What do you think of mizuki? Since hes just joined Circus.

Can see a massive improvement on his production since he actually came to you guys. He's from around where I went to school, knows a few people I know. Small world.

TIM!

I'm a huge fan. I love the work you've done for citizen journalism and your talks at BBC whats trending last year were a major inspiration for my degree project NewsGather.

I really dig the work you've been doing with tagg.ly. I spoke to Issac Philips last year with the intention of skyping about my project and hearing more but nothing really came of it in the end.

Any updates on tagg.ly? I think thats a really important realm of journalism that deserves more attention.

I'm going to assume you mis-read the question.

Smart phones are cheap for a journalists video source. Most people get phones on contract anyway, so affordable. Ofcourse a 7D costs a lot but that's what he is currently using. That wasn't the question. It was about how he started.

Which was with a 3G internet connection and a smart-phone live streaming to Justin.tv I believe.

Also, to answer your own question. You should read into Tim more. The BBC whats trending event last year in London has some good VODs of Tim discussing his origins.

TL;DR: He just went and did it. Thats pretty much it.
