TWiT 207: Grandpa’s Woody

by Jonathan Downin in Tech389 days ago

Twitter, Facebook and a few other big social networking sites were hit by a flood of traffic which culminated in a direct denial of service attack.  The greatest impact was felt by Twitter, which just reiterated the fragile state of Twitter’s infrastructure.  Why is it that other huge platforms can handle this kind of situation, but Twitter was down for over a day? Facebook is now the 4th biggest site on the internet.  At 340 million unique visitors a month, it has beaten MySpace at its peak by almost 250 million.  The only companies in...

TWiT 195: A Series Of Tube Tops

by Jonathan Downin in Tech472 days ago

Another great episode of TWiT this week.  It’s nice that Leo mixes up the group a lot and having Dvorak on the show is always a good thing. If you haven’t heard about Wolfram Alpha yet Leo and the group talk about it this week.  As they iterate time and time again, it is not a search engine.  It’s purpose is to be able to provide statistical data for anything you are looking for.  It is a first of its kind and while it isn’t quite there yet, it is a pretty amazing service in theory.  GO check it out and you may be surprised...

Dvorak makes an interesting point about journalism in this episode.  He says that it is actually easier to write a lot of articles a month rather than a few.  It is just the nature of “getting in the groove.”  That’s a concept that isn’t lost around here.

TWiT 175: Highlights And Lowlifes 2008

by Jonathan Downin in Tech613 days ago

We are lucky enough to get a clip show on this weeks episode of TWiT.  When it comes to a weekly show, making a clip show is incredibly time consuming and labor intensive so it great to get this one. Listening to all of these clips makes me glad I put TWiT in the top 5 that I put out a few days ago.  The discussion here is great with so many different points of view from so many people.  You absolutely will not find another tech podcast with a better roster than this. A selection of good and bad TWiT clips from 2008, featuring many of this year’s...
