Who is Chris Pirillo and is he well known in the US?

Question

I got sent this video by Chris Pirillo and had a quick look over his blog. It's pretty cool but I wondered who he actually is and whether he's a well known blogger in the tech community?

Answer 1

I think most techies know of him. He's a whiny Mac fanboy, mostly.

Answer 2

Yeah techies know 'em

Doesn't mean we like 'em lol

Answer 3

never heard of him

Answer 4

I'm not American but I do know who he is. He used to host a programme called 'Call for Help' on Tech TV which was pretty big. He's now streams videos from his basement about various issues in the tech world. I think they're quite informative and he seems to have a fairly laid back style. He streams himself live online too - right now he's playing some computer game! Hilarious!  

Answer 5

I have heard of him plenty of time, but still doesnt know who he is
