For 15 years, “06880” has been where Westport meets the world.
We’ve done it mostly through the written word.
A couple of years ago we added a podcast, thanks to the Westport Library’s great Verso Studios.
Occasionally, we’ve included student-produced “06880 on the Go” video.
Now we’re upping our Instagram game.
Big-time.
Longtime Westporter Dave Briggs — a nationally known broadcaster (CNN, NBC Sports, Fox News and Turner Sports), with a passion for local merchants, restaurants and organizations — heads up the project.
He’s an Instagram pro.
The goal is to help local businesses tell their stories. Each week he’ll interview a different retail store, restaurant, home builder, fitness establishment, etc.

Dave’s very informative and entertaining Instagram reels, stories and IG Live interviews will live on our “06880” Instagram feed (“06880danwoog”), this blog (via the “Video” tab) and the app, and be posted on Briggs’ feed (“DaveBriggsTV”). He’ll follow up daily with stories about that week’s feature.
As with all things “06880,” this is a community effort. So we want you to choose the name.
Which do you prefer: “Vide06880” or “0688Vide0“? Click “Comments” below — or vote in the Instagram poll.
We kick off our new feature with JL Rocks. Dave chatted with owner Jamie Camche about her Mother’s Day offerings. (It’s this Sunday, in case you forgot!)

Vide06880 seems a lot easier to remember and type than breaking up the numbers. Congrats on the new medium!
Pretty close but I like 0688Video . Nice channeling you inner Warner Wolf in the title!
Vide06880
0688vide0, without a doubt
I vote for Vide06880

@06880video – much better than @vIdeo06880 because it’ll come up faster on an instagram search and it goes with your blog name.
Oops. 0688vide0
0688vide0 for sure!
Video is spelled with a 0 and not an o. That’s what makes it so clever 0688vide0.
@o688ovideo
VIDEO6880‼️for sure

Vide06880
vide06880. The 0688vide0 is awkward and 0688 as a prefix means nothing.

If Ciara Webster is not one of the first local business owners not featured it would be a tremendous disservice to all who enjoy her online rants.
Poor Dave.
Online rants ? How about online FACTS !
Always trying to educate 🙂
Ha ! Thanks Barbara, but being interviewed by one of the DPIC members whose sole purpose was to destroy downtown business… I think not. It would be like an interview with satan himself.
I am sure Dave Briggs knows better than to knock on my door 🙂
I like 0688vide0 best, but both are good. In other words, you can’t go wrong.

How about “06880 video.” Use a space. We are civilized.

Great idea Dan!
Best wishes on your new venture!
