Pete Discusses Google/Digg, YouTube and iPhone Apps

Each week we will bring you a video recap of the week’s tech news and events by our newest employee Pete. Don’t worry, most of the time you won’t hear or see her – she will be working like the other blog interns out there. But sometimes we will sit down to get her opinions on the latest topics at hand. I’ve given her the goal of getting more views than Justine has this week. Should online brands be targeting young children now so they become loyal as they grow? Get the kid hooked and their parents will be hooked as well. Look at how Pete talks about YouTube – she can watch Elmo all day – I wa lucky to get a few minutes of Cookie and Ernie a day when I was little.

Today Pete discusses:

• Google’s potential acquisition of Digg
• YouTube – Elmo’s premiere with Neil Patrick Harris
• Twitter
• The Facebook platform
• iPhone applications

Now we need to get her to stop talking about Seesmic!
