Louis, thanks for the tip, but I don't see the point if it is already pretty easy to "follow" people for Google Reader users. Isn't this link as easy to give someone has a twitter account: http://www.google.com/reader...
- Phillip Stewart
Phil, my guidance is always to provide your content wherever people want to be. If people prefer Twitter, give them your content on Twitter. The new rules for conversation and marketing is be where they want you to be, not where you tell them to.
- Louis Gray
I like that Louis. I may quote you on that.

Another option is to use the tag feature. Each tag you have in Reader you can expose as a separate feed. That feed is also PubSubHubbub enabled. So you could only retweet when you apply that tag to an item.
- Brett Slatkin
Not sure if reader2twitter supports those tag feed URLs though.
- Brett Slatkin
Why not just do "Send to Twitter" if you're going to do it on a post-by-post basis?
- Jesse Stay
Depends on how many clicks you like to make? I dunno
- Brett Slatkin
@phillip you can just sync share which has note

@Brett good idea. I will work on it

if you go with the solution to send to twitter only items that have a specific tag, you could use twitterfeed.
- George Moga
Robert, could you please explain the hard- and software-setup using for the live-stream?
- HansVanRock
Hans: We haven't announced the hardware and software we are using to stream the Gang yet, but for starters it's powered by NewTek Tricaster.
- Steve Gillmor
Looking forward to this, and would like to hear about the tech too

I'll be asleep on the other side of the world. Let us know when you get the RSS feed up, Steve :)
- Edward Coffey
Plans on a downloadable file? I don't think the boss would appreciate me walking around the store with headphones on. :-)
- Larry Walker
Clicking the embedded viewer works at any hour in any part of the planet.
- Steve Gillmor
Cool, so I just need to write a script to click that link and record the stream so the file is waiting for me when I sync my MP3 player. Modern technology makes it so much easier than when we had to use clunky old VCRs to record things!
- Edward Coffey
you'll be able to download the MP4 as soon as Google fixes a bug they're working on.
- Steve Gillmor
Excellent, thanks Steve. (which bug?)
- Edward Coffey
. @edwardc I am sure the mp3 will be available on the gilmor gang bootleg feed
- Christian Burns
from iPhone
if everyone insists on bootlegging, then won't worry about Google fixing the bug
- Steve Gillmor
no bootlegger me....just need something that will play on my iphone after the fact. :)
- Karoli
No bootlegging here either, just need something to show up in iTunes (automatically) with the rest of the podcasts.
- PXLated
sounds like you will have at least a few options. I'm not planning to release audio only, so you'll need to either get a blindfold or go bottleg
- Steve Gillmor
well, we'll give it a try, see how it rolls.
- Karoli
Will there be official 'Gillmor Gang' blindfolds available in the Building 43 gift shop?
- Cliff Gerrish
Can I get a pair of "driver"-style GG blindfolds, please?
- Robert J Taylor

Attention wise, video is much more expensive than audio. I don't have the money to devote an hour of my eyes and ears to the gill or gang at this time.
- Christian Burns
from iPhone
Christian, I think what they're saying is that you can put the MP4 on your playback device and listen to it and ignore the video component. I know that works on iPods and iPhones.
- Dave Winer
Dave, you are as unproductive as you've ever been. What I've said is that RSS is in the process of being disrupted by micromessaging, and no amount of name calling is going to change that. Your attempts to reinvent RSS will not get traction if you continue to slime the messenger. And having this discussion here underlines how partisan your attacks are.
- Steve Gillmor
The message above is out of context because Dave Winer deleted the message to which I am responding. I thought about saving his message and reprinting it below where only the owner of this thread could remove it, but figured it wasn't worth it. This is also why I never respond to anything in a thread Dave owns unless I don't care if it gets erased or the context removed.
- Steve Gillmor
Where's the Winer Watcher when you need it?
- Matthew Gifford
The iPhone has a bug that will not allow you to download over the air for consuming later mp3s or mp4s unless they are an enclosure to an RSS feed.
- Christian Burns
from iPhone
once Google fixes their bug (Wednesday) you should be able to download via RSS.
- Steve Gillmor
Steve, the msg you're referring to was here just a few seconds, I realized it'd provoke the kind of response it has, and decided I didn't want to go there. Re being unproductive, I've had a cold this week and have been unable to do dev work, but I'm feeling better and expect to releas some new software this week. Don't expect TC to cover it, as usual. Finally Steve as you know the <cloud> element has been in RSS for eight years, hardly a retrofit.
- Dave Winer
Tremendous news. Looking forward to it.
- Mike Doeff
Sweet. - Gillmor Gang was one of my favorite couple hours of the week. Dave and Marshall are doing a nice job over at bad hair day - but I am definitely excited for the return of GG.
- andrew
Truly glad to hear it! Also like the NGL sign on your Twitpic. :)
- Karoli
Whooooooooooo----f'king hoooooooooo! It's on my Calendar-in-the-Cloud
- Francine Hardaway
More comebacks than Sinatra, yay :-) Will there be a podcast of it too, pretty please for your *fans* that can't make the time schedule?
- Scottish Lass
Somebody better update the Wikipedia entry...
- Cliff Gerrish
YES! YES! YES! Thank you Steve - this makes me happy!
- Michael Pinto
For those on the other side of the planet will you be able to grab the show via RSS - oh I forgot RSS is dead, right?
- John Chrisoulakis
So happy GG is coming back (again). Literally the highlight of an otherwise rough day. Don't care what network it's on, as long as Steve gets to herd his intellectually stimulating mix of "cats". Thanks Steve. :)
