Heroes star, iPhone app developer to auction video chat session
Posted 03/06/2009 at 2:32:20am | by Jason Whong

Greg Grunberg (Humanety.com)

Greg Grunberg knows how to stay busy. In addition to starring as Matt Parkman in NBC's Heroes, he's also getting ready to launch an iPhone app as a co-founder of Yowza!!. When he's not at work, he also plays drums in the TV star charity cover band Band from TV, which he also-co-founded. Now, he's got another charity project on his plate: he's auctioning off 30 minutes of video chat time to benefit the Epilepsy Foundation of America.

The auction will be held March 26, 2009 on humanety.com, a web site that auctions video chat sessions with people that would otherwise be hard to meet. Listed among the "humanetarians" who have also offered one-on-one chats are The Guild writer, producer and actress Felicia Day; GizWiz founder and MAD Magazine writer Dick DeBartolo; Wine Library entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, and others.

Though Grunberg in January pre-announced it to his followers on Twitter as an iChat session, the humanety web site isn't as specific, noting only that the winning bidders need a Mac or a PC. We're willing to bet Grunny will go with iChat if the winner is a Mac user. (No word on whether he can also mind-control you during the session.)

We prefer to use iChat for our sessions, but - sadly - not everyone has a Mac. So, we sometimes must use other VC tools that have clients for other platforms (such as ooVoo).

As for the mind control, that's all up to Grunny.
