The Social Hour

Mark — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 21:18:08 +0000

“The Social Hour” is a kind is a new netcast from Leo Laporte’s TWiT network. Sarah Lane and Amber MacArthur have teamed up to to show you the best of social tools, news, and fascinating folks building the next generation of the Internet.

I have just watched the first episode and found it to be not my cup of tea. “The Social Hour” is focused to much on Facebook and Twitter. I know social media is all the rage now but I find Facebook annoying and Twitter it’s impossible to cut through the blather. There was a little something about the YouTube Video Editor adding stabilization which turns out to be pretty cool.

I’ll watch it some more in the next few weeks to see what it becomes.

PhotoShop User TV

Mark — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 02:53:49 +0000

If I was to start over again with graphics software I would not be using Photoshop. It is far to expensive. Hundreds of dollars! I would use the GIMP now. But I got a good deal on Photoshop CS1 a few years ago and watched Photoshop TV now Photoshop User TV. Unless you plan to use CS2 or CS3 I would not bother because these guys are all about promoting the latest product.

TWiT Going Live Video

Mark — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:59:59 +0000

The TWiT Podcast network is starting to have live video. There has been audio for years but video is a bandwidth hog and the cost of bandwidth for video was prohibitive. It would cost an individual like Leo Leporte (host and creator of the TWiT network) a small fortune to serve that much video. With the help of site like Stickcam it is now possible.
