It’s true. Starting at about 12 noon today, Spreecast.com was infiltrated by a swarm of adorable furry kittens. No public spreecast event was immune to the kitty bomb, or as we’re calling it, Spreecats Invasion. Their mission? World domination. Their call to arms? It’s meow or never.

Watch the sassy Spreecats in action: 

Remember, kids. Just because the day is ending doesn’t mean you’re safe from the Spreecats. You’re never safe from the Spreecats.

Lawl, we’re just kitten! Happy April Fool’s Day from Team Spreecast!

Prince works in mysterious ways. After much speculation, Prince’s band, 3rd Eye Girl, announced in a live spreecast event last night that Prince will in fact launch a select-city tour in 2013. 

Hundreds of fans were shocked at the announcement, and began rapidly sharing the news with their friends. This morning the story was picked up by major music blogs, and tour dates have since been posted across the web. 

We’re humbled that Prince chose our platform to break the news of his tour. Are you hoping to catch a show? Find out if he’s coming to your city!

Last Saturday Spreecast took to the stationary bike, spinning alongside hundreds of San Franciscans to raise money for rare cancers. As part of Cycle for Survival’s spinning event, our team raised $2,000 and helped reach over $7.6 million in donations overal for the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. A great workout and a great cause! (Also helped justify those extra wings during the Super Bowl). Great job, team!

“The safest thing to do is play it risky.” - Seth Godin

We had the pleasure of welcoming renowned author and thought leader Seth Godin to Spreecast this month. Interviewed by power spreecaster Mitch Jackson, Seth offered invaluable wisdom on social media, marketing and the Information Age.

Not only is Seth an incredible speaker, but the level of community engagement in his spreecast was off the charts. We’re honored that our platform could help him share his ideas with others. Check out our December Clip of the Month above, where Seth explains that in today’s Information Age, “the safest thing to do is play it risky.”

If you spot a moment in a spreecast that’s amazing, funny, insightful, or quirky, clip it and send to clips@spreecast.com and we might feature it here, in our monthly clips channels, and on Facebook and Twitter (along with some fun perks to the creators).
