Top Ten Podcasters of the Year: TruXter’s Choice

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Well the year has brought so much news to the tech world, Via podcasts. Since that is a media source, TruXter tech Review will list the choice of podcasters for 2009. From tenth place down to the number one spot.

These podcasts are not necessarily  all tech, it’s the means in which this media is brought to us that makes it tech. There is great talent and tons of devotion in these people, that is why they are making the list. There are some that are very talented but had no devotion or motivation to carry on this year as they had in the past years. So this year they will not be making it to this list. Some are great talent but a bit slacking this year so their scoring isn’t as wonderful as it could be. This post is not to bash, but show apreciation, keep that in mind if your or your favorite podcaster is not in the top 2.

There will be no award that can be given other than readers of this site, a chance to listen to the media on the podcaster’s site. So i hope they enjoy the notoriety, no matter how small the traffic might be or low the number of interested link followers their are.Well without further  blathering, this is the list of 2009’s podcasters we hope to hear more from during 2010.

If you know someone with a podcast that should have made the list, leave their link. If it’s your link please let me know. i will gladly listen to more than one episode. probably every episode you do within 2010. Just respond to this post.

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.

Leo Laporte Dropping IRC CHatroom?

Posted onAuthorPoit388

Last Night after the recording of T.W.I.T. Leo Mentioned something of this.

Some of the chatroom whent nuts, the rest had o/s wars.

As long as i have known Leo, his chatrooms have been the backbone of grey cells.

We the chatters have been a group, collabrative effort to keep his show informative so we ourselves can continue to learn from him and each other. The ability to interact with him is the best part. To some day have your screen name mentioned on the show. but it looks as if he is about to uproot himself.

I truly hope he has a good plan.

Sarah Lane has a her own Chickapedia

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Well at least the freaks and stalkers did her some justice.
By not stalking her to get more information than what she
wants to release. Like some vigilant Internet Paparazzi.

Sarah Lane Chickapidia
They left out some important facts about her that could
be listed or displayed to further help her career though.
Like the line that says “dudes She’s worked with”
Really needs to list
Kevin Pereira (lol I forgot his name had to google him) From “Attack of the show”.
Adam Sessler From “Extended Play” now known as “Xplay”.
Leo Laporte The backbone to the real “The Screen Savers”.
Alex Albrecht Short term nail in the coffin for “The Screen Savers”

Her whole intermingling with chatrooms while The shows she was on
was probably the biggest reason that all chatrooms show related
that ran during live airing and recording would pack with so many people
who just want to talk to a member of the show. She was the niche
that put it all together. Along with many other reason’s their shows
took off, she was of the largest addiction. (not to give her to big of a head)

The line that says her body of work. needs to say “The Screen Savers” because “screen savers” sounds like she worked for a spam site.

To counter the “Twit” Acronym, It would be amazing if She and amber mac
and Colleen (if you do not know, then you are to far out) put together
a show called “Wit” women in Tech or “Lit” Ladies in tech.
I guess “Chit” wouldn’t be cool.
