hubbubtv: Tom Foremski/SiliconValleyWatcher

Tom is one of my favorite people, and one of the most personable, truthful, colorful personalities in journalism and social media today. In this episode of hubbubtv, Tom -- a Brit -- recalls his early days in the Bay Area (more than 20 years ago) and takes us on a brief travelogue of two booms and two busts (are we at the beginning of a third cycle?). He also talks about his trials as the first journalist to strike out on his/her own in the blogosphere, and what's working/what's not. Off camera: his son Matt, the young Internet maven who broke the Lonely Girl story a few weeks ago. Matt was too shy to make an appearance, but promised us a few minutes sometime soon.
