"Want to experience the Toyko Marathon 2011? Joseph Tame aka @tamegoeswild aims to bring the marathon to you through his new invention code named iRun.\r\n\r\nTame\u2019s project will stream the marathon from the multiple devices strapped to the iRun, and will broadcast the event on Sunday Feb 26th (6pm EST) from his site.\r\n\r\nTame calls iRun a \u201Csocial media studio\u201D. It sports four iPhones, an iPad, an iPod, an Android, rotatable mounts,  3 wifi units and a bird-feeding dish. This highly complex device also has various rods and piping that secures the unit from falling apart. Seriously though, this thing looks like a catastrophe waiting  happen.\r\n\r\niRun is equipped with Twitter, Runkeeper, FaceTime and Skype, and uses a mini-weather station to stream information about the temperature, CO2, noise and humidity levels. He\u2019s asking people to\r\nactively participate on Twitter.\r\n\r\nTame explains how he\u2019s pulling it off:\r\nThis technology will allow me to broadcast live video on two cameras (using either skype or FaceTime to a local studio for re-broadcast), send live location/pace/heart rate data via Runkeeper on the iPhone, transmit temperature, COx/humidity/noise levels via a custom-made Android app created by www.ecomobilecitizen.com \u2013 and do all of this while looking incredibly cool... On the day of the marathon we\u2019ll have a team of about 15 volunteers broadcasting live from various points along the marathon route \u2013 these will stream back to our makeshift studio where they will be mixed and rebroadcast via Ustream.\r\nThis isn\u2019t Tame\u2019s first stab at broadcasting, last year Tame streamed the same marathon from a head-mounted iPhone, and he was able to grab over 13,000 viewers and over 1,000 tweets per hour.\r\nFollowing on from the success of last year\u2019s Tokyo Marathon broadcast project, this year I\u2019m upping the ante, by running the entire 42km/26 mile course whilst operating the iRun, the world\u2019s most advanced mobile social media machine that will allow me to share this epic challenge with the world in a way that has never been attempted before.\r\nBelow we've posted a video of Joseph Tame and his iRun in action. And if you want to call him a tool, you'd be correct. A broadcasting tool.\r\n\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
