It's that time again! Get it while it's.......well, frankly, get it whenever you have an hour...it's not going anywhere :D

This week we had slightly less technical problems., but still a couple issues (of course), but it was a great episode, and the chatroom was especially full, which was awesome.

Brad,

I had a most enjoyable time on the call and enjoyed chatting with and putting voices to some of the Newsvine Legends (Viki and Celestina) and to my friends (Azsky13 and Perrie) and....oh yeah, you too. :-) Watching the chatroom during the conversation was hilarious too. jack is one sick dude.

I hope that "sick" here means "awesometastic", not "kinkily disturbing." :-P

I blame lauhal for bringing out my random-er side.

Good vinecast. This was my first week in the chatroom and I had a blast.

And Jack, I haven't forgotten my promise to get you that biceps photo. (yes I kept that intentionally vague)

It was a pile of fun, for sure. Hopefully doing it with the live interaction of the chatroom will help it grow and get more people involved, even if just in the peanut gallery :)

Ok, now that I've seen the chat. (Azsky13 saved a copy of it) I see how many times I came in and out. That's just embarrassing! *covers head with paws and hopes no one sees me*

I still don't know what my problem was but you can bet I won't be using my login over there until I figure it out! Ha!

Hey Brad,

Last night was a lot of fun! Thank you for letting me talk about GNW. I will definitely be showing up in chat in the future. Right now my Monday nights are free.

As for my copy of the chat.... It may prove useful in the future. *smile*

It was great having you on. :)

Silly me, I never even thought of keeping a copy of the chat. I'll have to do that in the future. Any chance I could get that off ya? I'd love to share it with the shownotes. Drop me an email at mailbag@thevinecast.com...if you should choose to share that is... :D

This is so cool. I'm so totally computer illiterate and so this is the first time I've "played" with something like this and I'm listening to the "podcast" right now. Totally enjoying it. I'm learning...you get smarter on the Vine right? LOL.

This is totally great! Thanks to all of you!

Boy is this return well-timed! :D

There I was, popping over to the iTunes store to subscribe to Armin van Buuren's State of Trance podcast, and I see that my lappy has seen fit to download some episodes of the Vinecast. It's back? I think. Why apparently so, and just when I've decided to get my head back in the world! Most excellent. I'll give this one the listen at work tomorrow.

Always expect anything surrounding the Vinecast to be "on the record" :P

1 vote

#13.2 - Thu Mar 26, 2009 11:39 PM EDT

Brad - IMO I believe that people should be aware that the chat transcript will be published. They sould be made aware BEFORE they enter the chatroom.

4 votes

#13.3 - Thu Mar 26, 2009 11:44 PM EDT

Fair enough...if anyone from the last chat is annoyed with me for posting it, I'll take it down...from here on in, I'll make sure to mention it in the chat when the recording starts :)

#13.4 - Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:04 AM EDT

I've taken the transcript down for now, and before posting any in the future I will be sure to seek the opinions and aprovals of those in the chat. So if for some reason you don't like the idea of the chat being posted, you're safe....at least until I can personally change your mind :P

#13.5 - Fri Mar 27, 2009 9:58 AM EDT

It's no big deal. I don't think anyone is annoyed. It's just that people who are chatting should know that it will be posted. Hopefully, it won't curb anyone's enthusiasm!

#13.6 - Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:11 AM EDT

Scott (Scoop) Butki

Yeah I had a similar reaction as 13.3 - I didnt say anything awful but I thought it was off the record fun and I'll be on more careful alert next time.

It's a bit of "the shoe is now on the other foot," though, as I spent ten years trying to get off the record stuff on the record and now i'm getting skittish because of off the record stuff.

#13.7 - Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:50 PM EDT

Uummm....new at this....when you do a vinecast like this, can anyone join in the chat room? If so, how do you find it?

3 votes

#14 - Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:26 PM EDT

Yeah, anyone can join the chat, and anyone can call in, I won't unmute anyone without at least knowing who they are to avoid spamming jackasses, and depending what's going on I may or may not have everyone unmuted for the call itself, but everyone can always hear the call and talk in the chat. :)

You can find the chatroom starting at about 7:45pm on Monday nights on the Vinecast's talkshoe page. When the call is active, the timer with a count down to the next episode turns into a "join the call" button.

You can join anonymously by just joining the call without signing up, but if you want to participate in the chat or the call it's best to signup for a talkshoe account (which is free) so people in the chat can see who you are, rather than a "guest" account. But that's up to you :)

#14.1 - Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:51 PM EDT

Thanks Brad. I'm thinking I did sign up then, the other night after listening to the podcast thing. But I'll double check to be sure, okay? Thanks again. :)

(Whoa...just went to the link you provided....looks like the next one is scheduled for 8:00 pm EDT? That makes it 10:00 pm for me as I'm mountain time....not sure if I'd be participating at that time anyway. Thanks though!)

2 votes

#14.2 - Fri Mar 27, 2009 1:35 PM EDT

I'm up for flexibility of recording time if enough people have a better idea, but for now at least, it's at 8pm EST, yeah.
