I think I can, I think I could..
That is exactly what we at RockeTalk asked you. Why did you think your video should be aired on Channel [V] during the eXhausted show? It is your short cut to fame- get your entry in for the Wake-a-thon and yours just might be the one!
We were overwhelmed by the responses and the different sides of you all when you are were asked to talk about yourself. From the very basic- ‘I should be’ to very elaborate answers – to even when you all took it on as a political campaign- getting others to talk about you. Boy, you were all so right, India has talent- that’s for sure.
We are having fun putting the Wake-a-Thon shows together with your help of course- but please keep in mind- when you suggest the tasks for the contestants, you could be in the hot seat next. So….. please don’t seriously suggest we hang each contestant upside for the night and see who makes it 
But seriously, some of the best ideas come from you and we really appreciate your time and patience, especially with me, and your enthusiasm, zeal, friendly voices every single day. I wake to your voices each day- and I love it.
If you are wondering what Wake-a-Thon is, it is a parallel show in response and in continuation of Channel V’s eXhausted, (Yes, they are trying to woo the MTV Roadies audiences) where ‘regular’ folks can join in the fun without having to travel- right from their mobile phones. The participants – compete and the others give them tasks to do through the night. Fun thing, as it is multimedia- folks got to send in pictures, videos and responses in their own voices. And the rest of us get to tease, cheer or boo (nah- we don’t really boo do we?)
As we cannot show hundreds of your entries on here, so here is a sample of what people sent in last week- it is just a few- hey I pushed it- I was told to choose only 5- at least I got 9 in. If you don’t see your entry here, it is nothing personal. We tried to get a good sample for you to view. Enjoy! Best wishes for this weeks contest. And keep those entries coming. Your entry may be featured next
Want to see your video on Channel V or here? Think you got what it takes? Come join the fun and see you you can actually make it through the night. All you need is RockeTalk on your mobile phone and fun in your hearts.
All videos were shot using mobile phones and posted directly on RockeTalk as entries for a chance to play the Wake-a-Thon on August 29-30, 2009 as a contestant.

Un-cut and Raw: Behind the scene exclusive videos
Everyone knows that there a lot more than what meets the eye and what actually makes it to the final cut even for the reality shows. There are takes and re-takes. There is so much more to the shows and things get really interesting when the contestants are eXhausted and the crew is under eXtreme pressure to make the show work and become a hit.
There are times when what goes on the actual show isn’t half as interestig as what goes on, hmmmm … well, in between shoots or when the people on the sets think the cameras are ‘off’. But…. Wherever there is A-C-T-I-O-N, chances are, there is a camera capturing it all. Tempers flaring, giantic egos, creative folks, tantrums, bloopers- you name it, we got it. And guess what? We got the exclusive scoop on it. Check it all out – only on RockeTalk. Are you tuned in? Or are you missing out?

The much awaited ‘Mirchi’ release :)
Finally here! The much awaited new release, fondly referred to as the ‘Mirchi’ release because of the new ‘What’s Hot’ look- with flames and a bright red chili pepper, is now available to a limited group of users. It is scheduled to go live for everyone this weekend.
Not everything is visible all at once; there are several changes you will notice as you use the application. Notable new features added by popular demand:
1. Extended video recording- Yep! You asked for it, you got it. Now you can send longer videos from your phones to other RockeTalkers’ phones or any email address and post your fun videos to the Gallery. All the better for your citizen journalism needs and to send those family video to all your family and friends!
2. Those ever popular Smileys or emoticons – yes they are finally there to use in an easy way.
3. The much asked for BUZZ for friends … well you asked for it, we did it. We made it even more exciting- giving you the option to record your own Buzz. Don’t be surprised when your friends catch you off gaurd sending you some intersting stuff.. lol.. we wish we could see your faces when someone sent you one of those naughty ones.
Hmmm.. not sure what a Buzz is? A Buzz is a way to wake up your friends who are online but are quiet or… use it just for entertainment.. we leave that to your imagination.
You will see little changes happening in the background almost on a daily basis over the next several weeks.
Keep those suggestions coming and we’ll see how we can all work to make your RockeTalk en more fun and meaningful.
Thanks from the bottom of our heart to all Beta testers and our ever expanding, inner circle of users, our ambassadors. We really appreciate all your help.
If you’d like to be included in our Beta test group for future releases, please contact support@rocketalk.com

Having fun isn’t hard if you’ve got a RockeTalk heart
From us to you: The RockeTalk Team
Yes, we are real.
Did you see it? The 'R'?
Yes, we work long hours.
Stay up night after night trying to make things easier and more fun for everyone.
Most of us are the invissible people who magically appear out of nowhere and try to quickly fix bugs that you report.
We try to keep up with your demands for features and even try to think ahead and give you features you’ve never thought of.
We are the ones who ‘moderate’ those racy videos and pictures you keep trying to post into the Galleries. Yes, we are the ones who suspend your accounts when you behave badly 
We love what we do and we love working as a team to make things work. We go through each and every comment you share about your experiences- with ‘r’ ‘Help’ or ‘amita’ (Yes, Amita is a real, living breathing person) and others who are occassionally seen on the ‘Live’ server or on email support@RockeTalk.com , feedback@rocketalk.com .
Most of us work tirelessly in the background but we have fun too. We play pranks (My favorite one: when the server response coming back occassionally as “Elvis has left the building”… The server response had the team wondering for a bit how that happened ..lol.. John are you reading this?)
We take breaks from work as a team and this is what we did last weekend.
Oops! Now you know why it took longer to get back to you… lol.. Not to worry- we take turns – the show, on RockeTalk, simply must go on
