I had to stop watching part-way through one episode of Tech News Today on my PC and tried to resume viewing later at the point I stopped. Apparently you have to rewatch the whole program to get back to where I stopped. I don’t have the time to waste doing that. I have never liked TWITS viewing scheme as much as what BOL uses. In fact, I regularly avoid watching your show because I dislike the way TWIT handles show videos. As a result, I never watch anything else on TWIT. If it wasn’t for being hooked on watching you because of your time on BOL, I wouldn’t be watching Tech News Today at all. Please adopt a better way of distributing your show, the current one sucks.

Wish you and Jason were back on BOL. I don’t like this venue. Adding TWIT programing to what is available on the LG Blu-ray drive attached to my TV would be a great solution. Then I would watch more TWIT programming. CNET is there, why not TWIT?

A long-time viewer.

Mind being more specific? Do you mean every single person? What topics have you found lacking recently? My aim is to put on the best show possible every day. Feel free to email me tnt@twit.tv

Tom, I followed you over from Buzz Out Loud because I enjoyed your show enthusiastically on a daily basis. Sad to say I am not enthusiastic about your new team. Additional homework is needed before each show, so your team is more up to date on current on current trends and technology.

I was listening to your podcast today and a member of your team indicated that he was having a hard time getting the iOS4 update for his iphone. Here is a quote from an article in the New York Times that has the answer:

“Although multi-tasking is arguably the standout feature of the iOS 4 software, users of older iPhones won’t be able to take advantage of the new functionality. Multi-tasking won’t work on the iPhone 3G or second generation iPod Touch devices. And those who still have the original iPhone can’t run the new software at all.” – Sarah Perez, “New iPhone Software Arrives Today-Can You Run It?,” June 21, 2010.

I’m thrilled to have all this good tech news available! thanks Tom and Leo

If you let me provide a little critical feedback. I;m not sure I can describe this correctly or not but I’ll try. Tom can you punch up the audio tone a little? I am not sure what, but it sounds like you are taking at the end of a tube (no not the internet). Sounds like a soft FM smooth jazz DJ, how about moving the tone a little more to the AM traffic report side?

Great luck to you, Tom, with your new show. One of the things you did REALLY well at BOL was pull together an interesting and diverse group of co-hosts. That kept the show fresh and lively with many opinions being aired. I hope you are able to do the same with your new show. We already hear (more than) enough of Leo and Company… so I hope you’ll be able to move past this initial phase of Tom and Leo. Cash some chits to get some other folks on mic with you in a hurry. Maybe start with Dr. Kiki, or some of the Frog Pants folks who are out there but not over-exposed yet?

I’m sure you’ll get it worked out soon enough. We’ll be listening

Tom

Would love it if you could get it in Itunes asap. So I can set up to download everyday before I forget. Maybe just a quick 2 or 3 minute test to get it in the store and we can set it to down load.

Thanks and break a leg. Leo and CNET ROCK!!!

Any man that can work Cthulhu into a technical conversation (and pronounce it as well as anybody without a mouthful of non-Euclidian tentacles – what?!) has my vote.
