Bill Maher says it's the first Internet talk show, and that Dean Koontz is the first guest. It's Amazon Fishbowl, complete with commercials. Because of the platform, as Bill interviews his guests, the relevant content appears right underneath the little screen, purchasable of course, with one click. Sponsor UPS features in a segment where an Amazon customer has his book The Goomba Diet delivered by the author, actor (The Sopranos) Steve Schirripa and a UPS driver--all very meta something.
As Bill says to his guests: "Welcome to the computer."

PLEASE NOTE: This blog ceased being updated on August 30, 2010. A blog from five OCLC staff about all things present and future that impact libraries and library users. A conversation that starts with the Environmental Scan and wanders around from there. This content is not vetted by OCLC. Everything you read is purely the personal reflections about what's going on in libraryland, informed by our birds-eye views from the center of the WorldCat universe (Dublin, Ohio, USA and beyond).

Bill would be about twelve years too late to be first, I'm afraid.
In particular, I draw your attention to Cliff Lynch and Peter Deutsch
