It is ironic that a podcast that is all about technology is unavailable due to the stream disappearing. I've written several times about TWIT. Just a wonderful & entertaining way to learn about technology. But yesterday's episode is AWOL.
Usually I download it through iTunes on Monday (The show is live on Sunday afternoons). Well, iTunes doesn't have it. OK, well I'll just watch it from the Twit.tv website. Sorry, stream can't be found. Lots of comments on the site about this very problem.
You would think that with all the people writing about the problem, something would be done, but no. Not sure if this means no one cares, or if the people running the site (hello, Leo, are you there?) even read the comments which would tell them there is a problem.
I am afraid that this is bad news for a tech site. Do I have to find another podcast to watch, or do I just say, "the heck with this, it was fun while it lasted"? I've been listening to or watching TWIT for at least two years. OK, that's not a lot. I'm sure some of the listeners/viewers have been there since the beginning. But again, this is a problem with internet based video. While people say they don't have TV's & only watch online, this is why that won't work. The networks don't go down. Your cable may go out, but the show will be available. Streams are not always available. In fact, I started downloading TWIT because the stream from the website didn't always work. Duh! So why is it not on iTunes? A day later?
