www.twit.tv/live

I finally did it.  I’ve had the computer hooked up to the TV for a long time, but yesterday while cleaning house, I brought up twit.tv and set it to live and watched it most of the day.  I never get tired of hearing Leo Laporte talk about the latest technology.  And what great technology there is!  Apple has some kind of new solid state drive available with 10 gigabit transfer rates and you can hook four of them together in a RAID 0+1 (or 1+0) or something like that.  I don’t have an Apple or $2,000 to go out and get the drives, but I admit, it sure sounds exciting.  Just amagine what will be available in 10 years?

• 11:04 The Superbowl ads on Hulu are…. sponsored by other ads. Now that’s monetization. #
• 19:00 @mashable What are you talking about? You were fantastic on TWiT – we’ll have you on whenever you want! #
• 01:06 @blackneuron The box that serves the TWiT podcasts, leo.am, is currently down. A RAID drive failed. Softlayer is replacing it. Back soon. #

• 10:42 Also from Hacker News: add "pwn" to YouTube (e.g. pwnyoutube.com) to download any video. bit.ly/hi50 – Don’t all click at once now. #
• 10:59 OK true. Twitter broke the Google story first – as with pretty everything. Twitter is the new place to go when you need to know. #

• 17:16 @geneshifter I do tweet whenever we’re about to start broadcasting on TWiT Live, but not on this account. Follow @twitlive. Thanks! #

• 12:45 Using Windows 7 beta? Me, too. Love it – but there’s a security flaw. I’ve blogged the easy fix: bit.ly/meXg #
• 18:57 @danielpunkass bit.ly seems to be pulling ahead due to its stats gathering. E.g. I know 5,000 people clicked pm the link from my last tweet. #
• 19:01 @wilw be on TWiT Sunday? I’m only having people from the Forbes 25 list. We’ll be using gold-plated USB headsets. #
• 19:21 @LostInaFog I’ve been meaning to post a comment on Cuban’s post. Simply, Internet broadcasting is about audience quality not quantity. #
• 21:49 It was so nice having dinner with Martin and Sarah after TWiF tonight. It felt a little like the good old days. #

• 08:51 @dbeaupre I do love me some Windows 7. I’m sticking with Vista on this machine because I want to play BluRay discs. How’s 7 for that? #
• 08:55 @Advocacy4change I fully agree. That’s why I’ve launched my "Release Windows 7 Now!" campaign on my shows. It’s time! #
• 08:58 @peabers DriveSnapShot at drivesnapshot.de – it’s my favorite Ghost replacement. #
• 09:00 @ivanneto You’re very welcome. I love Blogo on the Mac! www.drinkbrainjuice.com/blogo #
• 09:01 @gongzero I’m playing with Digsby. I’m a long-time Trillian Pro user. Is Digsby better? Not as attractive I think. #
• 09:06 @willplatnick I’ve asked for access to the Trillian Astra beta. Maybe they’ll recognize my name. #
• 09:14 @trillianastra Hook a brutha up. Long time Trillian Pro user looking for best Windows multi-server IM client. Beta request sent. thx! #
• 09:15 @stevejk Gee I don’t know – Windows 7 seems to work with everything I throw at it. I think it’s done now. #
• 09:26 @ch1v4lry The driver model in 7 is the same as Vista – almost everything I’ve tried works fine. I don’t think we’re going to see issues. #
• 09:39 @loic Everyone on TWiT Army uses Twhirl – and I love the new beta! #Laconica support is key for me. #
• 09:41 @tobiaslind @iJustine suggested a subtle Twitter revenue model: remove the rel=nofollow tags for companies who want to build Google juice. #
• 09:42 @sarno Tweetdeck takes up too much desktop space for me. I do like groups and built-in search though. #
• 09:43 @chrisutley Visit army.twit.tv – it’s a Laconica instance. Works with Twhirl, too. #
• 09:49 @PodcastJunky Yup. Fee based works only for a few. TWiT is ad & donation suported and thriving. You do need aggregation for ads to work, tho #
• 10:05 @chrispt Not yet, but I think I’m going to use Pidgin for now. Simple interface. IRC support. I’ve got Twhirl for Twitter. #
• 10:08 @WardLabs See an earlier tweet from me re: the Carbonite issue #
• 10:09 @gryffyn What IS the best Windows email client? Outlook is overkill. Live Mail is a bit quirky. Is there anyone else left in the space? #
• 10:24 @WardLabs Some leads come in the door. But for the most part we rely on Podtrac for finding sponsors for TWiT. They’ve been fantastic. #
• 15:01 @CohenJordan You’re assuming Windows 7 being held back for technical reasons. What if it’s just for marketing reasons? #
• 15:03 @mycenaen Congratulations on your first Tweet! Welcome to the real-time web. Please keep your hands and feet inside the feed at all times. #
• 20:15 @chrissnipes If you’re an Audible member, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is free at audible.com/twithabits Enjoy! #
• 20:21 @Corpsman_Com All my mics wear Heil… or they wear nothing at all. heilsound.com #
• 20:24 @bithaze I use Fastmail actually. Love it. Looking for the best Windows IMAP client to use with it. #
• 20:26 @jgderuvo Actually twitstuffstore.com is selling licensed merch The designer, Lori LeBeau-Walsh does our album art. She’s great! #
• 20:30 @doug_hilton Atlas Shrugged! Of course – that would be 50 hours. It’s 1000 pages of blather. I ♥ Dagny Taggart. #
• 20:38 Twitter infrastructure is trembling. My follow count hasn’t changed in 7 days. Just got a fail whale. And some of my tweets are going astray #

• 08:16 Love this new Dell Studio 16. I’m finishing setup. Before I burn an image, what must-have Windows programs have I missed? (Vista 64-bit) #
• 08:19 @itf Carbonite says they’ve had policies in place since 2007 to prevent recurrence. "Over zealous" employees have apologized. It was 2006! #
• 08:20 @MarkLancaster Digsby looks sweet. Thanks for the tip! #

• 12:50 @trevorevans Emoji’s are not in the ASCII or Unicode set. Unlike Twitterkeys they’re in color. The Japanese carriers defined the standard. #
• 12:51 @mbrickman7 Windows 7 is everything Vista should have been and less. Runs great on my MSI Wind and Dell M1210. #
• 13:10 @davewiner Or how about an open-source Jaiku running on Google App Engine? #
• 13:15 @pierskarsenbarg Going forward I say focus on the micro-messaging side, not the micro-blogging side. Start with XMPP, then presentation(s). #
• 18:48 We’ve fixed TWiT 179 as best we can. You can download the updated version at twit.tv/179. There’s still some phasing but it’s better. #
• 18:49 @rickm1350 I don’t handle the relay timing – you’ll have to call Premiere about that. Thanks for carrying The Tech Guy! #
• 18:50 @inferno10 Thanks for the Lucca’s meatball sangwich. I’m still burping garlic!! You’ve set a new standard for baksheesh from visitors! #
• 18:51 @davewiner Agreed. But because Jaiku is going open-source I’d guess we could run it on anything, including EC2. #
• 18:52 @F_Prefect My apologies. The criticism was against the marketing, not the military – at least in my case. I deeply appreciate your service. #
• 19:07 BMUG’s having a reunion for Mac’s 25th on Thursday night? I’m so there! upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1516528/ #
• 19:12 @jpickell Think of it as job security. #
• 19:40 @ellerbestyle I think the criticism was aimed at the marketing dept, not the service itself. I think the world of the people who serve. #
• 21:47 RT @sarahlane: "If you missed THIS WEEK in FUN Episode 3 last week, here’s the vid. bit.ly/vvtA. New live show this Fri, 3 pm PST!" #
• 02:52 I just love the bit.ly Preview Firefox plugin with Twitter. I can hover over URLs, Twitpics and names to get more info. bit.ly/4yhh3W #
