He pumped up their live broadcasts on Ustream's Twitter feed. Kazerooni built buzz for the site by pursuing all kinds of celebrities, from bloggers to musicians, as some of its first users. Joanna Dorfman is the site editor at Ustream, the startup that gave Kazerooni his first job. "Now, there's a lot of attention being paid to what's happening online," he says.

But his fan base has continued to grow, thanks to his digital strategy.
