim Pool used some innovative methods of getting said footage. His channel became incredibly active and responsive, with Tim Pool asking his viewers what they wanted to see on his channel and, in response, directing his camera according to their requests for what they wanted to see footage of. Not long after that, he began to take a more active presence on camera himself, acting as a sort of informal reporter to the events happening both around and with him. Together, the two merged and created a media company that they dubbed The Other 99, a reference to the 99%, an Occupy catchphrase.ĭuring his time living and protesting amongst the people of Occupy Wall Street, Tim Pool started to film and live stream the events via his cell phone. While at the Occupy Wall Street protests, Tim Pool met and formed a friendship and partnership with a man named Henry Ferry, who had used to be both a sales manager and real estate agent. On the twentieth of September, 2011, Tim Pool joined up with all of the other protestors of Occupy Wall Street. It made him feel so motivated that he dropped everything he was doing and instantly bought a ticket to take a bus to New York City, New York, United States of America. Be it news or anything else.Tim Pool’s notoriety began thanks to his first being made aware of the Occupy Wall Street movement when he saw a viral video online from the protests. But there's going to be small startups and it's going to be a lot easier for the individual to get their brand recognized as soon as they launch. I think the average person isn't going to be too worried about a logo, but I think we're going to see a lot of people who have their own smaller brands-I don't think citizen journalists, because the idea of a citizen journalist sort of a one-off, they report one time. POOL: I'm planning, it's in the roadmap, of doing a quick feature for logo generation. So this removes the question of who is doing this news because now the content itself is branded by the news organization that paid for it to be produced, and the journalist gets credited for doing the work.ĬAPITAL: Do you envision a future where citizen journalists have their own proprietary logos that they are watermarking things with? Quick example: Coming from a journalism space, when someone is reporting news, users follow the journalist and not necessarily the news company, but the news company is paying for the journalist to report. For brands, and for smaller or bigger news companies, you can get brand value across the board from all of your staff. It prevents organizations from using your content without permission. For the consumer, for the average person, you get credit for your work. POOL: It's a simple idea that solves a lot of problems. Hopefully this changes all that.ĬAPITAL: What to you is the value of a watermark or timestamp in the current media climate? I've seen news organizations outright just take photos from Instagram and use it for news without credit, without permission. There were instances where, I can't name names, but a big show used my content without credit. I want people to be able to get their information from me. For me, it's about getting the word out that you can follow me for more information. I get between 50 and 100 retweets when I'm doing breaking news and I just thought I was losing a lot of value. We need to get to the point where Glass is indispensable.ĬAPITAL: Did Taggly stem from any instances where your own work was used without attribution that particularly frustrated you? Word Lens and Livestream are revolutionary with Glass in my opinion, but we need more. It seems to me what we need right now is the developments. I was really, really excited because I overestimated what it was going to be. POOL: I think it was the other way around. Livestream.' And then boom you're broadcasting to the world.ĬAPITAL: Were you skeptical when you started using it? Did it meet your expectations? The other big advantage right now is that Livestream for Glass just came out, so you can actually just say, 'O.K., Glass. You look at a sign in Spanish and what you see in the camera is English.
Now there's an app called Word Lens, which allows me to look at a sign in a foreign language and it translates an image in English in front of me in the viewfinder.
The biggest advantage: The translation for Glass was faster than anything I've used.
There are a lot of apps that need to be made that I'm hoping will come out soon. What did it do for you and are you continuing to still use it? CAPITAL: You were one of the first reporters to Google Glass on the ground, most notably in your coverage of protests in Istanbul last year.
