Rather than having me explain it, I will let the wonderful Ron Richards (Director of Marketing & Product Management) tell you everything you need to know about Intern Row:
As summer kicks into gear, we’re proud to introduce you to Intern Row, a new blog that will be written, managed, and produced by the interns here at Revision3. Each one of our wonderful interns will contribute to the blog and it will be updated frequently.
Revision3 is a firm believer in providing opportunity and experience to those who participate in the internship program. We take interns from all across the nation and give each and everyone of them the ability to work on all of our shows from any and every direction; various responsibilities include shooting, editing, promoting, marketing and business development. Intern Row provides yet another opportunity for our interns to talk about their experiences while at Revision3, along with any related interests they may have.
Think of this blog as another way for you to get behind the scenes of Revision3. Not only will the interns discuss their experiences in and out of the office, but they will also blog and vlog about current events along with other various interests of theirs.

Introduction
Twitzu is a new twitter application for events. When a user creates an event, Twitzu automatically tweets out the event details from the creator’s twitter. Twitzu then encourages individuals to RSVP for the events, when that action occurs, Twitzu again automatically tweets out that the user is attending the event.
What I like
I think Twitzu can be an easier, simpler version of upcoming if done right. The ease of using twitter rather than another service adds to Twitzu’s appeal. The viral features of automatically tweeting RSVP’s help build the events exposure.
What I don’t like
Twitzu’s design is rather bland, a redesign is a must! Also, Twitzu is very buggy - when users RSVP Twitzu often duplicates the user’s avatar and RSVP.
Final words
For now Twitzu isn’t really worth using. With a redesign and some bugs worked out, Twitzu could instantly emerge as an extremely useful tool for quick events and parties.
What is TwitterCounter?
Twitter counter is another tracking device for keeping track of Twitter followers. Once you enter in your information (twitter handle) TwitterCounter will keep tabs on how many followers you have.
Smart branding decision
The first thing I thought of when I saw the embed for TwitterCounter was Feedburner. Sure the design decision shows little to no creativity, but associating yourself with a brand that doesn’t directly effect your product can definitely work to your advantage.
Final thoughts
TwitterCounter is a fun little application that serves a purpose. I think the best part about it is how unobtrusive the embed is. If they went with the big obnoxious widget, I would have probably ignored the product.

Disclaimer
I want to start off by saying that the Lakers win tonight at home against the Celtics was underwhelming. Everything Jeff Van Gundy and Marc Jackson were saying at the end of the broadcast was spot on. The Lakers defense played soft at times, and letting Eddie House shoot open jumpers in the corner at the end is ridiculous. On top of that, Kobe definitely did not play like an MVP throughout the game.
After game 4
The fact that Kobe was the leader of a team that experienced the biggest collapse of all-time led me to say that you could no longer compare Kobe to Jordan (EVER, and I hate Jordan). Michael would have never let his team fall apart, at home, in such a big spot.
That being said
The steal that Kobe Bryant made at the end of the game (although some can argue it was a foul and that Kobe didn’t really get much ball at all) has the potential to be a legendary play. If some how, SOME WAY, the Lakers manage to take the next two games and steal this NBA championship that play will be the epitome of Kobe’s legacy (for the time being). It was a prime time spot, and against a prime time player (Paul Pierce). That play essentially sealed the game, and potentially changed the course of NBA history. Then again, the Lakers have a long way to go…
