Right-o, should we start organizing this thing?
First of all, I’d like to co-host, if that’s alright with you guys.
Second, what kind of content are we talking here? I’d like to do a bit about the arcade, maybe we could do a little bit on Skype 2.5? Ideas?
By the by, I’m free the rest of tonight (it’s 6pm here), and most evenings all this week.
May 7, 2006 at 11:59 pm #144046TigerbladeParticipantwell there’s always the idea topic if we’re stuck for ideas…

May 10, 2006 at 4:12 pm #144038Jeff HesterKeymasterI want to record this podcast today — this afternoon PST. Spike, are you available later today? Anyone else want to join in?
There is a LOT of big news — AOL offering free phone numbers, WLM open beta, Trillian Astra, MySpaceIM — I think we’ve got plenty to cover!

May 11, 2006 at 2:26 am #144039Jeff HesterKeymasterIt’s Wednesday, May 10th, 2006 and you’re listening to BigBlueBall Instant Messaging Podcast #4
Intro music
Welcome to the BigBlueBall instant messaging podcast. I’m Jeff Hester, your host for this bi-weekly podcast covering everything you need to know from the world of instant messaging. This week there was an explosion of BIG IM news stories, including Microsoft opening Windows Live Messenger as a public beta, AIM battling Skype on the VoIP front, and… did MySpace really jump into the IM fray? We’ve also got the WINNER of the iPod contest, and of course, Shifter’s Rant of the Week.
As we get started, let me introduce our co-hosts for the show… With me today I have Jake Burgy, better known on our forums as Spike. Jake is an Advisor in both our Alternative IM forum and the Computer Support section. [Jake says hello, etc…]
Elisa Iorio is best known as Oreo, and she’s the Team Leader for the Community Center. [Elisa says hello, etc….]
And finally, he goes by Tigerblade on the forums — Tom Henrich, an Advisor in our popular AIM forums.
Well, there’s a LOT happening in the IM world, so let’s jump right in!
- Skype 2.5 beta; Skypecasts
- Windows Live Messenger goes to public beta
- AIM Phone
- Trillian Astra
- MySpaceIM
- AOL fights back against MySpace…with AIM Pages!
Shifter’s Rant of the Week
What’s new at BigBlueBall?
As I promised, we’ve finally got our winner in the BigBlueBall iPod giveaway… MrEggSalad (Ryan)…..
Arcade thing? as time allows.

May 11, 2006 at 10:06 pm #144040Jeff HesterKeymasterThe correct link is http://www.liveplasma.com/
May 11, 2006 at 10:08 pm #144057princeGParticipantDid you guys talk about the arcade too?
May 11, 2006 at 11:29 pm #144048TigerbladeParticipantthe arcade will be saved for next podcast’s discussion. it was already getting a bit longish and somewhat late, so we’ll do that next time.
May 12, 2006 at 12:17 am #144053SpikeMemberUm, that’s odd. For me, clicking on this: http://liveplasma.com/ goes to the same thing as http://www.liveplasma.com/.
And, yeah, I’ll maybe pop in at the end next time and do a quick explanation of everything our arcade can and can’t do.
Great job, by the way, guys, I had a lot of fun doing it! Got to know Tom and Elisa very well, too. We’ll have to do it again, sometime. 😉
