Ping: Episode 2 | Laura Foy

A new world man putting the new world in order.

@Ping: It's not that I don't like Twitter, I'm just a fan of other services. The fact that Bank of America along with $45 billion US tax dollars is using Twitter to respond to customer complaints isn't a big selling point for me. Don't judge a compay by what they do in the public spotlight (twitter) but how they treat you when no one is looking.

wow.. i gotta say, much improved over ep 1!
more meat on the subjects, loads better interviewing by laura (less trying to be funny, more trying to get interesting stuff out if the intreviewee)
all in all, pretty good i gotta say Smiley

only down side was a a bit to agressive cutting on the interviews, i didnt really get what they where showing, :/ the backside touch device (final name pending) where really cool, love to see some more info on that. Just get it to market before apple steals it plz Smiley

also, some of the audio quality in the clips could have been better but thats really just nitpicking

i do have a general comment though, there seems to be alot of "weekly" shows on channel9 that arent really that weekly Wink

the only show that is somewhat regular seems to be this week on channel 9
again, just a nitpick i guess but why not just skip the "weekly" bit and let yourself of the hook? Smiley

Thanks aL_ ! We really are still in teh learning stage and hopefully will continue to improve each week- thanks for giving us another chance Smiley

Regarding the aggressively cut TechFEst video, that was intentional. The idea was "Here's a TASTE of TechFest, and you can cathc the full coverage through the interviews on C9 and C10" Perhaps I shuold have made that more clear. Here's a link to the TechFest videos on C10 if you are interested:

The "Backside Touch" (oh, sounds dirty!) one will be up tomorrow.

Also- we TOTALLY intend to be weekly. We just took last week off to really think about what our feedback was and how to act upon it accordingly.

Thanks again....see you next week!

hey you guys where hit pretty hard last time so its understandable that you took a week of Smiley

i actually felt kinda bad after last time, felt like i kicked you when you where down, sorry bout that

so there are more techfest stuff coming? i missed the ones on c10 (even though its on my live.com rss page, gotta watch that more closely) so i'll check those out Smiley

"backside touch" really lends it self to inappropriate jokes (always fun) Tongue Out

perhaps it should be marketed like that Big Smile

get it into a 50 cent video and you're golden, atleast with the rnb crowd Wink

they should have the menus semi transparent and have the cursor "blobs" appear behind the menu, pushing the buttons/ui "out".. that would be totaly awsome..

That was good. It's heading in a more Systm/DLTV direction just completely MS related.

You always see Grant Imahara using a Windows machine on Mythbusters so it's great to see the 3 younger Mythbusters in one of those adds.

It finds lightbulbs.

What, no drum sticks? This SUCKS.

Seriously though, I liked this a lot more. I'm not quite sure how different this is from This Week On C9, but it's going in the right direction. Keep it up!

That Backside Touch thing reminded me of LucidTouch. In fact, it looked like exactly the same thing as LucidTouch, only smaller. What else is different about it?
Not a big fan of the Mythbusters ad... it looked way to scripted to me. The Rookies clips are awesome, though. If they shorten those down, and keep a lot of the weird offhand comments, they'd make great TV ads. Hey, they could do a two part thing where they don't show the results until after the next commercial. You can steal that idea for free, if you want.
