Removing Filters – A Wetoku Interview With Hal Lublin
It’s no secret that I’m easily distracted. So, what I’m about to say won’t come as a surprise to anyone who knows me. This morning, while trying to catch up on email after my trip to Blogworld Expo in Las Vegas, a shiny object diverted my attention. This is usually a new piece of tech, but in this case it was a blog post. Hal Lublin wrote “I’m All In,” a post about some advice Chris Brogan gave him while playing in an Ante Up For Africa poker tournament that took place as part of the Blogworld activities.
Removing The Filters From My Online Conversations
In his post, Hal articulated something I had communicated with my wife over the weekend, that I need to remove a few of my “filters” when I’m online. While I’m certain that I am authentic in my online communication, I’m equally certain that I’m a toned-down version of my authentic self. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that, and yet I left Blogworld wondering if removing a few of my self-imposed regulators might not be a good idea. Quite frankly, that thought scared my wife. She is warning me that I need to keep a few of them. And I certainly will.
Hal’s post resonated with me. So this afternoon I gave myself permission to be distracted by another shiny object and do a quick test of Wetoku to highlight his post. Wetoku occupied the booth across from the Mothers Fighting For Others table in the Expo hall and I was looking for a good excuse to give it a test. This qualified.
Let me know your thoughts on the conversation & the technology used to record it.

Yes, my mic is a bit hot. Yes, that is my laptop fan you hear.
I’m a bit biased, but I’ll chime in since you asked… the technology used to record it is pretty cool!

P.S. Tweet @wetoku with a request to have early access to the Wetoku Pro test features…
Like the authenticity push over transparency. Thanks for testing Wetoku… good interview platform! Seems like the interview a little to relaxed at the end
Ben, I think we were just trying to illustrate the removal of filters.
Wetoku worked well for the interview. I did check it out on the expo floor at Blog World.
I think Hal needs to live his passion and write about what he enjoys most…which is making other laugh. The whole world wants to know what is in Jeff’s dark room…but then again, that’s what makes it a mystery and a wonder.
There is a desk, a chair two computers and three monitors in that dark room.

Any idea when/if it’ll be back online?
Jason, thanks for alerting us. It is back up and working now.
[...] Lublin related the story of how, while playing poker, Chris Brogan helped him understand that he shouldn’t hold back, I wondered why I was holding back. I wondered what was keeping me from writing. And I’ve [...]
