Timothy Pool is an American online journalist from Chicago, Illinois.[2] His unique 21-hour marathon reporting on the Ustream channel "TheOther99" earned him fame during the the Occupy Wall Street protests. Utilizing a unique style of first-hand reporting and insightful commentary, Pool's reputation spread quickly across social and mainstream media. Pool broadcasts using his 4G Samsung Galaxy SII.
In the early hours of November 15, the NYPD and city sanitation workers were brought in to remove all occupants and their belongings from Zuccotti Park by order of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. All media was barred from filming the raid.[7] After occupants of the park were forcibly evicted Pool began a broadcast marathon reporting on the marches and general assemblies going on around him in the city's streets.
In a matter of hours, Tim's viewer count had skyrocketed to nearly 13,000 simultaneous viewers.[8]
At around 6am attorneys associated with the New York City Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild obtained a temporary restraining order against the City of New York, Brookfield Office Properties Inc., and various other city agencies ordering the occupiers be allowed back into Zuccotti Park along with their belongings. A hearing was set for 11:30am by Justice Lucy Billings.[9] It was not until after 5:30pm that the occupiers were let back in to Zuccotti Park, though officers would not let large bags, sleeping bags, blankets, or any other materials that could be used for camping back into the park.[10] A rumored 10pm curfew of Zuccotti Park was not enforced.
After nearly 21 hours of continuous reporting, Tim Pool ended the broadcast shortly after 10:30pm Tuesday night. By morning, Tim was on the front page of a half dozen major news websites around the world, including MSNBC and TIME.com

tim's nonstop coverage all day thursday was the best, up close, and tireless coverage ive seen. also, the quality and uninterupted feed was unchallenge. as a side note, tim, please tell OWS to be more transparent with the funds they raise being "leaderless" it begs the question when adbusters said they were gonna scale back and declare victory.. makes us think about donated. id donate way more but the lack of transparency needs to get to OWS. great job tim.
