Hak.5 Joins Revision 3, (Good || Bad)?

[sablefoxx]

Well i am sort of sad to see this happen, i always like how internet tv was always independent of one another, but i also like some of the stuff rev3 has been doing. So i am sad to see the old hak.5 (it will never be the same) go, but i am still very optimistic about the future, however this could also be the beginning of the end.

Bad!!!

With the advertising and audience, it may has well have started out there. I'm sure they've been hankering for new techie content ever since their defunct podcast thebroken stopped releasing new episodes. I was always more entertained by that one, not to say that hak5 isn't informative, it's just not as entertaining.

I vote good.

Its a fluid situation, and it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

I don't know I would like to see this question be asked half way through an at the end of the coming series. If hak5 changed for the worse people will vote with there browsers an not view it I only found hak5 a few months back but it has proven one of the best shows (if not the best) of it's type on the internet.

as long as the episodes are still available to download in xvid then i think its a good thing.

it saves encoding time for hak5 and it allows them to do 4 episodes a month. even if they cut the regular hour or so show down to 30 min an ep you still have twice as much as before.

it makes it easier to do long segments since it can be split up.

and according to the live show as long as the person submitting the content does it with a high enough quality there may be some user submitted content which will bring in segments and talent that wasnt in hak5 before.

... i like turtles... lol no i think that we should wait and see the 1st few episodes before we judge cause u never know

[IceCold]

the show will never be the homebrew podcast we liked whe it all began, but maybe good things'll come!

don't know yet... let's wait until sept

I think it'll be fine. Revision3 is cool, and extra funding doesn't do any harm.

Watch Hak5 cocktails and read through all this again.

Oh wait, someone deleted the topic, how strange.

But that link is down too. No bother, http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/347605

About an hour and 23 in is good, but the whole thing is nice.

Famicoman, I think we should link to this instead:

http://www.hak5.org/backstage/fridays-hak5-live-available

We explained IN DETAIL how everythings going down. It's long, but watch it if you havent. We answered tons of behind the scenes questions from viewers.

Obviously, I think this is GOOD.

We're hopefully gonna reach a wider audience, we're working on some sweet new segments (we have a TON catelogued for this season), and eventually (with enough funding) we'll go HD. We're even discussing bringing stuff back, like LAN parties and trivia. All this for 15-30 minutes per week means you'll have more Hak5 monthly technolust than you did before. We're putting in a lot of hard work for this season!

No, I posted the one I meant.

I construct my posts thoughtfully and thoroughly, thus the point may be a little more hidden through subtlety.

Snubs: Do you or have you worked in marketing before?

I do like the sound of added Technolust per month.

However, this is somewhat outshined by my dislike of most of the shows on Rev 3. As well I have a deep seated hatred for Kevin Rose.

I also worry about the audience this will attract. After seeing the live episode and watching the wall, the only thing I can imagine is that, just on a larger scale (this is with my assumption that the majority of the key audience of Rev 3 are between the ages of 12 and 16 (Only based upon my experiences with Digg (So I could be wrong (I am some of the time)))).

Although I am a fairly open minded individual, and can not yet judge upon how this will go down.

I hope for the best, but my vote goes to "Don't know yet."

Very well, link what you want :)

Snubs: Do you or have you worked in marketing before?

No, I've taken a class and enjoy marketing... In fact, at my last job, I got a sweet bonus for selling the most of a product. Teehee :P

/me swings his Emerald Green Ford Escort wildly...

No, but seriously, if that happens... well... then we'll just have to see how things go, eh?
