Taltopia Interviewed on TechZulu

A few weeks ago, we were contacted by the guys over at TechZulu.com, a site where they interview up-and-coming websites. Vak and Efren (TechZulu's co-founders) came by our office last week to shoot this rather extensive (25-minute) interview. It was great meeting them, and we feel that the interview went very well - we covered everything from the start-up process to getting angel funding, and even our future plans. Go grab some popcorn and soda pop, click play below, and enjoy!

CNN - Young People Who Rock

Thats right...we rock! We were recently featured on CNN.com's segment titled "Young People Who Rock" which highlights people under the age of 30 who are doing big things. Nicole Lapin, the host of the show, contacted us after someone had anonymously suggested we be on the program.

We set the date. We set the time. We made it happen. I drove out the CNN headquarters on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles, parked the car, and approached the security desk. The gentleman at the desk asked for my ID and then said "Mr. Vartazarian, they are waiting for you in make-up." He escorted me to the make-up room where I got to meet the lovely Nicole Lapin. She invited me to in the chair next to her and we started chit-chatting about Famesource and its recent success. The make-up artist then brushed some of the magic tv make-up on me, and we were off to the studio...Larry King's studio that is.

It was truly an amazing experience to be in that studio. The lights, the cameras, the crew...it was awesome. I remember staring off to the side of the studio where I saw Larry's desk and his famous desktop microphone. After a few camera adjustments and a sound-check, we were ready to roll. The interview lasted about 10 minutes and was over as quickly as it began.

You can read Nicole's column about us here. The taped interview will be up soon!

Famesource Compared to MySpace

If any of you happen to live in the San Joaquin Valley (Fresno, Madera, Bakersfield, Fowler, Merced, etc.) and were watching NBC affiliate KSEE 24 at 10pm or 11pm, on Monday the 21st, there we were.

NBC did a segment on how people are finding fame and fortune online and they featured us...they compared us to MySpace! Sure we may have a fraction of their users, sure we may not be worth 10 billion dollars, sure we may not have Tom's connections, but you know what we do have...a Tv interview with NBC affiliate Ksee 24 in Fresno. Thats right. What are all those things in comparison huhhh? If you ask me. Nothing.

KNBC4 Raw News: Famesource.com

I got contacted last week by Mekahlo Medina who is a news anchor for KNBC here in Los Angeles. He invited me to come into the NBC studio for an interview about Famesource. You can see the interview above.

It was really cool meeting Mekahlo, and I felt that the interview went pretty well. We hope that this interview makes more people aware of the free services that Famesource.com has to offer aspiring and professional talent. Claim your fame!
