Robert Scoble features Alpha Five Version 10 demo on scoblemedia

As you already know, one of the highlights of our recent media push of Alpha Five Version 10 was my meeting with Robert Scoble while I was in California for Oracle OpenWorld 2009 last month.

We sat down together for a cup of coffee, and I was able to show him a demo of some of the great things you can do in Version 10. As you probably remember, the response was incredible. As I said in my last Scoble post, it's not every day one of the most influential chaps on the Internet calls your product "revolutionary."

To put it lightly, we were thrilled. It was a true testament to the countless hours of planning and hard work the Alpha team has invested in Version 10 over the past year, as well as the months of testing and feedback our beta testers have invested.

When Robert and I left off, we agreed to another meeting for a closer look at V10, as well as some other development projects he has up his sleeve that piqued our interest. And before we knew it, Selwyn and I were boarding the plane back to California to meet with Robert at his house for a private demo of Alpha Five.

And what do you know, we made the Twitter stream again. As usual, Robert had one eye on us and one eye on his iPhone. We already knew he's is a whiz on all things social media, but this meeting took it to new levels. How many people do you know who can be fully immersed in a video demo, ask questions, carry a conversation, and tweet it all from not one, but TWO Twitter accounts on his phone?

This time we were featured on Robert's @scoblemedia Twitter stream, the account he uses to highlight videos he creates of what he calls "bleeding-edge technologists."





In the first video, Robert interviews Selwyn, who gives a brief history of Alpha Software, and our driving motivation behind creating Alpha Five.



And here in the second video, Selwyn gets to the real meat of Alpha Five Version 10.



It doesn't get much better than a tip of the hat from Robert Scoble. And now, our fingers are crossed that Robert deems us worthy to feature Alpha Five Version 10 on his Scobleizer blog.

All I can say is that Selwyn looks like he is the first cousin to Dr Gregory House on TV!
