Talking Egypt, social media, and Murdoch's new app on @BloombergTV

I'm stoked to announce that I'm now officially a contributor on BloombergTV (it's official because it's now listed on my about.me/alexis). Thank you for putting my hoodie & t-shirt lifestyle in such a professional spotlight!

Well, I had my second appearance on @MargBrennan's InBusiness yesterday and it looked nothing like the picture below.

Alas, I had to resort to that bad photoshop because embedding for the video has been disabled.

I hadn't gotten a chance to try out Murdoch's The Daily app since it was still launching at the time of the interview, but as soon as I beat this Angry Birds level I'm stuck on, I'll give it a go.

I'm definitely still getting the hang of live television (Margaret, you make it look so easy). In case you missed it, here's my first appearance.
