I'm pleased to announce that when the Gillmor Gang returns this Thursday at 1PM Pacific, it will be sponsored by Rackspace and streamed live on Building43's new RealTime Network channel. We'll be doing some testing between now and then. First up is my conversation with FriendFeed-->Facebook's Paul Buchheit. MG Siegler's summary is here:...
Sweetness! - Stephen Pickering
Steve thank you for doing this! The world is a very dull place without the gang! - Michael Pinto
Great to see The Gillmor Gang returning to the Interwebs! :) Will the episodes be available as audio and/or video podcasts for later downloading? Just in case I miss the live show... - Daniel Chow
Will the Gillmor Gang be available as a mp3 download via podcast feed? - Christian Burns
PS Remember what we learned from Jason: Make it a point to tweet a thank you to @Rackspace - Michael Pinto
:) Thanks, Michael. Rackspace is very pleased to help bring Gillmor Gang back to the 'tubes! - Rob La Gesse
Rack 'em up. It's game on! - Micah
Heck, yeah! - Scott Greiff
Hope to see it available for download. - Dan Cameron
Yay, I am so glad to that GG is back!! Wooo hoooo! - Susan Beebe
Glad the show is coming back and nice job on storming the castle for the Buchheit interview. - Mark Krynsky
Looking forward to it... - Wayne Sutton
wonderful; and thanks rackspace - Non Perturbative
GG Wikipedia page updated. :) - Alex Harden
Glad to see this who back on the air - Fred Grott
Since Steve never seems to respond to download questions can someone be sure to record it and torrent it or such, I've never understood the whole "real time is the new black if you're not here to catch the show live tough shit" unspoken message that seems to have been going on for awhile. I can't be the only one put off by this, the content is compelling, so I put up with it, I wish I had the willpower to not listen out of protest. :) - Michael Breslin
i agree. or put it on the bootleg feed - Sebastian Keil
Could you record the video of the show and post it on your Youtube account? - Charbax
Michael, I have responded. The shows will be published on YouTube and made available for download. - Steve Gillmor
SCREW YOU Scoble...SCREW YOU!!! - zxspectrum
Good to know Steve, I've seen the question asked so many times and never answered, I must have missed the time you did answer, my mistake, bottom line: I think the GG is the best thing on my ipod and when I can't get it on there and can't catch the show due to work it sucks. :) - Michael Breslin
I commend Steve for his dogged pursuit of the Real time Web aka Infinity Chip, though it is brutally painful at times to follow and/or be part of every step along the way. I too vote for a nice simple "old school" rss feed for the audio only recording. Then again, I am probably missing the point. - Jason Adams
Jason: only that the Gang is returning on video. Today I listened to a video cast of Meet the Press in the car, worked beautifully, and when I wanted to see the last few minutes of Kennedy footage, rewound and watched. Whether it is delivered by RSS or streaming is up to the user. In fact, it was easier to download directly via iPhone iTunes than synching the phone to the RSS feed on the Mac. Interestingly, it continues to download in the background while I go through email. - Steve Gillmor
Was that Meet the Press video cast live? The issue of video versus audio is moot for me, if I don't feel like watching I don't have to, it's the time shifted aspect that people are always asking for Steve. It seems you're commited to get the show in downloadable form and that's all I was ever asking for. That the show is now in video format is great for many, I generally listen to the majority of content I consume (even if its format is video). Thanks again, can't wait for today's GG! - Michael Breslin
