I loved the content in this video and you had great energy! Do you mind if I make a suggestion?

I think the video would look even more professional if you were to splice in clips and images from the things you were talking about. Not sure what software you’re using for editing, but even in iMovie it isn’t terribly hard to do this (the harder part is getting the video itself, but if you have a Mac then there’s iShowU and PC has some other options for screen capture).

While surely no one would complain about looking at your face for the entirety of the video, the bottom line is that I’d get the same content and effect if I just pulled the audio from your video and listened to it on an mp3 player. You see what I mean?

That’s just my two cents, take it or leave it =P Great job though overall!

@Sarah: I will admit when I am wrong and I was with this one. After re-reading, Scoble’s named was never mentioned directly. It’s all the chatter surrounding the issue that had me thinking that Twitter was directly blaming Scoble. Thanks for setting me straight on this one

@Jacob Burke: I actually didn’t feel that post was blaming users. It said that heavy users (and they didn’t use any specific names) taxed their framework. I felt like that was just them honestly stating that they weren’t built for that, IMO.

I am all for being supportive of Twitter, but due to the recent news that they are blaming users like Robert Scoble for their outages instead of their incompetence to build a scaled messaging system, I don’t feel any love for them. I am still using Twitter, but they need to take responsibility and not go blaming users for their issues. Ev & Biz are acting like babies when they go blaming users and can’t take responsibility.

@Daniel: I never read the book so unfortunately I can’t compare.
@Jim Kirks: Just booked a flight to Colorado!

Hope Choke was good. I read Chuck’s novel years ago and hope the film adaptation lives up to the book.

I want to leave a video comment.

Great stuff! I love the show and the host!

Can you come and do the news for the clip show. I will clean your house as payment?

Wow… that Harrison Ford ad was surprisingly ineffective. I’m pretty disappointed that he hardly reacted to the waxing…

RE: The Andromeda Strain – I was SO disappointed with it… they should have just played the original.

Don’t tell me the behind the scenes footage of Harrison Ford involves him being attacked by a big giant ball of hot wax. Let’s not forget the product placement, “I take Aleve when my joints are dry from boulder-running.”

Like we are all going to avoid twitter when it comes back and works right! We are all in for the long haul
