Google hires Michael Scott for OpenSocial Campfire
At Google's "first Campfire One" — Dept. of Redundancy Dept.! — developer-relations guy Vic Gundotra nails a pitch-perfect impersonation of The Office's Michael Scott. "Well, good evening and hello. Tonight we're going to talk about one very special way to make the Web better." The rest of his stiff, awkward, canned presentation showing off OpenSocial, goes on like this. Watch it, if you dare. It took might take you a minute to realize that he wasn't actually doing a parody of TV's most tiresome boss.
