This is a show to encourage and support others.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts), Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) and our guest, Rob Goldman, (twitter: @robjective) CEO of threadsy discuss: Rob will be attending the CrunchUp event next week in the valley Craig will attend the Glasshouse event in NYC on Monday, 11/16 John and Craig will attend Web 2.0 Expo NY Google Wave vs. Threadsy Mozilla releases plans, screenshots for its Raindrop universal inbox. Chia-Lin thinks it may have the potential of being vaporware. We re waiting for mobile clients (especially on the iPhone) to support Twitter Lists. Threadsy is working on Twitter Lists support. Parse.ly is in private beta. Read Write Web calls it The Pro Bloggers Feed Reader. Lazyweb is a similar client. It s going to be a tough job for some of these services to get people to switch from Google Reader. Chia-Lin is holding back on her Droid purchase. It s only a CMDA phone that she can t use internationally plus, she thinks that Verizon may get the iPhone. Will Verizon get the iPhone any time soon? We hash it out. John has started reading Kindle books on his iPhone even after questioning why anyone would do that. Doh! The ODM crew wants to know if John has purchased any more Vooks. Yes, he decided to give Vooks another chance and bought Gary Vaynerchuk s Crush It in Vook format. Amazon has just released Kindle software for Windows that s decidedly for the netbook crowd. The class action lawsuits against the social gaming companies have arrived. Are Facebook and Myspace liable for the actions of these networks? We doubt it. A boxee box is coming! We want. Rob built his own MythTV box! Netflix may support the MPAA 30-day window on new releases! We re not happy. Why not release James Cameron s upcoming film Avatar across all platforms at once, just to see how the revenue streams unfold? Rupert Murdoch said that he s going to block Google and remove all content from his properties from the search engine. Hah! This is the media mogul equivalent of Jumping the Shark. An interesting coup for Microsoft should Murdoch cut a deal with Bing to allow them to index his content. Hmmmm Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts) and Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) opine about: Events: Craig and John will be attending Web 2.0 Expo New York, November 16 - 19 An Historic Week: Happy 40th Birthday, Internets! Happy Birthday, Banner Ad! Craig worked on the campaign to create that first banner. Jeff Jarvis talks about Howard Stern 3.0: The Future of Entertainment Sirius XM Year-Over-Year Net Susbcribers haven t increased in a year AT s Network Problems Could be Self-Induced by Poor Architecture Chia-Lin has groped the Droid and is in love with this new gadget. Google has released Android 2.0 along with Droid, brings free Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation. A game changer, to be sure. Even with an exclusive on the Palm Pre, Sprint still lost subscribers last quarter We love Julius Genachowski, the new head of the FTC. The FTC wants to buy back TV spectrum to make it available for mobile devices. Broadband is now a universal right in Norway. Netflix Streaming is coming to the PS3 and Wii Roku released two new boxes: the Roku HD-XR and the Roku SD Netflix will offer a streaming-only service, but not in the US. WTF!? It probably has something to do with rights. Steve would drop cable altogether and go IPTV. What about Cable a la carte? Never happen. Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

You will be inspired and encouraged to become an entrepreneur from Mei Xu s odyssey from Tiananmen Square to the United States. (...)

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder), Ken Gellman (twitter: @kengellman) and Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) opine about: Craig was featured in articles on Forbes.com and AdAge.com representing TravelZoo Craig s team at TravelZoo won the SAMMY Award (MediaPost s Social Media Award) for The Top Branded Twitter Campaign beating out MadMen and M s a good thing. jf.) Breaking News! Twitter has new avatars! Twitter will add geo-location as a built-in feature. Don t worry, it will be opt-in. John is using a combination of BrightKite, FourSquare and GoWalla for location-based status updates. Twitter doesn t want to have to deal with subpeonas - after 14 days, the location metadata associated with your tweets is expunged. Project Retweet is an effort to redesign the user experience of retweets - this time, officially by twitter as opposed to the community. Tweetie already supports the Project Retweet API extensions John has decided to add video to the mix during ODM recording sessions. They ll be posted in the show notes on occassion. Steve equates the retweet with FriendFeed s and Facebook s Like feature and that it will ultimately morph into the same nomenclature and user experience. Craig believes that retweet etiquette requires the retweeter to add value in some way to the retweet. (The value IS the retweet! It s retweet-worthy! ) Mashable asks if people are ready for the features of Project Retweet. Justine Bateman wasn t as the change caused some confusion until she realized what was going on - and she s Twitter-savvy. What about people who aren t? Apparently her BlackBerry Twitter client (UberTwitter) already supports the Project Retweet API extensions as well. Justin Timberlake has signed on to appear in the movie The Accidental Billionaire based on the book of the same name. 27% of people access twitter through dedicated applications. How could a company like comScore track that? Do they track API calls? Do people in their panel note the fact that they use Twitter apps? Craig will ask and report back. Twitter just raised $100 million to support the build-out of all these service updates - at an approximate $1 billion valuation! Jason Fried s Satirical post about the 37Signals $100 Billion valuation pokes fun at Twitter s recent funding and valuation Where s our Audible sponsorship, damnit?! Jonathan? Are you listening? Livestream launches Livepack - the world s first solution for wireless live streaming at HD quality Craig rediscovers TweetDeck and loves it. A random tweet of his was included in an IgniteNYC presentation. (With attribution, of course.) John wil be speaking at Web2Open at the Web 2.0 Expo New York on Social Media Hacks Craig shares a Social Media Hack that will make its way into my presentation! Send any social media hacks, tips or tricks you have to comments@odmcast.com Google Sidewiki was released for FireFox and IE browsers - it s a distributed commenting/social discussion system Remember ThirdVoice? It was the original distributing commenting system that was launched - and died - during the dotcom boom. Danny Sullivan used Sidewiki in a unique way (http://bit.ly/3bbzUY), commenting on Seth Godin s post about Squidoo s Brands in Place service. Not sure why people were so ruffled by Brands in Place. In a way, it s not much different than allowing anyone to create a space on GetSatisfaction.com. Google introduces Google Frame for IE Browsers, bringing the standards compliant Webkit rendering engine to Internet Explorer - and a 10x increase in speed. Surprise! Microsoft doesn t like it. We hope it will push Microsoft to make IE much better than it is currently. Mike Abundo from 901am writes about The Delusions of Carol Bartz. Comparing Yahoo s decline with AOL s decline. Yahoo is selling off Yahoo Small Business AOL s decline was hastened by the rise of broadband. Yahoo s decline was hastened by lack of focus and competing services. Looking for a new gig? You can probably make a difference at Yahoo or AOL - and they re hiring. iRex announced the DR800SG with global 3G downloads and partnerships with Barnes t! Only a small fraction said they would pay 2 cents per article. OneForty.com is an app store for Twitter. Congratulations to Laura Fitton (@pistachio) Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts), Ken Gellman (twitter: @kengellman) and Craig Calder (twitter:@ccalder) discuss their predictions for 2009. Topics include: Craig is going to the PhocusWright Conference November 17th through the 19th Ken is now living in the Boston area and looking for a new gig WSJ is going to start charging for mobile access to subscription content. There will be discounts for current subscribers. Do the math: based on current pricing, the WSJ iPhone app is just as valuable as the print subscription. Is this the beginning of the age of a Platform-agnostic news organization The newspaper industry has been in decline for 50 years. They just didn t know it. 24% of newspapers are ignoring the digital channel for distributing content Business Week had 93 suitors at one point - only half are still interested in purchasing the publication. The brand means nothing if the business is dying. The Kindle version of Dan Brown s new book The Lost Symbol is outselling the hardcover on Amazon Every president in American history has been a Mason except for one: John F. Kennedy. The Book is dead. Long live the Book. The printed book is not dead. The book publishing business as we know it is dead. (or dying) Google bough ReCaptcha as a tool for helping digitize books Google will make many of the books that it has scanned as part of its Google Books initiative via print-on-demand Smashing Pumpkins will be distributing their new album in its entirety for free. If you want, you can buy one of the 11 collectors editions. That works for major acts, but what about the thousands of other musicians and performers? Check out JamsBio.com The artists took over merch, ClearChannel and others took over the venues. All that s left are the CD s and lawsuits. ASCAP and BMI want royalties for the 30-second samples on iTunes and other downloadable musi retailers. The music industry wants to get paid for that extra one second beyond the 29-second fair use doctrine. Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder) and Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) discuss chat about current news and events: Craig is at TravelZoo and headed to the FocusRight conference in December John will attend the September meeting of the New York Social Media Club Opinion: The New York Times will print only on Sundays, be digital all other days - for a fee Let s make an eReader. All the cool kids are doing it. THE mass market eReader needs to be $99 or less We belabor the issue of the iPhone battery life. Again. Craig just finished listening to The Accidental Billionares, the book about Facebook - Highly Entertaining. Apple announced new products: iTunes 9, iPhone OS 3.1, a revised iPod nano with video capture, a revised iPod Touch and the iLiver! Outlook for Mac is coming John thinks all iPod hardware needs wifi. It would be a boon for media sharing worldwide. iTunes 9 brings the social! Facebook and Twitter integration. Apple offers five times the entertainment titles than the combined number of titles for Sony and Nintendo portable game machines, Got kids? Got an iPhone or iPod Touch? Get Trace. Free in the App Store. Chia-Lin believes that Android needs 4 million handsets in the market before it reaches a tipping point. Craig: Apple s true [iPhone] competitor has yet to be revealed. The Treo is the 8-track of handsets. Android is the open source equivalent of Windows Mobile in the sense that it shares similar challenges. Craig digs the DigiDay conferences. Is Apple the new Big Brother? Motorola announced the Android-based Cliq with the MotoBlur interface Palm released the Pixi, a cheaper, candybar qwerty without a slider.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Ken Gellman (twitter: @kengellman) and Kris Smith (twitter: @croncast discuss: iPhone 3GS Video Revolution Every third tweet is from someone green Could the events in Iran be contributing to the growth in YouTube s mobile video uploads and not just the iPhone 3GS? Bozeman, Montana asks job applicants for their social networking profiles, passwords, then rethinks practice. If you re an employee of the The Associate Press, you ve been promoted to Editor - of what your friends post to your social networking profiles, that is. Are Upload Speeds the new Broadband Selling Point? Kris thinks that Cloud Computing is driving some of the need for faster upload speeds. The iPhone 3GS has the ability to capture 720p HD video, but it doesn t. Why not? Amazon puts a cap on how often certain Kindle books can be downloaded. Maybe that will be circumvented by some creative hackers as Amazon just released the source code for each of the Kindle devices. Analysts are convinced that the average price of a Kindle ebook will increase on Amazon.com. Ken wants to know: Exactly how big is the Kindle business? Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.
