& sent out a message to 40 ppl on poke asking ppl if they wanted to get updates of the Phish concert.

• 7 ppl opted into it
• 3 ppl responded with their own pokes but didn’t respond to my question
• 1 person said they didn’t care for phish
• 1 person unsubscribed mid concert 
• 1 responded they wanted to get updates but it was already after the show was over

Take away notes:

• Friends commentary is a nice layer to events
• Short bursts of other ppls lives can be fun but will be overwhelming if everyone does it all the time.
• Intimacy of sharing with friends only vs the world is great
• the limitation on video size makes it much easier to upload and share.
• Opt in for live events will be fun as Google Glass and other always on devices become common place over the next 3 years
• Found out that poke has a limitation of 40 ppl
