He also \\nreveals that once again he will be tweeting live from the Streamys \\ntelecast, as he did during the Oscars, and recalls\\xa0how cool it was to \\nlearn that even the likes of\\xa0Mr. Bean was following his tweets.

Hayzlett also previews Kodak\'s red hot digital video cameras, the \\nZi8 pocket camera and the Kodak Playsport, both of which are serving as \\nthe Official Digital Cameras for this year\'s Streamys. You\'ll definitely\\n want to listen in\\xa0as he shares how cameras like these are being used by\\n budding, young creatives to make their own web soaps, comedies and talk\\n shows. Can Hayzlett convince someone as technologically challenged as \\nJamey (who still uses an old-fashioned tape recorder on the red carpet) \\nthat the Zi8 is even easy enough for him to use? You\'ll have to listen \\nto find out.
