The Return of The Gazebo!

Jake — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 06:21:25 +0000

The Gazebo On The Go podcast is back for it’s one year birthday, it’s third season, and it’s best season EVER. Season 3 of The Gazebo starts with a live recording broadcasting live on the internet at awesomeinc.tv/live this MONDAY at 7PM EASTERN.

Are you a person? With a microphone? and a Skype connection? We want YOU to join us on The Gazebo! Leave a comment or contact us somehow.

Do you make music? We will play it at the end of an episode in Season 3! Again, contact us in the comments or someway.

A History of The Gazebo On the Go

When Jake and Allyn started the podcast one year ago they turned on Skype, hit record, and literally had no idea what they were going to do. Jake didn’t want the show to be too similar to Allyn’s vBlog and Allyn was doing as he was told. Jake decided to start off with talking about something and they would do a couple of segments and see which one was usable. They ended up doing five segments before calling it a night. Jake listened to the recordings and decided that they were all brilliant and stitched it together with some instrumental part of a ska song he liked. This built the outline of the worlds greatest podcast.

Jake and Allyn decided to do this podcast once a week while they were in a college semester, the fall and spring seasons were formed. This gave them twelve weeks, recording one podcast a week. After seeing the initial success of the twelve episodes the season finale live show was created.

Back during the last election Jake and his buddy Matt did a live stream of the counting of the electoral votes. This not only was live, but live with video. Jake had to manually man the switcher and get people calling in on Skype on the screen. That is a complicated thing to do by yourself. During Season 2 of The Gazebo On The Go, Jake decided to do live audio of all the future shows, and this tradition continues into Season 3.

The SteepFrugut Industries

Jake — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 04:14:30 +0000

Since we have acquired Game Monkey and I Saw What You Did There we have gained some new listeners. These listeners don’t like Jake’s shtick. In fact, they might even hate The Gazebo on the Go. So for those buggers we have made the link awesomeinc.tv/steepfrugut. Think of it as a website without podcasts made by Jake, you damn commie.

The Link — The RSS Feed — The iTunes Link

We’re Two!

Jake — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:59:26 +0000

Hey remember when we launched? December 15th 2007. We’re totally two years old now. How have we grown? In the first year we launched seven podcasts. In the second year we launched 6.

We have a great podcast called The Gazebo on the Go which is our star child.
Our shows have been watched/listened to over one hundred thousand times.
We’ve worked with a lot of people.
We’ve been ripped off by some dumb hicks in Kentucky.
We’ve pissed off Veronica Belmont.
We’ve rick rolled a radio station.
Jake enraged Blackberry owners into sending him death threats for saying the Blackberry Storm sucks, which it does.
We’ve also launched two CDs of The Gazebo on the Go that people can buy.
We’ve covered live events about corn bread and moon pies.
We’ve acquired two great podcasts from Kyle Lahr.
In the month of November we did a podcast a day.
Jake’s vBlog did three shows a week for a year straight without fail.
At the time of this posting we’ve posted 315 episodes of our shows, and have 6 in the can.
Jake did a live all day episode where he was live on Ustream for 12 hours straight, from wake till sleep. He took the camera with him all over Chattanooga.
The Gazebo started live streaming their episodes.

In 2010 we plan on burning that fire of Awesome all the way to the bank.

Jake — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:01:44 +0000

There’s a new show Jake is experimenting with. Jake likes to do this during the off-season of The Gazebo, for the record. This show is called At the End of the Day with Jake. This will be a slightly funny podcast about Jake’s day. Short, long, however long Jake can go on. Our good friend Kyle “Big Dog” Lahr has made a wallpaper for this podcast you can download by clicking the image above.

The first episode will air this Tuesday. Stay tuned!

The Gazebo Survey Results

Jake — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:51:04 +0000

For those interested in the results of The Gazebo on the Go survey:

Favorite Segment: Thank Yous and Fuck Yous
Favorite Male Guest: Gisher (though Justin has the most votes, I suspect some George W. Bush v. Florida trickery)
Favorite Female Guest: Hailey Yeliah
Would a funny pre-roll ad bother you? 1 person said yes. Allyn crippled him. Now no one has an issue.
Would getting rid of the segment breaks bother you? The majority said yes.
Would you watch us record live on a weekly schedule at the same time? Two people said no. Again, Allyn crippled them so they have no where to go and will now be clockworked-orange’d into watching the show. So now everyone says yes, they will watch the live show.

Favorite Segments In Order of Popularity

Having a Guest on the show.
The Gazebo News
Allyn’s Necrophilia Jokes
Jake Sings an Intro
Jake Fights Allyn
Solo Shows

Comments left for us consisted of: “Big dog,” “I love you man,” “I am pimping my rating by [voting for] clicking Shawn0,” and “Weekly live shows need to be when I have no work so I can attend. Otherwise the show is great dude. I can’t wait till Mondays.”

Remember: We are not a democracy, we don’t care what you think, we have made a show you like so far and we will continue to do things our way because it got us here before. After all, we’re doing The Gazebo and you’re posting quizzes to Facebook. I think we’re the better man here, I think you will agree.

My thoughts on the results:

I was surprised how many people enjoy The Gazebo News. I mean, it is the entire point of the show and we would never get rid of it, it’s just shocking compared to the other results. Some of the stuff in the favorite segment list I just have to ask: What the hell is wrong with our listeners? You guys are crazy! Necrophilia jokes really? Okay next show is all Chuck Norris jokes and pirate vs ninja debates. Oh, and Allyn will wear all Hot Topic clothing and Fall Out Boy will be our intro music. Just kidding, I love you guys, but sometimes I wonder.

What really shocked me was how many people were passionate about the segment breaks. I thought it wouldn’t matter to the listener, but I was wrong. I am going to guess it is because you guys are busy people. Our listeners have 5 minute lunch breaks at the Seven Eleven and need the show in chunks so you can keep up easily. Also: our listeners have short attention spans. Again, I tease.

Thanks to everyone for taking the survey! Season 3 is under heavy crafting to bring you the same on-the-spot humor we’ve been doing since episode one.

If We Put Ads in The Gazebo

Jake — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 02:32:05 +0000

Adding advertisements to a podcast is very touchy. People do not just like ads, you’ve got to make them want to like them. I’d like to let you know what is going through our head when we say we want to have a short funny pre-roll ad on The Gazebo.

Some great examples of podcasting ads are:

The Totally Rad Show – they are *very* sincere and add a mild joke.
Never Not Funny – they talk about the ad and sometimes in a way the advertiser themselves have to have a sense of humor about.
Film Riot – these people are a freaking genius. They do a short movie-style clip for their ads that are no only very well done but hilarious.

Some examples on how NOT to do podcasting ads:

This Week in Tech – I love Leo to death but his ads range from 2 minutes to 20 minutes long where he goes on like a mindless drone about a product. He says he truly loves the product, and I believe him, but after 2 minutes I wish he would just shut up.
Diggnation – Another show I love but they have pre-roll and ads in the middle of the show. Okay, that’s not too bad, but it gets worse: they have around five sponsors. That is way too many. (10 ads in one 45 minute show).

Here’s my theory on ads:
Limit them. The Gazebo will only have 1 at the beginning and that is it. If I start letting two ads on, they won’t feel the need to compete and will lower how much they pay. Limiting the amount of advertisers will lead to them competing to be the advertiser for your show.

Read the points, don’t be a whore.
We will have fun with the ads but we won’t read ad copy. We will promote the product in a positive way and a funny way.

Make it short and sweet and good to eat.
You hate ads, I hate ads. We start doing long ads, we start losing viewers. We’d rather give the advertiser the finger than lose a viewer that way. Jake and Allyn would rather make an offensive joke to turn you off then read an ad. Takes more skill that way.

Where the ad revenue will go:
100% of the money we receive, like with donations and merchandise, go directly to the show. New microphones and etc. No profits for us. That’s not to say that when we eventually become profitable that won’t change though.

I hope I have made our intentions clear. We are still working this stuff out. Hell, we haven’t even got an advertiser yet, but we hope to.

The Gazebo Survey

Jake — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:33:44 +0000

While the Gazebo on the Go is completely Jake and Allyn’s show and we don’t make decisions based on the listeners, we do want to know what you think.

So please take a second and fill out this survey.

The Gazebo Live Results

Jake — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 02:51:10 +0000

Whoa! So I had no idea people actually was interested in a live Gazebo on the Go. So, Allyn and I were doing the show and I look down and I had to keep from freaking out. 30 people was watching at that very moment. My mind: blow. My pants: wet. Amazing! Then I check and we had 70 different people watching our show tonight. Mind: double blow. Pants: double wet.

Here’s The Deal

We are doing this again. We love you guys. We love doing this. I said we’re going to keep doing this even if no one listens. I mean it. But we also want to be successful. We will do one more live show this season of The Gazebo. The date has not been decided yet.

The Future of The Gazebo

I am already planning Season 3 of The Gazebo. We want to do this professionally. We want to get paid. Allyn and I are two smart genius college students and this is what we want to do. We want to wise up and get our stuff together. What will change in Season 3? I cannot say much but it will be the same show, new guests, and more awesome. I want to do every show live, but I do not know how possible that is right now.

TO INFINITY AND HOT GROUPIES!

When I was 14/15 years old my friends and I started work on what I guess eventually evolved into what Awesome Inc is today. We called it ZPTV, ZicklePop Television. While going through some of my old junk I found the DVD we made. Ripped it. Uploaded it. I plan on uploading some to the Specials section for the next couple of weeks, not because it’s good, but because I was such a cute kid. That and my friends all reference these videos and the new friends have never seen them.

Contest Winners: Write Our Slogan!

Jake — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:05:58 +0000

Man you guys are fast with the @replies. Maybe a little too fast.. did you cheat? I bet you cheated. That’s beside the point. The contest is over and lets run through the full list of submissions.

My top 3 favorite slogans:

“Die in a fire of awesome.” – @Moodringeyes
“Your source of prime penis jokes since blink-182 went south.” – @Allyn_Crabtree
“Because we don’t give a damn about grammar.” – @Snyderman34

If you’re in the top three YOU GET A FREE AWESOME STICKER! If you’re #1 YOUR SLOGAN WON! That’s right, the new slogan for Awesome Inc is DIE IN A FIRE OF AWESOME.

I picked DIE IN A FIRE OF AWESOME because it just sounds awesome and doesn’t use naughty words that would hurt our public image. I really liked Allyn_Crabtree’s penis joke slogan because it’s true. We are what Blink 182 was if they never grew up (and then started a podcast). Snyderman34’s “We don’t give a fuck about grammar” was good because it used our own words against us (see The Gazebo on the Go).

Full list of entries:

“Awesome Inc. Yeah. We’re that awesome.” – @Shawn0
“Incorporating Awesome since 2007″ – @Snyderman34
“Burping Lies, Throwing Up Unbearable Truths, and Shitting Awesome!!” – @VampireSam
“Where a nerd can do whatever the fuck he damn well pleases!” – @Allyn_Crabtree
“Much better than your average entertainment. Blowing your mind with our whit and rhyme. Awesome just got better.” – @SteepFrugut
“Your source of prime penis jokes since blink-182 went south.” – @Allyn_Crabtree
“Because we don’t give a damn about grammar.” – @Snyderman34
“Die in a fire of awesome.” – @Moodringeyes
“Rotting you brain one piece of shit at a time” – @VampireSam
“Awesome at it’s best.” – @SteepFrugut

Contest: Write Our Slogan!

Jake — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:09:44 +0000

Where awesome blossoms.

When I started Awesome Inc, before those other guys, I had to think of a slogan for Awesome Inc. Now as you know from listening to my work on The Gazebo and Truck, when I improv it is not only hilarious but sometimes stupid. I came up with the slogan “Where awesome blossoms.” We’ve been around for a year and I think we’ve blossomed from a young innocent Catholic school girl in to a naughty maturing woman. That is why we are giving YOU the awesome ability to write our slogan!

What You Get

The winner will receive one (1) official ZicklePop sticker. All entries will be read on an upcoming ~~podcast~~ post.

How To Enter

Go on Twitter and @reply ZicklePop with your slogan. Winners will be announced on Thursday.

Awesome Summer Vacation

Jake — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:39:19 +0000

So you’re probably thinking to yourself: where are you guys? Everyone is fine! The Gazebo on the Go Podcast is taking a summer break, we planned a bunch of “Best Of” episodes but I have been busy and those have yet to be edited. Truck’s last episode in the vault was released last Friday. These two shows are what we at Awesome Inc are putting all our weight behind. I love making these shows. That said we are not making a lot of new content right now and for that I apologize. WE WILL BE BACK!

I am in the beginning stages of moving, and this should make for some good fun. UNTIL WE RETURN: Become a fan of us on Facebook!

Also: any hiccups on the site you notice are due to Wordpress’s buggy auto-update system. Why update Wordpress when the old one works? Because the jerks over at Dreamhost force you to stay up to date on Wordpress or they kick you off their servers. Jerks.

Introducing ‘Truck’

Jake — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:22:08 +0000

The Gazebo on the Go Podcast with Jake Bilbrey and Allyn Crabtree has been, to say the least, a massive sucess. I’ve heard nothing but good reviews and it has a growing fan base that does include “ladies.” The problem with this show is Jake has a lot of free time and Allyn actually does stuff. Other complications are getting a guest, setting up Skype, editing the program, and you know.. doing things. While Jake loves the Gazebo on the Go Podcast, he wants to do more. This is where the the video spin-off of the Gazebo on the Go Podcast comes in.

Truck is the video version of The Gazebo on The Go podcast. For the most part you do not actually have to watch it, just listen. This podcast is easier to record in that there is no Skype to set up, Jake just turns on a camera and hits record. The length of the podcast will vary and the person Jake is talking to will constantly change. You might recongnize some of the people who appear from previous Gazebos.

So the simplicity of Truck over Gazebo may not make sense to you, but it does to me. We hope you enjoy it. The Gazebo is probably going to take a summer break (after next week), but we will still be pushing out content week after week!

State of the Gazebo

Jake — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:35:17 +0000

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for gathering here today as we start talking about The State of the Gazebo. As you have noticed here at Awesome Inc we have been putting the majority of our chickens in one basket: The Gazebo On the Go Podcast. Don’t be fooled, the state of the Gazebo is strong. Of course, we couldn’t fool you, you know the podcast is doing well. How well? Let’s look at the graph.

Green: Last Year, Blue: This Year

So while the viewership of Awesome Inc has spiked, I have no idea how many people listen. None whatsoever. I don’t care how many people listen. This is a show made by Allyn and I for Allyn and I. We love the fact that people might also enjoy it, but we’re doing it for ourselves. The podcast is a MAJOR SUCCESS to me because I love making it. Every week I cannot wait for Monday night at 8PM when we get together to record. We don’t prepare. We do this show as a improv experiment. To quote the end of one of the greatest records ever made, Keasby Nights:

We’re going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold.
We’re going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold.
We’re going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold.
We’re going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold.
We’re going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold.
We’re going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold.

Streetlight Manifest – 1234 1234

Just replace record with advertisement for the show. Yeah, we’d love to make some ad revenue off this thing!

One of the things Allyn and I are trying to do is have a different guest on every week. This can get hard because most people work, you know at like a job, on Monday nights. So we’re trying to come up with a better time, I don’t know, we will see. If you would like to be on please contact our agents, we’d love to have you on.

This is Captain Awesome, signing off.

Now I’m not going to lie to you: I’ve NEVER had a Moon Pie before. I’ve had an RC cola once, in colllege, I was under the influence and there was no vomit to drink. It’s cool though because they both taste like MEDICORE AWESOME!

June 20th. This year. Saturday. Bell Buckle, TN.
See you there.

NightmareHost

Jake — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 00:49:10 +0000

Okay so here’s the deal: I was rudely contacted Tuesday by the jerks over at Dreamhost. They were our fabulous hosting company, now they’re just jerks with hosting we can afford on a podcasters budget. What they did was scan all our files on their servers for a versions of Wordpress. You know, kinda like wiretapping but… you know, byte tapping? Then they emailed me saying “You can’t use Wordpress 2.5 on our servers.” I responded to them by saying “Stay out of my crap. I need Wordpress 2.5 to run Podpress to keep my business going.” I got a response today saying pack up my crap and leave then.

Now when you have loads of large videos on your site you don’t want to do that if you don’t, so I’ve updated to the latest Wordpress and swapped from Podpress to Blubrry PowerPress. Luckily, everything worked out fine. (Except the user interface of Wordpress 2.7 looks like butt.)

Unfortunately there was no reason to upgrade and the Big Brother Dreamhost could come along tomorrow and say we can’t put flash on our site or XHTML 4.0 Strict.

Anyway, enough of this crap, back to podcasting. The Awesome Inc agenda post is coming up next!

(Yes they can do what they want, it’s there service. It doesn’t mean I’m going to like it.)

The Gazebo On The Go Podcast

Jake — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 05:21:26 +0000

Okay so the other day I posted this completely insane article on this new “podcast” that was “in development” called “The Gazebo On The Go Podcast.” You saps, you crazy kids you! You thought I was serious, and after everything I have done I don’t blame you for thinking I was serious. Well it’s real now. We’re going to make an audio comedy podcast. The cast isn’t set it stone but we’re hoping to have Matt and Allyn of Awesome Inc on board and maybe some of the rest of the crew.

To keep up with the development you can follow @TheGazebo on Twitter, and remember you can be notified when new podcasts come out by following @AwesomeInc.

The Awesome Inc Future and You

Jake — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 04:17:06 +0000

We are questioning our direction as a podcasting network. We have learned a lot in the past year and we are taking that to heart. We’ve also learned from our competitors who are struggling right now. This is not any of that “the economy is killing us” crap. This is about making a quality product.

We’ve learned from Revision3 that you do not need a studio. We’ve learned from Buzz Out Loud that daily tech news does not work when there is no news. Our most important lesson is from Merlin Mann that we don’t need to do podcasts on a schedule but release good content when we have it. We’ve learned from our experiences that we are pretty freaking awesome (and the Blackberry isn’t).

So the crew of Awesome Inc have put together our cyborg heads and cut through the static electricity and have come up with the best formula for a podcast ever. C’mon what is you’re favorite thing in the world? Gazebos. Hell yeah. Now what’s your biggest issue with a Gazebo? It’s not portable! We’ll we found a truck carrying freakin gazebos at 75 miles per hour and we’re gonna hijack that truck and drive it into your ear buds! That’s right! We’re bringing you THE GAZEBO ON-THE-GO PODCAST!

The Curious Tale of the Awesome Inc Crew

Jake — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 17:11:09 +0000

So this past week has been an amazing one for all of us at Awesome Inc! Kyle dressed up as a Storm Trooper and terrorized local businesses and made the day of children he met. Dude, don’t care how dorky and well virginy it may look, it’s still cool. You can see video of his adventures on his YouTube account.

Last night Allyn was on Indie Radio Chattanooga with his band Disarmed. The podcast from that show is not yet out but keep checking for an hour long interview with the band!

Oh and about me! So last Wednesday on Jake’s vBlog I reviewed the Blackberry Storm and made some honest points about how it does not have basic email features that any “email device” should have. By doing this you would have though I had killed a baby, I got so much hatemail. People contacting me to call me an.. well.. we don’t use those words at Awesome Inc. On YouTube it was pretty much your 12 year-old white supremecist with a Blackberry response, some comments on the site demanding I take the video down. I am tempted to do more podcasts on why the Blackberry Storm sucks because it is just an awful device (and it brings viewers fast). Oh and they called me an Apple fanboy. Am I? Check out my latest blog post guys, I am not to happy with Apple right now.

Allyn on Indie Radio Chattanooga TOMORROW

Jake — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:07:58 +0000

Allyn has been playing with his kick ass band Disarmed forever now and they are finally getting the recognition they deserve.

Episode 158: Blackberry Sucks for Email

Jake — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:22:10 +0000

Today I discussed

Does not sync read/unread. Does not have basic email features to be expected.
Where’s that cut and paste? I didn’t see any of that. I may be mistaken but I don’t think I am.
At one point in my review I said this operating system is made for the Blackberry Curve, I meant the Bold. Though any phone that makes you use predictive text is awful.

Update: Some rude kid on YouTube suggested swiping the screen to get the keyboard out of the way, don’t know if it works or not but I will try it later. If this is the case, and anyone who curses a lot can’t be wrong, it brings up the biggest issue with this phone: The user interface. It is not intuitive at all. If something is swipe-able on the iPhone: you know it. While the tech specs of the Storm say you can do pinching gestures, I find this to be a complete lie, because if it does: it doesn’t work. To those who say return it: It’s not mine. I’m not stupid enough to buy a Blackberry. I own a real phone, the iPhone. It supports IMAP, POP, and Exchange email syncing perfectly. I can delete multiple emails without getting carpal tunnel. The keyboard on the Blackberry is worse then the iPhone, so I’ll leave you with this question on the only real issue with the iPhone. What do you chose: No removable battery or no usability?

Indie Radio Chattanooga Falls Victim

Jake — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 05:20:59 +0000

NEW YORK, NY: Last Saturday night the good friends of the Awesome Inc podcasting network fell victim to a vile stunt pulled by our head liner Jake Bilbrey of Jake’s vBlog. On Twitter @indieradiochatt said his radio show was going to allow people to upload songs to him. Our host of Allyn’s vBlog uploaded some tracks of his great band Disarmed and foolishly told Jake about this. Jake quickly grabbed his MP3 of Rick Astley’s hit song “Never Gonna Give You Up” and changed the name to the stupidest thing he could “Metal Boyz” with the song “Give You.” Hoping to see a twitter from @indieradiochatt about some foolish moron trying to “Rick Roll” him. We’ll that wasn’t the case. Saturday night came and Jake Bilbrey became the shock jock of Awesome Inc.

Previous employee of Awesome Inc, Mr. B, had this to say:

Jake is a jackass.
– Mr. B

The CEO and Chief BBQ of Awesome Inc have issued an appology to the great radio program and podcast Indie Radio Chattanooga that you can watch live on Ustream on Saturday nights.

The episode of their show is show 78, ironical titled Asshattery and Douchebaggery

Hard Times at Awesome Inc

Jake — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:00:26 +0000

We’ve all seen the economy. We know what it is like to look down. Things at Awesome Inc have never been better but we have to make some changes to stay afloat.

Our most popular show, Mr. B Saves the World, is being canceled. Sure Mr. B brought us lots of revenue and marketing opportunities but we can’t afford it in this down market. With jobs being more and more scarcse it pains me to say this but we will also be firing Mr. B. All of the past episodes of Mr. B Saves the World will remain on hand and we will release one more episode this Sunday.

Now don’t think Awesome Inc is “lost” or anything, we will make up for it by letting anyone with a YouTube account post fart jokes at the all new Awesome Inc Beta. If yours is raunchy enough we may pay you, just like we used to pay Mr. B, for your material.

Please do not blog about this and do not ask “Why couldn’t a crappy show like Kyle’s vBlog be canceled!?” because that is like questioning your President: It only makes things worse.

Just ask Veronica.

Revision3 Is Lost

Jake — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:32:01 +0000

Revision3 was started with the viewer in mind and because of that they have made some great shows like Diggnation, Totally Rad Show, Web Drifter, and Scam School. Yesterday they killed and laid off a lot of their staff destroying some of the their best shows while allowing some of their shows of lesser content to survive. The creep Jim Louderback had failed to mention that these people were being laid off in his press release. The Revision3 content goal was always supposed to be for the viewers and for the niche markets. A couple of the shows they canceled were just added. “Hey come here, now go away!”

Lets take a look at some of the low rated or just plain awful shows on their network now.

Systm – This show hasn’t been the same since Kevin Rose and Dan Huard left. (Where is Dan?)
Tekzilla – This show was hurt by Jessica Corbin when it first came out so they made the smart move and got rid of her. Bad news is they put Veronica Belmont in her place. Veronica and Patrick Norton now spew such lies as “People don’t use Firewire” and are often wrong on their advice because they apparently have no time to study what the topic is. Update: I don’t hate them, in fact the opposite, I just wish they’d review what they talk about a little more.
XLR8R – I don’t even know what the hell this is or why it’s here.
The GigaOm Show – Business news for suit in ties in a young adults network? Talking about Web 2.0? You can see how this show can easily get annoying.
The Digg Reel – Hey I got an idea lets go take content from Digg.com (worked with Diggnation) but only the sleezy YouTube videos. Oh and let’s only show 30 seconds of it. Reusing other peoples content and adding no real content of your own. You know what? I’m gonna steal this idea. It’s not like anyone watches this show.

And before I go I want to mention their daily “Bite” shows. Tekzilla and Internet Superstar do these daily 30-second videos with some awful content. What’s worse is each one of these 30-second shows has two minutes of advertisements.

We love our friends at Revision3 and we hope they turn it around, but it doesn’t look likely.

Update: This isn’t meant to be mean spirited but more tough love and to say the shows they got rid of surely are not as bad as the other ones.

Bye Bye Vimeo

Jake — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:51:55 +0000

Here’s the deal: when I started Awesome Inc I chose Vimeo to be the flash browser of choice. I found YouTube to be filled with junk and an awful user interface. Recently Vimeo has been having some down-time issues. This is something we don’t want over here at Awesome Inc. In addition Vimeo has started to limit what type of content their users can upload. This has not had an effect on us yet. I do not want any limitations and the fact that Vimeo can disrupt my business is totally not cool dude. So from today on this site is 100% self-reliant.

We host our own content. We make it for our self. We do what we want. We will continue to upload our videos to YouTube for easy viewing on devices like the Nintendo Wii, Apple TV, and iPods. We will continue to be on iTunes.

Also to speak of advertisements: We are still accepting ads yes but I need to say I am quite disapointed with some podcast networks and their recent aquirement of advertisements. A five minute show does not need a 30-second ad. So a podcast such as Jake’s vBlog will never have a full-feldged ad. If it ever gets an ad it will be simply “Hi I’m Jake and this is my Awesome Cast, sponored by Google” and then the content flows.

Jake’s Approach to Podcasting

Jake — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:48:47 +0000

The great Jake Bilbrey of Jake’s vBlog and Mr. B Saves The World has written an excellent blog post on how he decides and creates his show. Sounds like he will be rolling in dough from niche-market-marketing.

The Purist Form of Art

I just got back from Ska Weekend and when I was there one of the bands said “Yeah we’re not as good as [mainstream band]” I wanted to slap the man. I came to see independent ska bands because they have music that they like and made without force. When a band is mainstream they have to answer to labels. That ruins their music. The same applies to podcasts and other forms of art. I won’t let them get me.

You can find more of this truly awesome mans ideas at Jake Bilbrey.com

This leads me to our next topic:

Comment Management!

I will not censor the comments here, I take that back. I will censor hate speech and trollage. If you think the show sucks say why and what any of us can do to fix it. As Cory mentions in Episode 1 of his vBlog: Don’t be a douche.

Matt is Down With The Sickness

Jake — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 03:07:46 +0000

It’s been a rough week for myself and Matt isn’t up to snuff so we are taking the week off for Awesome Inc Tech.

It’s okay though because the only thing that happened this week in technology was Apple releasing it’s SDK for the iPhone, and while there was some good, I can say that I wasn’t too happy. I think Apple is acting like the father of a girl he wants to keep safe but knows someday she’s gonna go off and find a man.

Let it be known, even though there is no Awesome Inc Tech this week, that this week at Awesome Inc will still be awesome!
