Marathon Tweeter

For all the wacky tweeters you have heard of tweeting while during the halftime of an NBA game of in the football locker room, I personally have never heard of someone tweeting a live broadcast in the middle of a sporting event.

Joseph Tame beats them all with his live broadcast and tweets from 4 consecutive IPhones during the 2011 Tokyo Marathon. He states he wants to take live sports cover to a new level. "I want to see if I can take it over the top to a new level" says Tame. As grueling as it was, he says it was worth changing how people view sports.

With friends controlling and updating his feed, Tame gets comments and encouragement from followers all around the world. Within his broadcasts, Tame describes runners breaking down and how they are handling the grueling race.

Tame built a contraption all by himself as he is described by his friends as a "bonified techy". He wants to bring each mans road race to an every mans road race.

In my opinion, he was very creative in his idea and mechanics, but in no way will it catch on to others sports. He meant well in all his innovation and for that I give him his props.
