Diggnation calls it Quits

Posted onAuthorTruXter


Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht call it quits.
Again.
So by the time one of the guys shaves their beard, the show will end and there will be no more Diggnation.
Diggnation was the forefront and pilot of internet media . This was the media that came from guys like you and I. This is a show from nothing that got sponsors by looking around the web saying “hey we get this many viewers, want us to mention you on the show??”.
Once Diggnation is gone, there will be no replacement. There will be no revival. because far as internet entertainment goes, nothing comes back to life successfully. and we lose interest and inspiration fast.

So.. farewell diggnation. I hope the rest of the crew at Revision 3 are smart enough to cut loss and sell everything to LEo from twit.tv while it’s still usable, and not wait until it’s worthless and bankrupt.
Tekzilla needs to be on the twit network.

So much for “new media”

Tech Podcasts to start out August Work Schedule

Posted onAuthorTech News

Every week every day I have to start out listening to my shows. I start with sdr then move to the tech guythen caffination and then twit. Through out the week I pick out the rest.  Following week, I start all over. Occasionally I get lucky  and Jobacle has a new episode. If you send topic requests, he might actually research the topic and hook you up.  Really well done program, just not enough of it there.  The unsigned musicians portion of the show really is good stuff, most of time!

Twit This Week In Tech, a network created by Leo Laporte. Shows I highlight that I must listen to every week.

The Tech Guy, Net@Nite,TWIT.

Tech Podcast Network Place to hear tech podcasts and select from a few. sdr, linux news log, Mike Tech, CaffiNation,

Podnutz A gathering of tech podcasts on one network. pretty good stuff.

At the top of every page on the tech news site, there is a tool bar, you don’t have to use it but it does already have the podcasts I listed here in the rss feed and the radio player. I use that tool bar on my bootable linux thumb drive, my home pc, my laptop, my work pc , scanned a million times over  there is nothing to fear from that bar it really is very useful. but again, you o not have to use  it to try the podcasts I listed.

Digg Needs a Twitter

Posted onAuthorTech News

Digg.com, Has been an internet Leviathan for a couple of three years. It has been mimicked and cloned .but those who  try and use some of that idea, miss the one big selling point of digg.com. You get news out before anyone. (If Kevin read this far, the gears would be cranking in his already and he probably would be off building this). Everyone gets to see your post become the most popular and you get to claim some forgotten pride of producing this piece of information to the world of the less informed.

Twitter does that also. In tiny little squirts. You can become a known source of information and become dependable, at a faster pace than what digg allows you now. Digg has (for good reason) locked out all easily detectable spam methods, by slowing down the process in which you submit and verify your news. Understandable, because it was getting bad.

What twitter has that digg needs, is a phone texting measure, and a way to submit images. You can be on scene and send pictures, videos, audio instantly as news happens. You can get this to the public faster than if you sent it to some news station where “Brad” the smiley plastic head gets the credit for your work and find.. What would be the motive for doing this??

Well Chris Pirillo and his http://www.lockergnome.com/ Allows you (as I do here on my site also) to embed your adsense code into your main page of the site, allowing you to generate  well deserved income from your works. Letting you establish  an income from your credible reports. Believe me if you post junk, people stop taking you serious.

That’s what Digg can do with a Simi Twitter idea.

Let’s say it’s a twitter motivated idea.

Kevin And Alex Set Women Right

Posted onAuthorTruXter

I am sure we have all come into this situation, well I know I have at least five times in the past ten years.

The current girlfriend walks in while you are booting up the game that you have been wanting to play all week. This is your first day off in a week and you have been wanting to play this game, you have set today aside for this game. The girlfriend when she walks in says “come on let’s go I have to buy some lotion for my mom and my sister and I have to go pay my cell phone bill and I was hoping we could go have lunch at Outback”. You tell her in your whiny boyfriend voice ” but I wanna play a game”. You see the vein shoot up in her forehead because some clown she used to date blah blah blah or her brother blah blah blah. Now mind you I have broken up with at least four girls because of this situation and am about to do it again.

She tells you that what you are doing is unproductive and what she wants to do is actually productive. You have no response that would keep your relationship good, but many that would piss her off pretty bad. So you say nothing and hit the pause button while your brain scrambles to make her see what you want her to see. Does not matter she will not understand. You are truly with the wrong person.

Here, watch this.
