2. Article and live feed at thisTime link ...

"Tim Pool doesn�t have a fancy camera, high-tech equipment or a news organization to back him. But like most of us, he has a cell phone.

A 25-year-old protester from Chicago who came to New York�s Zuccotti Park in mid-September to join the Occupy Wall Street movement, Pool was one of the thousands evicted from their makeshift home early Tuesday as police raided the site in full riot gear. As members of the media poured downtown, many were denied access to the park, meaning much of the live coverage and updates would have to come from the protesters themselves. Around 1:30 am, Pool switched on the camera of his Samsung Galaxy S II, and began streaming live from Ustream, broadcasting the raid and mass arrests live online to more than 100,000 viewers. �We�ve seen one of the scariest, heart-racing nights,� he told viewers. �The eviction of Zuccotti Park and it�s really bringing everyone together.� He�s been the eyes of the movement ever since..."

When the team got separated at one point, Pool wound up having to pick up the reporting--and he's done so well that he's stayed on.

It would be nice to see him have a chance to get relieved soon--he's been livestreaming continuously for more than 18 hours now.

6. He's planning on going until 10pm--unless there's something happening then...

He just apologized for not having energy to continue covering the GA. Said he just wants to sit down...only had a chance for a half-hour break today when he had to wait for a new battery.

7. He has been doing a stellar job for weeks. Out of pocket, living on savings.

If you can spare a buck or two....
