WinCustomize Live: Ep 1 - Watch the Recording

Published on November 9, 2007 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

The first live broadcast of WinCustomize Live finished up a little bit ago. If you weren't able to participate, be sure to check out the recorded video. It clocks in at around 64min and I spend most of it fielding questions from the chat channel.

Remember, this is the first major attempt we've made at this, so be kind. In the future we're looking to integrate Skype so we can do live calls and have more than one "voice" on the video to make it more interesting.

If you have any thoughts or feedback on how we can improve the show next time, let us know!

I missed it!

EDIT: I missed the scheduling article too. LOL!

Might consider having questions for the audience so the conversation goes both ways. I think keeping the topic concurrent with the goings-on at WC is a good idea. You might want to spur the convo by reading tidbits of WC or tech news. (I'm thinking the C-SPAN model. Set a topic, wait for participants, and toss in some relevant news items or points of interest)

Overall, you handled it well, Zoomba. Good job!

Next time it'll be

Shorter - An hour is too long unless there's something big to talk about
Have at least one voice more than mine.
Different camera angle. I am nowhere near as heavy as that video makes me look
I will have several topics ready to toss out there

If I can ever get Skype piped over the audio feed, I'll have ID as cohost, and I'll take call-ins.

Oh, I'll also talk slower.

Yeah, a half hour might be better.

Cool deal Zoom: 30 min would be good unless theres a major topic such as a upcoming release with screen shots of it or something .

Also I think a puppet show occasionally would be good... any body else miss the dino and guys from the desktop ohh and the occasional elbow?

Sorry I missed it Zoomba.. I did listen to the full hour today... not too many uncomfortable silences

Skype integration would certainly be a nice add on....also.. more chicks plz

Just watched the full hour. Didn't find it too long myself. As you said if ID is also there and you have audio for both side an hour would probably work. This also might bea good format for doing interviews with some of the top skinners...don't know if that would work with the distances involved. All in all this is a good idea.

Not bad Zoomba. Decent stuff. I especially how you fielded NTs question about the Stardock shirt. Employees only polo....really high-quality. Nothing but the best for Stardock employees!!!
