Stephen Fry Talks about WPtouch and WordPress
Sep 19 2009 • Written By Duane Storey • 23 Comments

StephenFry.com currently runs the latest beta of BraveNewCode’s free WPtouch plugin, and is probably one of the largest sites using it. A few weeks ago, I contacted Andrew Sampson (who runs most of Stephen Fry’s web empire), and asked if perhaps either Andrew or Stephen would be able to submit a quick quotation, audio clip, or video clip for my presentation for WordCamp Portland — Andrew and Stephen gladly accommodated.

I just finished presenting it all here in Portland, and thought I would share it for all the people who asked to see it again. So, here it is (if you’re on the iPhone, hopefully this video should now work as well).



Once again, a very big thanks to Andrew Sampson and Stephen Fry for being a part of the conference here in Portland, and for talking about WPtouch and WordPress.

I’ll post my slides over the course of the weekend, along with a few links to other resources. Until then, I’ll probably be enjoying a few beers down here in Portland.

    Duane,

    I missed your mobile session at WordCamp Portland, but saw the Stephen Fry reference on the screen at the conclusion. THE Stephen Fry? Yes, one of my fave actor/writer/comic talents.

    Congrats on the testimonial.

    Do you need any further testimonials, after Stephen Fry has given his? Probably not, no. :D

    Firstly I love your plugin and have implimented it on every of my sites.

    Ironic though that this is a post about WPtouch and the video you’ve provided isn’t iPod friendly :P

    That’s a good observation. Unfortunately, none of the good video sites do iPhone videos properly. It’s something we’ll try and add to WPtouch soon.

    Great that your site is iPhone friendly. Too bad that the video interview with Stephen Fry is not viewable with the iPhone. #fail

    I converted the video to an iPhone format, so hopefully that works for some people. The wireless here in Portland is terrible.
