What is a blog? Riccardo Zanirato video clip
Thursday, February 2, 2006
Riccardo Zanirato, is a young Italian financial businessman, caught on TheWeblogProject video camera. While the clip is all in Italian, it is hilarious to see our yuppie friend call up on his mobile phone a far away friend to get a "good" answer for the question "what is a blog?".
Here below is the full text transcript translated in English.
Do you know what a blog is?No, listen, don’t film me because I can’t give you an answer.
Wait a second. Where will I be seen?
On internet, on theweblogproject.
Weblogproject. Hold on. Please wait a second.
Please.
Just a second, I’ll tell you write away.
I’m also on vacation.
Yes, I can hear that (from your accent). I can recognize the accent, I think.
From?
Your surely from the Veneto region.
Right on. From where precisely?
I would say between Treviso and Bassano del Grappa.
You are absolutely right. Treviso, anyway.
I’ve went to the Filippin for a couple of years.
Oh, goodness, so you are from my neck of the woods. The Filippin is in my area.
Yes, I know exactly.
Hold on, I’ll tell you immediately.
Because I was looking for it too, so…
I’ll tell you what it is, if you want.
No, no! It’s a question, and it needs to be answered. I want to give good answers.
Because it’s something they’ve been talking about here, but I really work in finance, so I work with completely different stuff.
Hold on a second.
(On the phone)
They are filming right now and… I will also be on tv, right?
On the internet and maybe on nessuno.tv, a satellite channel.
On nessuno.tv and the blog project.
Theweblogproject.
The web blo….
Theweblogproject.it, right?
.com
Yes, and they’re asking me what is a blog?
It’s news, like gossip…yes, but through what? Through internet?
A what? Like my own page.
But instead of coming out in a newspaper, it shows up on the internet, right?
Oh, ok, perfect. Ah, ok, great. Ok.
Ciao Daniele, thank you.
What?
No, he’s filming me now. They’re filming while I’m talking to you.
Ok. Web log …weblog…web log project. Dot com.
With the question…
What is a blog?
When will they be able to see me?
If it will be suitable, in a couple of weeks.
In a couple of weeks, ok?
Ok, so a blog is a page related to gossip but instead of coming out on a newspaper, it’s on the internet.
This is what they told me now.
I don’t know if it’s right but I’ve tried my best.
