Alx Klive is a respected futurist, inventor, entrepreneur and journalist.

Growing up in London he ran a series of businesses while still at school, including a mobile disco, a software company (for the Commodore VIC-20), and a pirate radio station. Later he worked at the infamous Mud Club (London's answer to Studio 54).

At 21 he travelled to North America where he began organizing large scale events, raves and concerts. At one event on New Year's Eve 1992, he hired a satellite truck and camera crew, flew his DJ's to London, and broadcast back to partygoers in Toronto from a party in England. His penchant for doing unusual things with broadcasting was set.

Following a DJ appearance on North American dance music TV show Electric Circus, he convinced the producer to hire him. The only job available was controlling the show's on-screen graphics and he quickly taught himself by reading the machine's complex manual in a single night. Later he moved into news, becoming an Assignment Editor, and then one of an elite band of 'Videographers' - people who combine the role of reporter, cameraman, editor, and producer into one.

It was in this role that he travelled the world for three years, interviewing the likes of Dennis Hopper, Hilary Clinton, Isabella Rosellini, Andrea Bocelli, The Fugees, Diana Ross, Jeff Bezos, Sheryl Crow, The Bee Gees, and others. In one incident in Colorado, writer Hunter S. Thompson turned up for his interview with Alx, and promptly tried to run him over in his jeep. Having survived this attempt on his life, and with Thompson resisting all attempts to give an interview, he produced a bottle of Chivas Regal, which the two of them drunk, resulting in the needed footage. The interview was broadcast on Bravo TV in North America, and represented the first time they'd ever run subtitles for somebody speaking English.

Picking up an idea he'd conceived three years earlier, he left his job in 1998 and began working on WorldTV.com. He wrote a business plan for a 'global Internet news and content network produced by amateur videographers from around the world'. Years later, user generated content and cilvilian journalist networks are all the rage.

Having raised $5 million in venture capital he later turned down the money when it became clear the Internet bubble was about to burst. He shelved his plans, vowing to relaunch WorldTV at a later date.

In its place he conceived an idea to document the turning of the Millennium through photographs. Self-financed, and with a staff of just two volunteers, he created a website inviting photographers from around the world to participate in the 'Millennium Photo Project'. His idea was to create a coffee-table book documenting the 24 hours at the turning of the Millennium.

Dawn of the 21st Century featured amateur photographers from 117 countries and became the largest photojournalism project in history. It received widespread media attention, including articles in the Wall Street Journal and USA Today, and appearances on ABC, CBS, FOX and CNN.

Returning to the UK in 2001 he began working as an ideas consultant and as a technology reporter for CNBC Europe. He has filed several US patents, likes conceptualizing user interfaces, and believes that some things should be free.

Ten years on from his original idea, he is now relaunching WorldTV. You too can be a part of it...
