FeedMe Bubbe Discovered at Spring 2007 VON:
Andrew Keen: The Bubble bubble
"Nothing else can explain what I witnessed, with my very own eyes, at the San Jose Conventional Center yesterday. There I was, at Jeff Pulver's VON show, prospecting for interesting young Web 2.0 video companies, and what did I find? I dug up an eighty year Jewish grandmother from Boston, known on the Internet as Bubbe, who had been schlepped out to California by her twenty-something grandson, Avrom Honig, a Web 2.0 entrepreneur. Bubbe (she wouldn't give me her real name) is the star of an Internet video cooking show called "Feed Me Bubbe". Bubbe is evidence of Chris Anderson's long tail. Get used to her. She's the old/new pin-up for the democratized media revolution."

It was great meeting both Avrom and Bubbe and spending time with them at the Network2 booth inside the Video on the Net Pavilion on the Spring 2007 VON show floor.

Wait until Andrew sees the video of Bubbe playing Guitar Hero! Eric Rice shot it. I'm sure we'll see it from him at some point. Oy Vey.
If Andrew liked Bubbe, he should also check out my mom:
