@radiotales: 2 things – One-those are NOT podcasts on your site, they are not downloadable, and they do not have an RSS feed to subscribe. #
@radiotales: No RSS feed, no subscribe function, especially for those who want them on the go, through iTunes, on their iPod. #
@radiotales: You are limiting people to listen on your site. #
@radiotales: Second – I tried to email info@americanradiotales.com on your site and it bounced back as invalid email address. #
@radiotales: Wanted to tell you podcast stuff in private, but since email address does not work, here I am! #
@FredWinston: Can you get in contact with Bob Shannon? See my tweet stream for what I said to him @radiotales – about his “podcast” #
@thestray78 Cust Serv. confirmed for me NO OCTOBER print issue-damaged in printing, subscriptions extended a month. #
@thestray78 You should have gotten a digital issue, if not, call cust. serv. and complain. More people complain, more attention they’ll pay #
I know I’ve been tweeting it a lot lately, but I have to say @geekmonthly and @play_magazine customer service really sucks. #
I’m just trying to get Geek Monthly to own up to their screwup of October issue for all subscribers (Play magazine is same publisher) #

http://twitpic.com/m42wy – Anyone know what kind of bugs these are? We’re seeing them a lot lately, and also last fall/winter too. #
@callaflower @richpav @leoraw I’ve smashed a bunch and no odor from them. Weird. #
@how2draw you will not ever see that issue in print.Something went wrong with the printing and it was never mailed to subscribers, or sold. #
@LanOC_Reviews http://www.geekmonthly.com #
Podcasters: if your audio quality sucks, you risk not just sending average joes away from your show, but from ALL podcasts. #
It’s hard enough for average joes to figure out how to subscribe, download and sync a podcast. #
If yours sucks – and it’s the first one they try – and they say “why bother?” then they may never come back. #
As techies and media creators we are a LOT more tolerant and willing to come back. #

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a WoW fishing app for the iPhone? Could level fishing anywhere. #

Doing work, grooving to the tunes. Frida – “There’s Something Going On” up on iPod. Must be a Flashback Friday! #
Simply Red’s “Sunrise” always sneaks up on me, the Hall & Oates sample always makes me think it’s Hall & Oates starting to play. #
Listening to the Fourcast Podcast – awesome show in which guests make predictions about the future. Jonathan Coulton on this week. #
HIMYM Fans-CBS actually took the time to register the domain Marshall mentioned in the episode: http://tinyurl.com/yg7smdh #
BReaking news: on the Fourcast Podcast:@jonathancoulton says he’d like to fight Lady Gaga in the ring! #
@sanjay Sorry to bother you man, but did you get Geek magazine October issue (Ricky Gervais) on the cover? Cust Serv. says no one got one. #
@Sanjay They say they were all damaged on way to post office, and they extended everyone’s subscription 1 month. #
Hey all GEEK MONTHLY SUBSCRIBERS: October issue was F’ed up. You will NOT be getting it in PRINT at ALL. Subscriptions extended 1 month. #
@Sanjay Thanks. Not just me. Good. #
@joncorzine @christiefornj Get in a boxing ring and duke it out. Sheesh. Meanwhile people who want real change will vote for @chrisdaggett #

Publishing Fail: New Hitchhiker’s Guide book not available as ebook except for iPhone/Ipod Touch. But it’s a 475MB app with “extras”. #
I just wanna read the text of the book on my iTouch, which can’t be more than a meg, at MOST. No plain ebook download anywhere. #
Watching Hell’s Kitchen finale. Can’t believe these three are the ones left. #
@davidjacobs Absolutely. This way I can actually lend it to folks and nit be stuck with an electronic only locked to my device version. in reply to davidjacobs #

@sanjay Not surprised at all. They have no digital strategy at all. Their blog up until about two weeks ago was lame. in reply to sanjay #
@sanjay Their twitter account has no tweets at all. Their editors aren’t on Twitter. No digital presence at all. #
@sanjay Pretty much all “old media” print strategy. Oh and they haven’t been able to fix my print subscription for 3 months. #
@sanjay – was the subject line of your email with the digital issue of Geek messed up? Did it say it was giving you the “Agust” issue? #
@sanjay reason I ask is I have been working with their sub dept. on the problems I had and if your email is same, then not just me for that. #
Love @DropBox. All my files in one place, and I can get at ‘em even on my iPod Touch. Have some PDFs and they load perfectly from DropBox. #
