Sarah Austin

Pop17

Sarah Austin is a Manhattan-based video blogger who offers opinions, interviews and tech news on her two to three minute daily Internet show Pop17. She combines legitimate news with pranks and stories on Internet fame. A recent report focused on the new 3G iPhone and included traditional news commentary, her personal review, and man-on-the street interviews in NY.

Austin gained popularity with her D7tv tech show, Party Crashers, where she crashed parties in Silicon Valley. She also contributed to live video streaming sites Justin.TV and Mogulus with her show PopSnap and provided video reports for Gizmodo and Rocketboom.

Austin gained notoriety for her humorous short video, "Optimus Prime Refused Service," where she was refused service at a McDonald's drive-thru for wearing an Optimus Prime helmet while ordering. The video gained attention on Youtube.com and was featured on ABC News last July.
