I am podcast addict, love them and I do enjoy listening to them every single morning. I have itouch that I did jailbreak it and I am proud of it, enjoying all this extra functionality that apple intentionally blocked from all of us owners to use, apple you suck by the way. So anyway today I did came across this podcast TWiF which Sara Lane is co-host, my goodness, did not hear her since she left screensavers, Sara, you rock. Kevin Rose and his co-host have show too but it sucks, nothing close to what it used to be when they were on screensavers, then G4 bought them. And everything went down the drain, it got better and I do enjoy G4 now days but there was time where it did suck big time. But anyway Sara has this podcast and I believe it is show number 16 already but it was my first time that I got to listen to it today. It is cool.
TED.COM stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design
TED.COM stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Website is free of charge and they bring to the public best talks and performances from those conferences. More than 200 of those talks are available online. They are the most amazing talks you can ever hear from greatest thinkers of our generation, they have 18 minutes or less to wow the audience with their work. You can download their videos or like I do I subscribe via itunes podcast service where every day I can listen to a new and exciting presentation. Today there was a presentation given by Evan Williams who started up twitter. He explains how it all started and what it twitter, that it is a simple trivial concept, you say what you are doing in 140 characters or less, and people who are interested at you will get those updates, if they really interested they can get those updates on their cell phones as a text message. Principal idea is that twitter will let people share moments of their lives whenever they like. When they can share those moments people feel more connected and in touch despite distance and real time. That was intent of the system that they did design, but they could not predict, how twitter could be used in different purposes, especially in emergency situations (massive fires etc). He is talking about this LA Korean BBQ Taco truck that drives around neighborhood and he is sending twitter messages whenever he will stop and there are lines forming before he actually arrives. It is just great talk amount others that they have… Highly recommend this website and itune podcast J
