Looks like Robert Scoble is making a move from Microsoft. Here’s a link to an article on Yahoo:

“Famed Microsoft blogger leaves for start-up”

[...] I did the same thing to Tracy Sheridan after I had problems participating in her initial Waxxi interactive podcast with Robert Scoble and Shel Israel. I had her email address as well but I blogged. Should I have emailed her? Possibly but blogging has become my natural response to events like this. [...]

I think that my thoughts are being echoed with the statement ” I think that you’re losing something with the slick editing. I see the value of it for general distribution, but I’d love to be able to link to a raw version.”

What will really be interesting in a chat instance(whatever platform, would be a direct translation model–( sic google translate) kinda thing. The gabber chooses a handle and a language of prefrence and the the display txt for that user will default into their chosen prefrence.

yeah, an On Demand systems “interupator”

Tracy, I think that you’re losing something with the slick editing. I see the value of it for general distribution, but I’d love to be able to link to a raw version. I’m recommending this technology to television station programmers and producers, and I want them to get some idea of the kind of direct interaction that went on in and around the actual “event” itself. You can’t get that from the edited version, and Skypecasting, besides requiring outside software, just fails to achieve the same level of direct conversation.

BTW, I agree with you about the importance of the chat aspect which is why I posted the entire chat (http://www.ptvguy.com/uploads/participatory-podcast-chat.html) as a separate link on my site. It’s a very important part of what went on.

The usefullness of this technology goes far beyond this kind of open conference. It extends the reach of local classrooms. It opens public debate and public discussion to a whole new level. In fact, it opens up whole new possiblities for global conversation.

At some point in the future, this will all be accepted as just the normal way to do things, but it isn’t right now. That’s why I see this as something of historical interest. It still is. You’ve done something important here. Like it or not, it will be noticed.

Easton, Thanks! We can’t wait for you to join us on future Waxxi casts. I enjoy your writing and still reference a blog comment of yours regarding Skypecasts: “it was a step in the Waxxi directions of better interactivity between people.” We like the way you think.

Tracy, I can’t wait to try Waxxi out. I’ve done a Skypecast and now I want to see how Waxxicasting compares .
