Oprah's Eckhardt Tolle Webinar - 500,000 Viewers and a Few Hiccups

I got an email this morning that over 500,000 people attended the Oprah's webinar last night, simply awesome. Jen and I tried to watch the webinar, but ran into some technical difficulties. We thought the issue might have been that our computers were overheating, but got an email this AM noting that some folks had had difficulty with the stream. We only saw about a 1/3 of it, but intend to download it on iTunes, as soon as it is available today.

As an entrepreneur, I commend Oprah and Harpo Productions for having the courage to utilize the Internet to deliver this unique programming. I would like to share one of my favorite quotes with Oprah's team:

"The discovery that Edison made is that you innovate by iterating quickly, by having lots of prototypes. Prototyping allows you to learn from risks almost immediately You get a sense of the performance range of a product or service that teaches you more about the idea than a thousands hours spent intellectualizing."
