TV Everywhere: Full Code Conference Video of Hollywood’s Ryan Seacrest and Twitter’s Dick Costolo

The dynamic duo!

Asa Mathat

As promised, we’re starting to post the full videos of interviews from the recent Code Conference.

A new video of one of the many stellar speakers for the event, which took place two weeks ago in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., will go up every day. (You can see a compilation video of the speakers here.)

Today, we feature a dynamic duo, in the form of Twitter CEO Dick Costolo and Hollywood impresario Ryan Seacrest.

As Jason Del Rey noted: “Place Ryan Seacrest and Twitter CEO Dick Costolo together onstage and what do you get? A whole lot of talk about the impact of Twitter and other social media on TV viewing. Bonus topics: The Kardashians, of course, and Twitter in China.”

The discussion was indeed wide-ranging and perhaps even more interesting given the recent developments at the social communications company that Costolo helms.

Here’s the full video of the interview that I did with the pair:
