I do watch some of the edited ones by Rocky. Podtech is by and large a huge snore to me, sorry for being honest.<br><br>So no, I don't watch overly long videos on the web unless they are shot in full HD or tell a story. If I'm going to watch something longer than a few minutes, I'll watch it on the TV. You meet some cool people, I'll give you that, but you still don't use the medium (sorry). I've told you that before, no sense repeating myself.<br><br>As for the almost million downloads number. While that's an impressive number, how many of those are machines and real viewers? It's the whole podcast \"who's listening\" thing all over again. You have a huge audience, nobody is saying you don't, but it's in a very small niche.<br><br>(and now you'll tell me it isn't how many, it's WHO is watching, got that too)<br><br>None of this should dissuade you from keeping the fight going, Robert.

I knew you shot them in HD.<br><br>And please don\'t put words in my mouth, that\'s a lame debate tactic. Robert, I never said I got "nothing out of your videos." I said they were overly long and don\'t use the medium. This is very subjective. You don\'t get to tell me what\'s good or bad, Robert. Nor do I get to tell you what you feel is good or bad. That\'s the breaks in art :)<br><br>Pick your five best long videos (please don\'t choose overly commercial ones) to date that actually use the medium. I\'ll download, watch and provide you with detailed feedback -- at my leisure. You\'ll score points if I can see the videos in full HD and not some crippled compressed version.<br><br>During the busy business day I can cover a lot more (text, audio and short vids) in the same time I would have to pay attention to even one of your videos, which is why I don\'t -- and frankly can\'t -- watch every one of them. Sorry, no single source is that important. Not the NYT, MTV, Podtech, nobody.<br><br>I encouraged you back in January of this year to open license your raw footage so others can mash the good parts. Since that time you brought on Rocky to help with editing which is great, thank you. That has helped me experience more of your videos.<br><br>But what about other editors than Rocky? What about some guy or gal in their garage (like the Google guys once were) somewhere? Maybe they can make a brilliant mix of your latest, greatest video and share something brilliant beyond what a paid in house editor can do?<br><br>I\'m saying you can have the greatest content in the world, but if it\'s not mixed down, mastered and packaged, it\'s not going to talk to the masses. If that\'s ok that you produce 20+ minute outtake versions of Freebird, by all means keep doing it, mon.<br><br>I\'m just one person on the web who thinks that more than one editor\'s viewpoint would be worthwhile. I am glad that you have at least one editor though :) License, encourage and promote others to mash your raw footage and then see what happens. Then you\'ll know what happens.<br><br>Check out Tay Zonday\'s "Chocolate Rain" video. Over 10 million YouTube views and counting. Very viral. Mixed and mashed and shared millions of times over. Encourage others to do the same with your raw footage.<br><br>Remember how Channel 9 has that feature that allows clipping videos. I found that feature very useful for videos like the ones you shoot. Maybe Podtech could add that feature?</div>\

The answer is, he couldn\'t with a truly professional publication.  Which begs the question: Why does Arrington keep him around when he\'s obviously a stain on TechCrunch\'s credibility??

Duncan doesn\'t seem to understand that TechCrunch carries more weight in the industry than BS blogs like FSJ and Valleywag. People take TechCrunch seriously and this harms your and PodTech\'s image. Just another reason that I think Duncan is a terrible reporter and only lowers TechCrunch\'s viability as a "real" news source. I hope you consider alternative blog news sources instead of giving TechCrunch links on your blog and link blog. You, with your large PageRank, can make a real difference in how many people read this crap.<br><br>BTW, more power to you for making something profitable. I run a small business and wouldn\'t take kindly to anyone suggesting I open my books to "prove" that I\'m profitable.

I think that PodTech needs to improve in many areas but I don\'t think that they are dying.  In fact it seems that alot of people care to talk about them.  Some ideas to work on PodTech:  1) start blogging add to Roberts voice some good writers, 2) do a good tech show in video - a weekly show and possibly a daily, 3) fix the site - make it a tech media property already.  PodTech has proven that it knows how to work with smart leading marketers now please add some media to the video.  I want text, audio, and video.  You do that you have a winner.</div>\

How the news spread is remarkable and somewhat alarming -- I saw it on FSJ and then watched several other more reputable feeds that I follow report the "news" citing FSJ as their source! I didn\'t believe it for a minute because one blogger citing another blogger doesn\'t count as a source. If you or someone else from PodTech went on the record in the article, now that would be a different story.<br><br>I think you underestimate the IQ of your readers/viewers in thinking that any of them believed this drivel.<br><br>Hey, on the upside, this completely untrue story by a fake blogger caused 70 comments on your blog and probably drove quite a bit of traffic to PodTech to see if there was any truth to it. Any press is good press, right?<br><br>I think you\'re doing a bang-up job, but I would focus your energy on more great interviews and less on these gossip hounds. That way you\'ll keep generating content that will keep the viewers coming in droves and sustain PodTech for years to come.</div>\
