Yea, Win 7 - T C Sandford
evilmonkey how many millions before it's considered "important"? - Preternat (Ken Cadby)
I can finally update Twitter from Firefox 3.5.2 again - Gary Kostrivas
I was in mid-tweet when twitter went down - Kevin Ramcharan
"Federated twitter" e.g. laconica is great in theory, but in practice it won't work unless Twitter approves, supports it, and collaborates - Ken Sheppardson
Gary I had no problem with any of the FFox 3.5.x updating twitter - Greg
Well the downtime shows how important people think it is... - Jonathan Day
Given Twitter's role in the Iranian elections, stuff like this is bound to be big news. - Garance Alistair
Why? It's just not that important. Come on! - Allyn Edmonds
What's Twitter? - David Rysz

yeah leo, all that media tlalking about it - Preternat (Ken Cadby)
millions of what? - EvilMonkey
Jon and Kate were also at the top of the news for a while. You can't infer importance from the fact that something's in the news. - Ken Sheppardson
Twitter isn't important. It's a drug and "shiny new thing", but nothing more. - TeraDyne Azurepaw
I think that Molly is right on this - RALPH
Just like Charlton Heston in Omega Man - ZillaFan
How often does that happen...meaningful conversation? - Allyn Edmonds
I had a normal day .. twitter had no effect - Greg
Greg - for two days all I got was the spinning thing when I tried to update when using firefox - Gary Kostrivas
Friendfeed is better then twitter - Fee501st
Friendfeed is great! - RALPH
Last Twitterer on Earth - ZillaFan
Dvorak must be having a cow right now - Carey Lumeng
Friendfeed makes a good companion to twitter though, a good bridge I should think. - Jonathan Day
twitter, like a bad hollywood movie - decjr
Leo don't forget to mention Open Street Map - Jim Shaver
Teens don't use twitter ahaha, its funny because there are more grandparents on facebook! - Dakota O'Neill
Yeah. .we need Dvorak to comment on this... Probably why he didn't come on twit this week - Eric Boehs
people in irc are saying friendfeed is too complicated.. huh? - Greg
I think Twitter and Friendfeed have their own place - RALPH
Drovak, meh, move on - min
The media just like the sound of the word "Twitter". Twitter. - Ken Sheppardson
Twitter needs a dedicated fail whale server - Eric Boehs
Leo loves to hate and hates to love Twitter. - Aaron Coe
Father's who tweet to much and the daughters who block them. - Gary Kostrivas
Here we go!! - Jonathan Day
It may have something to do with the manner of comment and how to get it to work lol - RALPH
(repeatedly stunned) - Preternat (Ken Cadby)
no audible yet,,,commonnnnn - harry burgos
I guess I should check out FriendFeed more often. - Garance Alistair

I'm a teen and use Twitter, my friends (in the UK) are starting to use it - Chris Gilmore
AT&T works fine in Oklahoma area... Great 3G coverage for such a low pop state - Eric Boehs
That's why I have an Android Phone instead of a IPhone. I don't like AT&T. - John Lyons
Chris Gilmore - same with me! - Dakota O'Neill
too many of you tech heads with iphones - EvilMonkey
sounds like we need to have a Global Twitter Support Group, now lets organize and use twitter to get the word out, LOL - Dave T
T-Mobile has crap 3G coverage - Eric Boehs
AT&T dies has soon has you enter a building here - Fee501st
I'd switch to go to a Google Cell Network - Mike
Exactly the same conversation we used to have 10 years ago RE dial-up providers. - Ken Sheppardson
I have not thought about T Mobile of being an alternative, but my AT&T here in Florida runs pretty good - RALPH
the terrorists are coming! - Dakota O'Neill
I wouldn't go back to Verizon. Each carrier has their own problems. I don't have any AT&T problems with my iPhone. - David Rysz
I get 80 kbps on Rogers.... If it is a concentration problem, how do they do it in Japan and Singapore - Jim Shaver
T-Mobile has great customer service but poor coverage service. - Dale Feinstein
I use T-Mobile G1 for my phone and back it up with an iPod Touch. - Gary Kostrivas
I couldn't be happier with my Palm Pre and Sprint these days, btw. - Ken Sheppardson
thats a ridiculous line, if you jail break your iphone the terrorists win. - mikemcmullan
Dale where are you ..? part of the country? - TalkToMeGuy
its unlocking, not jailbreaking for T-Mob - cxx dxx
Nice straw leo :P - Eric Boehs
I'm looking at cell phones and going to be curious about how people feel about the MyTouch, since I refuse to go iPhone, though the Galaxy isn't far off... - Patrick Sullivan
Will there be a mass exodus from at&t when the iPhone ends up on Verizon? - Jim Bednarz
The Google/Apple FCC saga will end with the FCC stepping in saying allow the app. - Luis
Yep, until the day the Tablet is announced. Ohh, Ahh. - Mike
@TalktoMeGuy: I am in southern New Jersey (Ocean County). - Dale Feinstein
Yeah that tablet rumour is worrying me... - Jonathan Day
Apple is not consistent with approval process. - DesertWeather
Most of the people with iPhones I know have only a few apps and love it. GV isn't going to touch them - Carey Lumeng
Google Voice is Sweet ! I use it a Lot ! - TalkToMeGuy
The developer note published on Saturday says that “based on the current app submission, 96 percent of applications are being approved within 14 days.” - Eric Boehs
Google Voice is appealing to anybody who has more than one phone number of voicemail system, i.e. home and work. I think y'all are going just a *little* overboard with the "We only care because we're the tech elite" argument - Ken Sheppardson
virtual arm wrestle! - Dakota O'Neill
Beat her in wow - Fee501st
What is a Chumby?? - Julie Manweiler
Awh!! Chumby is so cute, yeah I want one too ladies, I want that very fancy alarm clock. - Jonathan Day
@aron Coe Watching TWIT on the Mac watching FriendFeed stream on iPhone - Jacqueline from iPhone
I like Apple, but I'm annoyed about Google-Voice getting blocked. I do know some people who really don't understand the point to Google Voice, and we can't explain it to them. - Garance Alistair
I use my N800 instead of the CHUMBY - RALPH
Rock paper scissors!! - Jonathan Day
Whats #1? - Fee501st
Bing! - Jim Bednarz
myspace had a moment? - Dakota O'Neill
Myspace peaked about 1988 - Jim Shaver
Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook - Ken Sheppardson
Facebook is 6th in the US behind Google, yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, and the Fox Interactive properites - Ken Sheppardson

Oh no Molly's gone!! - Jonathan Day
Long ago and far away - RALPH
Veronica won, molly is gone - Fee501st
I still greatly prefer MySpace over Facebook for tracking music. But I don't use MySpace for anything outside of music. - Garance Alistair
Stand-alone pop up for this thread - http://friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Ken Sheppardson
once you get twitter you understand it! - Dakota O'Neill
thanks Ken Sheppardson - Jim Shaver
molly , get a better connection please - harry burgos
she's on wifi, she can't help it - Dakota O'Neill
I wonder what's average time spent on facebook - mikemcmullan
Molly makes me giggle like a little schoolgirl - like someone said titmouse up in here! - Jonathan Day
1 Billion googles - min
twitter is bigger then digg now, wow didn't know that - Dakota O'Neill
Google understands the nature of a distributed network infrastructure. My guess is Twitter... less. - Ken Sheppardson
bing will have them before the end ot the year, ha - EvilMonkey
Facebook is doing everything that Classmates.com wanted to do, except Classmates.com turned into a total ad agency. - Garance Alistair
Yeah, if you write a page about a topic, guess what... it pops up pretty high in the list of relevant articles for that topic. (i.e. wikipedia) - Ken Sheppardson
Plus Wikipedia often holds the answers to whatever you're searching google for. - Jonathan Day
The "same old thing" aspect of Google is why I use Yahoo and Bing... and dmoz. - TeraDyne Azurepaw
I took the Search Engine Blind Test and I picked Yahoo. - Gary Kostrivas
gotta go lookup hegemony - Jim Bednarz
People like finding info in a familiar format... Wikipedia gives them that - Jim Shaver
I think one side-effect of Google being so successful is that fewer people have their own web pages with links to sites. And those other links used to be one of the ways Google decided what pages should be on the first page. - Garance Alistair
Yes, if many people think an article is relevant... isn't it... you know... more likely to be relevant? - Ken Sheppardson
what's bing? - min
google has a twitter? - Scott H
oic - min
the blind search engine test is down. we crashed it - Dakota O'Neill
google is all about backlinks - Jörg Reinhardt
bing is microsoft's competing search engine. - Ronald Hahm
it was down before you said it leo. BTW I always pick google on the blind test thing. - Dakota O'Neill

Wikipedia is so widely found because everyone links to it, because its cc - Jörg Reinhardt
You can do it in safari with glims - Ward Miller
"screw you" apple - Dakota O'Neill
Leo add Glims - Ward Miller
LONG LIVE GNU/LINUX! - RALPH
Understatement of the Week: Apple not exactly open - Jim Shaver
So anybody else have a Pre? :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Apple: Because pretty things are often painful. - TeraDyne Azurepaw
Like Club Fed - craig keenan
Bing on Safari? Install Inquisitor - Carlos Duarte
Molly is PC only - Fee501st
All Hail Linux the luxurious - Jim Shaver
oh dear - RALPH
Veronica - Dakota O'Neill
Wasn't it Alex on Macbreak that was putting forward the theory that there was orginally only one Steve, and that some strange time/space discontinuity split him into Woz and Jobs? - Ken Sheppardson
blindsearch.fejus.com - Mitch Boettcher
apple fail - EvilMonkey
Long Live LINUX! - RALPH
Apple knows we are talking about them - Jim Shaver
lol freaking sound engineer! - Dakota O'Neill
Sound engineer or Cylon - Gary Kostrivas
yea, tea inhalant - min
Dvorak - Jim Shaver
Can I mention his name? ;-) - Ken Sheppardson
No, not Dvorak - Ken Sheppardson
Adam Currey - Jim Shaver
curry - Jim Shaver
g gang episode.... - min
does his name rhyme with mvorak? - Jim Shaver
Dane Golden - Jim Shaver
i can't wait until html5 comes fully. i hate flash, your lagging on me leo :( - Dakota O'Neill
rhymes with Ganter - Jan Ole Peek
What min and Jan said. - Ken Sheppardson
I totally agree with Veronica. - Jonathan Day
Not allowing "targeted messaging" on Twitter seriously constrains the potential to commercialize the service. - Ken Sheppardson
I don't mind people who advertise "their stuff", but not an ad that someone is paying to insert their commercial in someone else's life. - Garance Alistair
Molly is grand! - James Larmore
This discussion is immediately following a GoToMeeting ad? Hm. - Ken Sheppardson
That is why Leo brought it up - Hector
Ah... I tuned out during the ad. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson
A big problem with spam ads is that they suck. They are not interesting or helpful. Compelling ads or products don't usually make spam. Just a thought. - Joel R
The line is most blurred on TWiT when it comes to Drobo on Macbreak and TWiP - Ken Sheppardson
Alex, Scott, etc. are all fans of the product, who are also paid to "evangelize", in a sense - Ken Sheppardson
You choose what twitter is for you, it can be about conversation with people who interest you or it can be following tonnes of random people. - Jonathan Day
All of us are on Twitter to advertise. - Ken Sheppardson
@Ken those are part of the PixelCorps though - Jim Shaver
I don't like the idea because somebody could make it look like an ad but it might actually be say a website with a virus. - Dakota O'Neill
Yes, Oprah is on twitter to advertise herself. But the people *FOLLOWING* Oprah are following her because they expect that. They want Oprah's ads. - Garance Alistair
it really depends on how often the ads come up - Daniel E. Renfer
Twitter will be history this time next year - Rick
did the first podcasts have adds? - EvilMonkey
no - Jim Shaver
Also, Twitter is the company which is spending all the money to make the service available, and these commercials are not financially helping Twitter. - Garance Alistair
Humans are inherently internally inconsistent and hypocritical, and we don't like it when other people do things we think it's OK to do ourselves. We all just need to learn to live with it and move on. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson
I love Molly Rants !! I finally lived long enough to hear bull crap and Oprah's name [brand] used in the same sentence !! - TalkToMeGuy
I am Mad about DIGG.COM's sponsored stories!!! I think that is just as messed up as ad tweets - Nick Young
I've been seeing a lot of twitter spam bots that have 4 random facts, and then one ad. I removed them - Daniel E. Renfer
What if the ads were personally selected by the person on twitter ? - Jason Cartwright
@Rick I agree, though I'd give it two years at the most - TeraDyne Azurepaw
It was years before podcasts had ads - Jim Shaver
as long as you put a mute tag in the tweet so I can mute it - min
Leo has difficulty seeing other point of view here. As for me, I just won't follow an ad dropper. So some people will drop ads, and others won't. What's the big debate about? - Preternat (Ken Cadby)
facebooks ads are just dirty - Dakota O'Neill
Just let the market decide. If their content isn't important enough to you, you stop following, if their content is important to you, you're gonna continue following even if they have ads - Stephen Pickering
Preternat: He's trying to reconcile his same basic reaction with the sponsorship system on TWiT - Ken Sheppardson
too many url shorteners... - decjr
URL shortening is a commodity with no marginal value. All the services will start to fall by the wayside, and it'll just become a feature of other sites and services. - Ken Sheppardson
bittercakes. ahaha cute. - Dakota O'Neill
Ken ok, but my point still is, how one person reconciles it can be different from others. His is not the only point of view. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)
I like moourl because it has a cute cow on it. - Jonathan Day
Preternat: I agree with you. - Ken Sheppardson
Twitter: we couldn't find a buisness model, so we're shutting down - Daniel E. Renfer
URL shortening is a short term arbitrage sort of opportunity. If you're building a business around it, you're doomed. - Ken Sheppardson
tr.im had great stats too - Klaus Bach
Name the show: TWiT 207: Taste the bitter cakes - Fee501st
Bingo - Ken Sheppardson
TWiT 207: Taste the bitter cakes - Hector
To be fair, I have to add... I prefer his point of view. It's just not the only view. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)
Bitly is gonna build a nice business around it - Stephen Pickering
I agree and disagree, I follow certain people to advertise what they wrote or did not advertise someone elses product. I block people who only post ads, it's spam to me. I don't use twitter for ads, I use it more as an RSS in a way - Dave Hoffman / N3PRO from twhirl
Why can't Twitter automatically convert the shortened URLs to the actual URLs? - Dale Feinstein
He needs money for his podcast not Twitter, Twitter is free his cost to buy stuff to make his broadcast better isn't, so ads help to make back the money he spends to bring the program to us. - Jacob Chimilar from iPod
Bit.ly has a Firefox plugin to preview - Nick Young
@Leo The security aspect might be a good topic for an episode of Security Now. - TeraDyne Azurepaw
another reason to go mac - min
Scott gets it. You have to trust the person posting the link. - Ken Sheppardson
Wow Leo is pissed - Hector
Adrian: First time listening? ;-) - Ken Sheppardson
Imagine. A Twitter conversation on "Twit Live". Who would have guessed? :-) - Garance Alistair
Don't interrupt the Leo! - Hector
He was more pissed that Coleen stole his passwords :D - Nick Young
Is Twitter reliable - Jim Shaver
Patents, copyright, trademark... all the intellectual property laws are fundamentally broken and not keeping up with technology. - Ken Sheppardson
reliable twitter aint - EvilMonkey
I invented the wheel. What's prior art? - Daniel E. Renfer
I invented Patent Oswalt - Gary Kostrivas
patent is a good business. It doesn't require a real product - min
Patents: For those who can't make money the honest way - TeraDyne Azurepaw
She should! She would be awesome, made to rant in a legal capacity. - Jonathan Day
Isn't patent law fundamentally unchanged since it was developed in Italy back in the 15th century? - Ken Sheppardson
This conversation would be very different if @acedtect & @therealdvorak were here - Mike
you have to be an engineer to be a patent lawyer, right ? - cxx dxx
Going to law school to study patent law these days is equivalent to going into engineering to learn about buggy whip dynamics - Ken Sheppardson
patents try to increase innovation where there is none. We have plenty of innovation in the tech world and the current patent regime stifles it - Jim Shaver
It used to be that you could apprentice with an attorney for seven years, and that would allow you to sit for the Cal BAR in CA. Not anymore. You have to take classes at a law school now. You can, however, pass law school and call yourself a JD (Juris Doctorate). - shelter watch
Can't skip past the ad on the live stream can you? >_< - Jonathan Day
No, Jonathan, you can't. 'cause they sneak in content during the ad ;-) - Ken Sheppardson
if you stop the stream and come back in... say 20 mins - Jim Shaver
@Ken, Leo makes content out of the ads. He's just that good. - TeraDyne Azurepaw
He's certainly mastered the Paul Harvey ad format :-) - Ken Sheppardson
good day - min
I'm not taking that risk, there might some gems of content hidden in the ad in that case. That being said I might actually give Squarespace a try - need to sort out my wordpress.com blog. - Jonathan Day
There's an online law school (non-ABA approved) which allows you to sit for the BAR for $3K plus per year. There's another law school which meets only M-TH at night only for people who want to have a law degree for nonprofit type purposes (People's Law School or something like that). $5K plus per year. - shelter watch
First season of Caprica starts January 22, 2010 on SyFy - Ken Sheppardson

I really want a Zune after seeing the Zune HD. I already wanted a Zune, but the HD is just too awesome to pass up. - TeraDyne Azurepaw
Look how freaking smug Molly looked there for a passing moment. - Jonathan Day

Toby remembers when COKE TANKED! - Da-Chief

Leo Laporte
Sold all stocks in my retirement portfolio. I'm holding cash until all this blows over.
Leo, I'm in the market for the long term so am holding. I didn't invest in fly by night funds or companies, so why would I get out now? I plan to hold for long term. - Rod Bauer from twhirl
Yep knew this was coming, after TWIT the "Disciplined Investor" recommended this. Lots of opportunity still in the market. Solid investing means the long haul. - michael sean wright
You guys assume Leo has time for the 'Long Haul' to recover :) - Johnny
Problem is, that cash is losing value just like the stocks. Your foundation should be built of something other than money. - ComicList
Should he trade the money in for gold? :P - Kevin Vinck
wise move... this financial mess is getting worse...freaky - Susan Beebe
Leo will be around forever as our tech guru - Rod Bauer from twhirl
I think you are right and should hold some liquidity until things settle down. The market is too emotional, but deals will be abound. Flight to quality. - Eric - seven eleven
I hope Leo consulted his financial advisor first. Mine told me to hang tight. - Pete D
It's now a buyer's market. You can probably pick up some good bargains. Just make sure you don't put all your eggs in one basket :) - imabonehead
Gold is okay for now, but even it is going to lose its value. - ComicList
Cash may be losing some value, but not like stocks. How can some of you say this is the bottom, especially some of those stocks. The bottom is likely yet to come. Gold may seem cliched, but it is a safe place when all else goes in the tank. Gold related companies as well. - Eric - seven eleven
I've deliberately not looked at our portfolios since everything starting hitting the shitter. I trust our money people...though I suppose I should call and at least make sure they've not offed themselves. - abacab
Oh, this is not the bottom. The bottom is coming, and it's going to be much worse than we are seeing now. - ComicList
Allocating all of your assets to any one instrument is folly. - Tinfoil 2.0
In times of financial crisis er collapse where can one safely invest their funds? - Susan Beebe
I plan to invest mine in my mattress... :-| - Lisa | #TeamMonique
staying invested...riding this baby out. a whole mess of ugliness ahead, but I've never been good at timing the market. i can't touch it for 30 years anyway. ;) - cjmart
Isn't the fact that the stock market is become like it is BECAUSE people are just selling all their stocks? Sorry if I've got it wrong.... but I thought that's kinda the cause of everything, - Chris Gilmore from twhirl
Hope you don't miss the upswing and end up buying back in above your sell prices... - Steve Lacey
Wish I'd learned this a lot earlier: Never. Sell. Assets. (unless you plan to actually use the money) I'm not selling a thing this time around. - Ray Grieselhuber
Leo: you are always on KGO Radio. Did Bob Brinker recommend you do such a thing? That dude is ALWAYS right. I don't know how he does it, but he's called nearly every up and down in the past 20 years that I've been listening pretty damn accurately. He also usually gives sound advice like "don't sell all at once, but dollar cost average." Doing stuff like that keeps you from reacting emotionally at the wrong times and keeps you from trying to totally time the market, like what you're doing here. - Robert Scoble
Selling low? - Mike Doeff
I have what investment cash I have in Prosper.com, earning an average of 15% to 19%, and small amounts in sharebuilder.com (very small). I prefer investing in microlending where there's a long-term almost certain return... - Justin Long
Prosper looks cool. I wouldn't put ALL my cash there (or at least in a single loan) but I would consider putting some of it there. - Ray Grieselhuber
I put in a set amount a month on automatic disbursement, and I am using one of prosper's automatic portfolio selectors that divides investments up amongst different grades of risk, at $50/loan. So its *very* diversified. I've been in well over a year and even with the inevitable losses that of some loans going bad, I *still* average between 15% and 19% return at any given moment. I can't say enough good things about Prosper. - Justin Long
Sold some positions but because I am in the market for the long term, I am still investing in stocks - Rajiv Doshi
My 401k lost 10k :( - Ari Braginsky
Just wondering. Have you started buying any stocks? Is the bear market over? Probably still a bear market rally? - mahjongmi
and is it all stuffed in the mattress?! - Shivanand Velmurugan
if you'd said that in December or January you could've bought back today at a huge discount - the same will be said in 4 months time - check Gold going to 1300$ while you hold and wait - Nicholas Paul Gordon
Check the date. I moved to cash on 9/22 (about $70,000 off the low for me) and bought back in (no load index funds primarily) when the Dow was at 8,000. Hope I didn't do it too early! - Leo Laporte
This is HYSTERICAL! Why are people commenting on a freaking TWEET from 9/22/08?!? Whoops... guilty. - Carter ♥ JS
cool, friendfeed shows this as current, i guess because of comments - Nethead
Time to buy. :P - Phillip Stewart
Leo Laporte
Woo hoo. I just got a Wii from Amazon. What games and accessories are must have now?
super monkey ball! - Morgan
Lightsaber !!! - Brodie Beta
Classic controller. Download Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3 now! - Eric - seven eleven
Mario Kart - Scoble, Alex Scoble
That's awesome, all I have is a PSP :( - Patrick from twhirl
go old school, like Eric says. Dr. Mario and Tetris Party are great classics - Jon
Guitar Hero World Tour! - Nicola Quinn
AnXbox - Chris Gilmore from twhirl
you must purchase Guitar Hero World Tour - get the entire thing (drums, etc) - Dave Hodson
Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros Brawl. If you have old firmware version intall the Homebrew channel! Don't buy ANY third party games. They are all feces. And the cross-bow training game is wack too. - pixelcrafter from twhirl
what kind of games do you like? - Karl Evard
@ pixelcrafter most third party games suck but some are really good like 'no more heroes' and 'zack and wiki' - Karl Evard
Sheryl, I was never interested in video games before the Wii. Apparently that's the market it was originally aimed at and they certainly got me hooked :) - Nicola Quinn
World of Goo is a must-buy. And anything above an 80 on http://apps.metacritic.com/games... is a safe bet - Nathan Chase
Got to get the wii fit board! - David
Mario Kart, Rock Band 2 and Wii Fit - Herb Hernandez
Mario Kart. FTW - Roberto Bonini
I don't have a Wii, but I do have a Nintendo DS and I have Mario Kart for it and it's awesome, so it must be even better on the Wii. I recommend Mario Kart Wii - Seth Hoogeboom from IM
Just got a Wii Fit from Costco. Finally in stock. Time to load my que in Gamefly - Joe K
I second boom blox - joey from BuddyFeed
Super Mario galaxy and tetris party in Wii ware. World of goo is pretty good and boom box is a must. - Rob Brammeld
You have to get the Wii Fit Leo. It is so much fun and of course it is good for you. - Michael McGimpsey from twhirl
I want one...lucky! - Susan Beebe
Mushroom Men! - Laura Zickus
I second the motion for a Wii Fit. It's more fun than you're bouncing ball seat. For real fun I agree with the calls for Guitar Hero World Tour. Even Guitar Hero 3 is extreme fun. The tunes are just right for guys our age. GHWT however looks like it goes leaps forward. I just got mine and will be playing as soon as I get some free time. No matter what just enjoy the Wii experience and ALWAYS wear the wrist straps! - Derek Erb
yep wii fit is great and of course either guitar hero or rock band depending on what you like..acessories dont work with each other though.. - Samuel Lewis from twhirl
Wii Sport for the tennis game, Top Spin 3 for, erm the tennis again. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Definitely a rechargeable battery pack and a dock to charge the Wiimotes. I have one from Nyko. - Rodfather
Wiiii! ;) - Tyson Key
I want to get one but can't justify the over-priced bundles....gahhhhh - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
Boomblox - Eric Rice
hear great things about Guitar Hero World Tour...so I'm giving 3 away starting Feb 1st on my site. We will see how much response I get from that. - MarkCarras
Legend of Zelda! Mario Cart, Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros - Jen Kuiper
Mario Kart for sure. - Jonathon
If you dig the ultra-violence, check out Man-Hunt 2. - Christian (Simply X)
Boom Blox is lots of fun both solo and multiplayer. - Chris Taylor

"Very interesting and a great idea... Is there any way to get that feed into the tricaster? If the Tricaster could act on what sort of content it was seeing from the feed and put up the appropriate CG up, and possibly link to that story or ad page which is then clickable (we're streaming in Flash so IT SHOULD be relativly easy but then again, I have no experience with the Tricaster). So if in the XMPP feed (for shownotes), we might have an audible ad for http://www.audible.com/twit, the tricaster would then see this as an ad and put the relavent audible CG up. If the content was a link to a story or a website you're discussing, it would put up a CG that is predefined (let's say the general TWiT one) with a clickable link to that story." - Chris Gilmore

Can't wait, I'm under 16 so wasn't really a big geek when I was 5 or 6 ;) so it'll be nice to see this reincarnation of tech video this time round. Loving TWiT Live so far and it can only get better, wish all the best for you Leo." - Chris Gilmore
