Last GillmorGang of the year...
- Cliff Gerrish
just waiting...
- Kenny
Is Gillmor Gang the official building43 webshow?
- Mark
"an" official show, I think, Mark.
- Amyloo
Mark - Gillmor Gang is one of many "realtime" shows we hope to be presenting in 2010. Stay tuned for details!
- Rob La Gesse
I'm standing by waiting for the usual call. Should be a good show today.
- Robert Scoble
Has the secret guest(s) confirmed yet?
- Robert Scoble
Rob: have you approved the budget for our new studio? Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
It's a secret...
- Cliff Gerrish
Cliff: damn, we're all NDA'd. It's like working at Apple here!
- Robert Scoble
@scobleizer - yes - Vokle :) http://www.building43.com/videos...
- Rob La Gesse
Rob: what's your gmail address again? I got a spreadsheet to invite you into.
- Robert Scoble
I *wish* it were like working at Apple...
- Cliff Gerrish
Cool, turns out that doing a studio like what Gillmor has (multiple cameras and all that) costs about $15k. Whew. Still cheaper than old school TV studios.
- Robert Scoble
Cost us a LOT more than that. Closer to $50K. Our new studio will probably be double that. Lights, 10K, Cameras 15K, Tricaster 10K, Furniture etc 10K
- Leo Laporte
I would like to learn more about the tricaster...is it ready for prime time or still in dev.
- Jim Posner
Leo Laporte - perhaps I could buy your old studio for pesos on the dollar:)
- Rob La Gesse
Leo: yeah. You have lots of cool toys. I cut my request down a bit from your studio cause I don't need that much.
- Robert Scoble
Leo, don't forget the cost of your bouncy ball
- Mike Doeff
Its 1:01 where's the action :)
- beachpig
Leo's light panels are $2k each and I think he had three of them.
- Robert Scoble
Coming shortly, sorry for the delay. Takes a while to get everyone wired together.
- Robert Scoble
i wish ustream didnt kill my processor - my fan always runs like mad when i load up a ustream show
- Allen Stern
I'm on Skype with Gillmor, they are trying to fix various things. Please stand by...
- Robert Scoble
We've got three 1x1, 4 minis, and a bunch of micros. And we need more. The new studio will have Kino floods with litepanel highlights.
- Leo Laporte
Allen - hello! Long time. Get a 27" iMac - it's a wonderful machine!
- Rob La Gesse
Calacanis mentioned that he dropped $35K on the This Week In Startups studio. He's also using the Tricaster.
- Gregg H.
Grrrr. Paul Buchheit was supposed to be on, but is sick. I believe the other guest is still on, though.
- Robert Scoble
rob - i don't have money for that! i just look at robert's - that's enough for me :)
- Allen Stern
Gregg: yup. I don't have that much money. I think we can do a pretty interesting studio for about $15k, or a one-camera job for less than $5k.
- Robert Scoble
Will the secret guest being wearing clothes?
- Roebot
i hate to ask this but is there ever a woman on this show?
- Allen Stern
John Borthwick, investor in Twitter among other things is our secret guest.
- Robert Scoble
Allen: good question. We should have a woman on the show sometime. Who should we have on?
- Robert Scoble
Robert, you could steal Gina Trapani from This Week in Google
- Mike Doeff
yay, my favorite live show
- Vezquex
Mike: nah. We have people who make real time work. http://static.betaworks.com/work... is John Borthwick's company, for instance.
- Robert Scoble
Allen: I remember that Karoli used to be a regular on NewsGang
- Gregg H.
cheap storage
- Jim Posner
Tricaster is excellent for the price. We're replacing it with a much more expensive switcher though with more capabilities. (Our current fave is the Broadcast Pix Slate but we're still testing.)
- Leo Laporte
Gregg: newsgang isn't Gillmor Gang.
- Robert Scoble
Karoli is still a regular on NewsGang...
- Cliff Gerrish
Robert: Sometimes GillmorGang has a tendency to turn into a NewsGang
- Gregg H.
not so much of that tendency in the recent incarnation, I've noticed
- Amyloo
Gregg: when it fails. Sure. But we try to keep it focused on what's happening tomorrow in technology. That's when Gillmor Gang is much better.
- Robert Scoble
wondering if higher energy costs neutralize the benefits of cheap storage for data centers.
- Jim Posner
I agree. It's been very good lately
- Gregg H.
does solid state use less energy?
- Amyloo
seems like it might
- Amyloo
Jim: no. I don't think so. But it'll push even more people to use cloud systems which use datacenters more effectively.
- Robert Scoble
Amyloo: not necessarily.
- Robert Scoble
asset depreciation costs are driving lots of enterprise interest in cloud and virtualization.
- Jim Posner
has twitter's growth plateaued? or just the use of twitter.com. I thought tc did a story on this recently.
- Jim Posner
I agree Google's realtime implementation was cluttered and poorly done.
- Gregg H.
the google twitter integration is a HOT MESS. i was thinking of making a post about this tonight in regards to my startup
- Allen Stern
Is it me or is GG recording more and more often now.
- Roberto Bonini
The realtime desktop -- needs a new metaphor. The desktop isn't really right any more.
- Cliff Gerrish
Roberto, we try for once a week.
- Cliff Gerrish
I would love to hear what @orli, @noreaster or @padmasree would talk about, all interesing fun women :)
- Deanna McNeil
Who deems what authoritative? Sometimes the news is not the clear authority on the truth.
- beachpig
Roberto, I think it's better all the way around: more regular, stays on topic better, crisper. Part of me doesn't want it to get any slicker, though. It's just right on the slickometer now.
- Amyloo
in-house retweets are HIDDEN when you use twitter.com - basically completely useless
- Allen Stern
Robert: After trying LiveFyre yesterday I think it's a much worse experience for conversation than FriendFeed. FF is just cleaner and more functional.
- Gregg H.
I like that everyone's talking "gestures" these days.
- Cliff Gerrish
I wonder if we will ever see comments as an opt-in feature for twitter?
- Jim Posner
Cliff: I have a gesture for you!
- Robert Scoble
New retweet seems like a simple 'gesture' but it also seems to lower the bar to discovery of new interesting users. It seems like it may also have been an attempt to reduce content hijacking (by making the retweet simpler, and thus more used)
- Nick Wade
It's really a "repeat". By the way, "repeat" is what Status.net/Identi.ca labeled their implementation of retweet.
- Gregg H.
Retweet 2.0 moves it into Twitter's data set. Moving the URL into metadata will do the same thing.
- Cliff Gerrish
Hey LEO! Is the new studio definitely going to happen in the future or is it just an aspiration?
- Mark
82 million bit.ly links clicked on yesterday. Not bad!
- Robert Scoble
sorry - he means "the real time web that bitly sees" not "the full real time web"
- Allen Stern
I want to see Leo and Scoble do a show together
- Mark
I wonder what the average click through rate is per link 1% of followers.
- Jim Posner
Every week, live, with sponsors :D
- Mark
just got my Ribbit invite!
- Vezquex
The 2010 Web with Leo Laporte and Robert Scoble, live on TWiT.tv
- Mark
Avatar is just a movie. Don't talk about it.
- Vezquex
watch it in real imax, not imax lite
- Tim Jones
Avatar was Pocahantas on Steroids!
- beachpig
Is the show in 3-D now?
- Cliff Gerrish
No way.....Star Wars was a game changer in movies, we cant watch cartoons all the time. Star wars, special effects, modeling, everything was off the charts!
- beachpig
Is the technology backward compatible..will we see older films run through the 3-D process..that could be very interesting.
- Jim Posner
Loving the tribute to Ray Charles :-)
- Robert J Taylor
Seems like home 3-D is going to be the rage at CES.
- Jim Posner
And a nice BattleTech ripoff... Cameron was not original with story and character creation
- beachpig
Has the NewsGang feed (for audio Podcast consumption) been deprecated in deference to video as the base media? Or is there someone that's creates the audio "bootleg" and there's a lag on the last show (or 2?)?
- medavetoo
Dish Network is starting a 3-D channel. But there's not too much content available...
- Cliff Gerrish
medavetoo -- there's a guy named 'Jack' that makes a bootleg feed (that's the 'official' audio feed)
- Cliff Gerrish
Avatar in IMAX 3D was best movie fun I've had in the while.
- Jim Posner
I loved that Cameron underplayed 3-d fx, not pushing cheezy elements into the audience's laps
- r Macdonald
Content is always the first problem with media businesses migrating to a new delivery medium. Someone will win that battle eventually, a la iTunes and music.
- Nick Wade
Cliff - good to know thanks.
- medavetoo
android phones keeps getting better and better
- Tim Jones
Mike is right, 2-horse race now, Apple & Google; now to crack the carrier issue
- r Macdonald
How's T-Mobile going to stand up under massive internet usage?
- Cliff Gerrish
In a historic pattern: Apple created the modern Personal Computer and IBM eventually responded with the IBM PC. From a sales perspective the open platform sold the most units and drove the most industry revenue. Nexus One seems to the the open PC-like phone/communicator in my estimation.
- medavetoo
NexusOne is unlocked, but it's GSM. So there are only two carriers to choose from.
- Cliff Gerrish
The numbers Apple has generated for iPhone users is impressive but the total number of Smart Phones in 5 years will be 100x those numbers.
- medavetoo
competition in US for unlocked android phones, woo hoo
- Tim Jones
iPhone on Verizon next year?
- Vezquex
voip on a cell phone may have a trust issue re: 911
- Jim Posner
fragmentation just means choices for the consumer
- Tim Jones
your phone will send your gps coords to the 911 center, that would be cool
- Tim Jones
more on voip and 911 from the fcc http://www.fcc.gov/cgb...
- Jim Posner
eww, kindle- single use device
- Tim Jones
re Beatles-Just saw this today-They did a Coke endorsement http://members.home.nl/jpgr...
- Jim Posner
iSlate vs netbook?
- Tim Jones
The Apple tablet will be somewhere between as successful as the Newton and the Apple TV
- Gregg H.
go web!
- Vezquex
The Lala.com acquisition may make iTunes content linkable.
- Cliff Gerrish
Soon to arrive netbook swivel screen tablets with the new Pixel Qui screens will remove the need for dedicated ereader or tablet devices.
- Gregg H.
I like FriendFeed - but it looks to be dying rather quickly - http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendf...
- Rob La Gesse
Yup, Rob.
- Robert Scoble
Friendfeed works great as a twitter + client...
- Cliff Gerrish
Rob: that matches my own experience too.
- Robert Scoble
BTW, Rackspace is also proud to be a sponsor of the BigApps competition: http://www.nycbigapps.com/
- Rob La Gesse
Friendfeed's only dying in the US. Turkey's picking up the slack.
- Vezquex
curation is King!
- r Macdonald
Curation is so much less and so much more than is understood by the denizens of the web.
- Cliff Gerrish
Not one mention of Google Wave during the show. Goes to show it didn't gain much mind share.
- Jim Posner
Cliff: I guess that's accurate, less or more.
- Gregg H.
google wave is slow
- Tim Jones
Google Wave needs major work.
- Robert Scoble
curation plus application of Semantic Web principles to metadata will empower meaningful discovery & significant distribution
- r Macdonald
Rob: I believe Facebook will turn on real time in 2010 and will do away with the need for FriendFeed totally.
- Robert Scoble
Is chrome the gwave client for Android?
- Jim Posner
I feel like Google Wave is going to end up like RSS. A Backend for more innovative business processes.
- Khaled Hussein
GWave was probably one of the biggest bombs in 2009.
- Jim Posner
I wonder if it will "recover" in 2010.
- Jim Posner
GWave is great for collaboration but not much for anything else for now
- Tim Jones
facebook has search?
- Tim Jones
Thanks for another great episode!
- r Macdonald
Great episode. Great 2009.
- Mike Doeff
Awe - Steve Gillmor made me blush :) Thanks, Steve - great show!
- Rob La Gesse
Nice job!
- Michael Long
bye
- Vezquex
Sorry I missed this one; I'll have to catch the replay. Looks like it was a good show. :)
