Group, a social media services provider, announced today that
Watchitoo (www.watchitoo.com)
will be providing live, online video streaming from ?The
Tweet House? in Seattle on March 8th. The broadcast

of this year, Watchitoo remotely brought Jimmy Jean-Louis, of
NBC?s Heroes,
to the ?The Tweet House? at Sundance to address the recent
earthquakes
in Haiti.
Parnassus Group founder Steve
Broback said, ?We are extremely pleased to have Watchitoo on
board
again for ?The Tweet House.? The Watchitoo platform has become the
ideal
tool for us to ?beam-in? guests from around the world and provides
a
layer of interactivity for those who cannot attend events to
digitally
mingle with conference goers.?
?We?re very happy to be working once again with the Parnassus
Group,?
