Scoble. I love the concept. Hell a while ago I though about launching something similar. But I think we are missing the most important thing. YOU. Don't get me wrong, I'll watch the show sometimes for the great stories, companies and demos. But what I want is more of you. Your opinions. Your thoughts. Your wild questions. The same reason I don't read your blog just to know more about tech, I read your blog so that YOU can tell me more about tech.

I think you have to put you in the show more!

Otherwise, keep up the great and inspiring work!

If you like, I'll happily cut you and awesome trailer or short clip that could help spread the word about ScobleShow?

Robert: I know! That's my chief complain with the C9 interviews. And any time I've seen someone interview you.

"Diego: the language war is up now."

Cool! Thanks Robert! :)

Dan: I laugh a lot even when the camera isn't on. If you got to know me you'd know that.

Great videos, Robert! And thanks for putting them in a logical format. This is the first time I can see your videos without jumping through hoops and I appreciate it. Already subscribed. Keep it up!

Five seconds into the Schwartz interview and you're already doing the nervous laughter thing...

Loving the content, but I can't hear everything. You have a volume issue. Fill the interview environment with 100 microphones, take all the audio files and convert them all to mono. There will be an echo, but I don't care because at least I will be able to hear what is being said.

I've got democracy dumping videos to our MythTV setup in the livingroom (think open-source iTV :) ) and my wife and I watched two episodes from the couch tonight.

A few thoughts:

1) I'd really love to hear you better. You've invested in great cameras, please consider investing in some sort of audio upgrade as well (be it wireless lapel mics, or even just a simple external mic you can set on the table between you and your interviewee)

2) This is going to be amazing!

Seriously, that was just about the only criticism I had. We watched the interview with the Sun CEO (very interesting to hear his take on open source Java and why Sun matters) and the JotSpot demo, which certainly caught my interest.

I'm a geek, so keeping me interested in these topics isn't hard. The beauty is that Sara said "that looks very cool" after watching the jotspot piece, which means she was engaged and interested!

Great work and good luck! I think great things are ahead.

Congratulations on the launch. Quite the explosion of content to get started with, too -- nice choice.

I hope there's been much rejoicing and active celebrating around your office this afternoon. :)

Hi Robert,

Any chance you could add a few additional formats to the list, please?

Preferably Flash Video embedded on the site so I can watch during my lunch break at work.

I also can't play Quicktime on my PDA (another place I listen to/watch video/audio casts for my commute).

I'd give some feedback on what the show was like.. but err, well... I can't watch it (for the above reasons).

Cheers

Liked the demo Robert! I still think you should be screencasting parts of it, but we can continue that debate. :)

Robert, great videos. I really enjoyed photowalking and the printing for less tour. Keep them coming!

Robert, I wish you well with your new show. The bleary-eyed meta video was a great way to kick it off with a personal touch.

Is there any way you can distribute these files with BitTorrent? These things are friggin' huge!

I'm surprised more (any??) torrent-aware podcast clients don't exist. You should be able to host an RSS feed of torrent files, and even run your own tracker--all for a lot less bandwidth than you'd burn serving up all these files yourself. And ultimately, everyone would get quicker downloads.

Robert,
You are poor man submitting own stories to Digg.

You used to talk about influencers (http://scobleizer.wordpress... ) and how it's good that geeks real your blog - not simply a dumb mass of newspaper subscribers.

If your new show was interesting - then somebody for sure will submit it to Digg. Unfortunately looks like you don't believe in it's quality.

To bad the Channel 9 server is having run time errors.
Just e-mailed a few DOD app guys to check it out.

I really like the photowalking, interesting stuff. A pity I have to convert to Divx to watch it, takes a little time. Guess I have to blame myself for hating kwiktime so much...

At first glance, this looks really cool! I can't wait to test it out more...and will provide my thoughts soon. Great work team!!

Thanks Robert. I thought the Photo Walking episode came out really well. Looking forward to the next episodes in this series and doing more of these. It really was a lot of fun. I threw another photo of our walk up on Flickr today http://www.flickr.com/photo... and have a complete set of the walk available in a SmartSet up on Zooomr here:

http://beta.zooomr.com/smar... All the shots are avaiable in high res if anyone wants to download any of them.

Hope to add more shots to the Zooomr set in the next few days.

Robert, congrats on the show being up now, btw. I enjoyed the two I watched (Thomas Hawk and language wars). I don't remember there being any info in the language wars about who those dudes were though - some background info would be nice.

Nathan: we have more microphones coming. Sorry about that.

Nathan Weinberg — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 12:33:47 -0000

Robert, great set of interviews, right out of the gate. But for gods sake, please mic yourself! Your name is in the title, I damn well better be able to hear what you're saying!

Diego: the language war is up now.

C.C.: the feed icon is coming. It's the #1 thing on my list of things that needs to be done.

Chris: yes, I'm getting more microphones. That'll help. One thing because I'm doing all my own camera work I don't always get the best audio. Gotta do better on that.

Mitch: >>I doesn’t look like any real persons are involved. I get the feeling somebody is trying to make money of off of me.

Hmm, I generally am talking about tech and business. Both subjects where they ARE trying to make money off of you. But, did you watch Photowalking? That was pretty non commercial. There will be other things like that that are purely fun. And, none of the people paid me to be on the show.
