She developed computer skills in her free time there, and after graduating from college worked for a dot-com company as a website administrator. After the company went under during the dot-com bubble burst of 2000, her friend Catherine Schwartz got her hired at TechTV in 2001, and Webb became employed as the associate producer and web researcher for ''The Screen Savers''. Throughout 2002 and 2003, she also regularly co-hosted TechTV's ''Call for Help'' with Chris Pirillo. In April 2003, Webb left ''The Screen Savers'' to co-host ''X-Play'' with Adam Sessler. Webb is one of the six TechTV personalities to survive the massive layoffs resulting from the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV. Only Adam Sessler and Webb remained with the network after G4's change in format. After Sessler's employment was terminated in April 2012,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Adam Sessler on Twitter )〕 Webb was the only original TechTV personality remaining on the network. In August 2005, Webb became a contributing game columnist for ''FHM'', alongside her regular hosting duties on ''X-Play''. Her monthly column was titled "Tips from the Gaming Goddess". Readers were encouraged to email Webb their video-game-related inquiries; she would then answer one question each month. In February 2007, Webb wrote her final column for the magazine, which discontinued its U.S. publication in March. She also hosted the short-lived ''Free Stuff'' on G4. From August 2, 2007, to January 25, 2009, Webb had a daily video blogging initiative called ''WebbAlert''. These videos were 5 to 6 minutes in length, and each consisted of a recap of popular technology news of the day. On occasion, Webb departed from the regular news format in favor of an episode on one particular topic of interest. Examples included a recap of the annual TED Conference, a viral video special showcasing "future 'Darwin Award' winners", and tech-centric "Holiday Buyer's Guides". In January 2009, Webb suspended ''WebbAlert'' indefinitely due to issues with maintaining it on a daily basis concurrently with her hosting duties on ''X-Play''. On February 25, 2009, G4 announced that Webb would be the host of their new show ''G4 Underground'', a weekly series that profiles a wide range of people and topics that are of interest to the "internet generation". It premiered March 29, 2009. After airing more than 1300 episodes, ''X-Play'' aired its final episode on January 23, 2013. From June 11, 2013 through June 13, 2013, Morgan co-anchored Microsoft's nightly ''Xbox @ E3 Live'' streaming event coverage on Xbox Live, reuniting her with former G4 personalities Kevin Pereira, Blair Herter, Jessica Chobot, Blair Butler and Tina Summerford. Morgan now works as a consultant and creative advisor for Activision Blizzard, where she also produces and hosts Blizzard's monthly World of Warcraft discussion program ''WoW Source''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morgan Webb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
