  1. Hey guys

    Still loving the show and listening to it while under way to work. One thing though about your shownotes: Is it possible to include the links with the time-slots you mention? For example, I was searching for the Bloggingplanet URL so I can post about it on my weblog (shameless plug!). I found it in the timeslots easy, but finding it in a bunch of links is quite hard. Since I’m all for effectiveness, you might give it thought.
    Thanks again for a great show. Neville, I heard you might be at the Blognomics.nl seminar in Amsterdam in april? It would be pleasure to meet you in person and talk a little about businessblogging.

  2. Neville,
    I have heard that one of the best voice recognition programs is “ScanSoft Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Preferred.” I do not have it, or have any interest in that company, but it’s a place to start. The Amazon link is http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0003009IK/ref=pd_sim_sw_1/104-1247289-3215122?v=glance&s=software.
    Best regards,
    —Richard

  3. Frank, good point re links/time slots. Maybe what we need to do is include the major discussion topic URLs in the timeslots section, with all the names, etc, we actually talk about where they currently are. Otherwise I think it will be a bit messy. Re the April event in Amsterdam, I’ve been chatting with Guido about that. An opportunity to meet, indeed.

    Richard, thanks for that tip. I know of that program so I’ll check it out. If I can just play it the MP3, that would be just great!

  4. Hi there… I very much enjoyed your Thursday podcast.  Quite enjoyable and interesting (and I have now subscribed).  The audio cutouts you mention were a bit distracting, but survivable.  On a similar note, though, I would comment that I found there to be a large difference between the audio levels.  Neville’s audio was loud while Shel’s was significantly softer.  I found that I was often adjusting the volume level depending upon who was talking.  Not a big deal, but I thought I would just pass that along.

    Thanks for the great commentary and I look forward to listening to future shows.
    Regards,
    Dan
