Gillmor Gang recording live http://www.building43.com/realtim...
Time for the Gillmor Gang
- Mark
sounds good from remote
- Susan Beebe
I'm on Skype now, if you guys want to call me in.
- Robert Scoble
Skype is not working for me. It just hung up.
- Robert Scoble
Lol.
- Mark
yikes
- Susan Beebe
wow
- Chris Jackson
Looks like the show isn't going to happen today.
- Robert Scoble
Leo Laporte, come back, all is forgiven
- Mark
On skype, should I call in via calliflower?
- Kevin Marks
nope, sad ....
- Susan Beebe
Too bad.
- Dan Weinstein
We'll reschedule it. It's really tough to get skype and phones working together.
- Robert Scoble
Sorry to hear...technology can be wonderful and a disaster.
- Jim Posner
Remember this is a live recording of a show - and if the recording doesn't go well, the show doesn't go.
- Rob La Gesse
should do a trial test before showtime to run sound / video tests
- Susan Beebe
Rob, yup. Can you work with me on my Skype? It went into a loop and crashed my system. That might have been what took down the Skype.
- Robert Scoble
reherse
- TranceMist
This didn't happen when Leo produced it.
- Mark
Susan, we do, but Skype with four machines is very brittle for some reason.
- Robert Scoble
again? didn't this happen two weeks ago :(
- Jake Smith
Rackspace’s iPhone developer reveals what’s inside the iPad SDK <---- I will watch this video instead
- Mark
Mark: Leo has a $50,000 studio and more than 10 staff members to make stuff happen behind the scenes. He also uses his Skype machines all day long.
- Robert Scoble
It's not just us? *whew!*
- Josh Haley
Leo never produced the show. He hosted it for a short time. Steve produces the show - and as a sponsor, I stand behind him 100%
- Rob La Gesse
Robert FTW :D
- Jake Smith
Also, Leo generally wasn't trying to mix so many people together with both Skype and telephone.
- Robert Scoble
Robert- How is your studio coming along?
- Jim Posner
Jim: we just bought the microphones and audio board. Slowly but surely.
- Robert Scoble
which mics?
- Jim Posner
Jim: we got some from Blue Microphones.
- Robert Scoble
Rob: Skype on my machine just locks up when it receives a call. I bet that's what took down the show. Back to Macs! Sigh.
- Robert Scoble
I heard great things about Blue @ CES..look forward to hearing how they sound.
- Jim Posner
Love my Blue microphone. With a NADY pop filter it's sweet!
- Alex de Soto
@Robert -I've had Skype issues all day as well. Normally it just works.
- Rob La Gesse
Robert who won the Kindle
- Jake Smith
I wonder why Rackspace doesn't sponsor TWiT Live
- Mark
Huge tech audience, they had 150000 concurrent viewers last week at the Apple Event.
- Mark
I think I just got closer to buying an iPad - today ATT approved the SlingPlayer app to stream video over 3G. Nice. Love my SlingBox - best tech I bought in the last 5 years.
- Rob La Gesse
@Mark - because Leo has not returned my calls :)
- Rob La Gesse
Danny Sullivan had quite a take down of Mahalo recently. I hope they reschedule the show so he can discuss it.
- Jim Posner
Leo is insane then. But seriously he has someone in charge of the ads so that person isn't diong their job right. Leo gets INSANE ROI for advertisers. Some of them have advertised non-stop on his network for several years.
- Mark
But it's not about the number of viewers - that's old-mindset (think banner ads). Now it is about engagement level, and influence. NOT pure head count.
- Rob La Gesse
I don't understand Mahalo, why not just Vark?
- Jake Smith
Leo is so good at selling products, Bill O'Reilly used him as a template for delivering adverts on his radio show. Amazingly true story.
- Mark
Robert - oh, bummer Skype didn't work out today... too bad there's not a more stable platform for VoIP con calls. What about TinyChat?
- Susan Beebe
Can't wait for the Robert Scoble Show.
- Mark
I don't get Mahalo as well. Not sure of the intended audience maybe it is the old AOL demographic.
- Jim Posner
Mark: I doubt I'd do a regular show, but think of http://youtube.com/scobleizer but with more live videos.
- Robert Scoble
wondering if Steve GG could re-attempt show later, say tomorrow ?
- Susan Beebe
Susan: that's usually what happens. I'm open tomorrow afternoon.
- Robert Scoble
You need to use Vidyo!
- Jake Smith
Robert - yea, I bet your travel schedule would preclude any regularly scheduled shows, but video is smart idea (lacks engagement of audience, but still has a ton of value). Perhaps do a show on an ad hoc schedule, just announce it a bit in advance whenever you can
- Susan Beebe
Looking forward to see your new videos Robert
- Alex
Robert-Wondering what you thought of the D. Brass piece about Microsoft in the NYT today on creative destruction..
- Jim Posner
Jake: I'm definitely looking into Vidyo. One problem is it's $7,000 to get a box. But they are offering us some free trials.
- Robert Scoble
I forgot about the price aha
- Jake Smith
Bill Hill blogged about it too, says he spent ten years at microsoft overcoming the politics which exist in the Windows team. Took him ten years to get Cleartype shipped properly.
- Mark
Jim: that piece was right on.
- Robert Scoble
Microsoft is pictured as a mess, one department not talkign to another. Lots of shit going on .
- Mark
On Todays Windows Weekly podcast they cover it in depth with Mary Jo Foley as spcecial guest.
- Mark
Suffice it to say, without Office and Windows on DVD's Microsoft would be in trouble.
- Mark
I am really hoping MS steps up to the challenge. Just bought a Dell Windows 7 box and happy to report that Windows 7 is much better than Vista. (I know-not hard to do.)
- Jim Posner
Bill Hill claims Apple's success is because they produce consumer devices, and Microsoft produces COMPUTING devices
- Mark
Skype is screwy. REally messed up right now.
- Robert Scoble
Whats it doing weird?
- Jake Smith
They must be trying new subliminal recording technology :-)
- Todd Hoff
I was looking forward to seeing this today.. Any news on whether it will be rescheduled Robert?
- Kevin Costain
I'm trying to find out, will let you know if it does get rescheduled.
- Robert Scoble
It has been rescheduled for 1 p.m. Pacific Time tomorrow (Friday).
- Robert Scoble
Great.Thank you Robert
- Alex
Thanks Robert!
- Kevin Costain
re-recording now?
- Jake Smith
strange getting tweets about this
- Paul E. Ester
5 hours old
- Paul E. Ester
Very weird that my tweet was sent out hours late. We are redoing tomorrow at 1 pm.
- Robert Scoble
By the way Rob LaGesse is NOT the CEO of Rackspace.
- Robert Scoble
hey when Rob used to help me - to me he was the CEO and he rocked :)
- Allen Stern
:) I am not the CEO - not my bag of tea. But Allen - thanks - much. You've been a great friend.
- Rob La Gesse
