Ride the Revision3 Train to San Jose!

August 21st, 2008 at 03:18 by Ron Richards in Live Events

Of course you’re well aware of the upcoming Diggnation live in San Jose next week on August 26th at NVISION’08, right? Diggnation is going to be held at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts, which has a capacity of 4,000! We want to fill those seats and get the show rocking!

If you’re like us and you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you’re probably wondering how to get to San Jose. Well wonder no longer! Not only do we have all the information you need to get to the Diggnation show, but we have an exciting announcement!

If you’re planning on taking Caltrain down to the event, you are invited to join the OFFICIAL Revision3/Diggnation train ride down to San Jose. Revision3 employees will be boarding a specific train from San Francisco headed to San Jose and we want you to come party with us on the way down! It’s BYOB (yes you can drink on the train, responsibly and if you’re over 21 of course), but we’ll be bringing some Revision3 swag to giveaway to anyone who comes along. So grab your buddies and head to the train to go see Diggnation Live! This is a great opportunity to cause a Diggnation Flash Mob on Caltrain and ride down in style with other San Francisco Diggnation fans and help us pack the house in San Jose. Don’t forget that the show in San Jose is 100% FREE!

Here are all the details:
Meet up @ 4PM at 4th St & King St in San Francisco’s Caltrain Station. Look for people holding Revision3 signs by the track entrance for the 4:19 train.
The train leaves @ 4:19 and arrives @ 5:27, so be sure to come early!

UPDATE: From San Jose Diridon Station, you can take a free shuttle (called DASH) which will drop you off to the destination. So, no need to pay $1.75. The DASH will leave at 5.29 and 5.37pm. [Thanks to divyamistry]

From Caltrain (San Jose) Cahill St. & Crandall St. we depart by bus [$1.75] @ 5:33. We are dropped off on San Fernando St. and walk NE to Alamaden Blvd., turn right and arrive at 255 Almaden Blvd. San Jose, California 95113 where NVISION 2008 and the show will take place at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.

Hope to see you there!

thanks.

Vote Revision3 at SXSW

August 21st, 2008 at 10:04 by Ron Richards in Live Events

The SXSW Interactive event in Austin Texas has become one of the best meeting places for the future of this thing we’re all caught up in called New Media. It has become the gathering place for the creators and business of Interactive and New Media and an event we wouldn’t miss for the world - great panels, great parties, great people - it’s really a cool conference, which is a tough thing to pull off.

One of the things that’s super cool about SXSW is that it’s very involved and participatory. So much so that they ask for our and your help in picking the panels that will be presented at the conference. By registering at their nifty Panel Picker you can let your voice be heard by voting on the panels you think are interesting and you’d be interested in attending.

I’d be remiss in failing to mention that Revision3 has got a bunch of panels that were submitted to SXSW Interactive - you can see and vote for them all at the SXSW Panel Picker. So if you have a few minutes, please take a look and check out what we have to offer at SXSW. We’re pretty psyched about what we have to offer, with some interesting and relevant topics to share with our industry and help facilitate some good conversations. So take a look and of course, vote for us and help us get on the panels at SXSW!

Revision3 Panels at SXSW >

thanks.

Watch Revision3 on TIVO and Metacafe

August 20th, 2008 at 04:02 by Ron Richards in Announcements

It’s been a very busy summer here at Revision3 in case you haven’t noticed. In addition to creating and releasing great shows like Diggnation and Internet Superstar, we’ve added Epic Fu and Wine Library Reserve and have got even more great shows coming. But building the next generation of television isn’t just about creating shows. No, it’s also about using the technology that we’re lucky to have access to help complete our mission. And what is that mission exactly? We want our viewers to enjoy our shows anywhere, anytime and on any device.

Part of executing on that mission involved working with great partners to get our shows on their platforms or devices and we get super psyched when we do launch on a device or platform as cool as TIVO or Metacafe. So you can imagine my excitement in being able to share with you all that we’re proud to announce that you can now watch Revision3 on your TIVO or on Metacafe!

TIVO defined what the Digital Video Recorder is to many of us. Every DVR that has been released has looked to TIVO to try and emulate their awesome experience. So now, if you head over to their VIDEO DOWNLOADS section, you will see EVERY Revision3 show on there for your enjoyment. So, if you own a TIVO go ahead and sample our shows, subscribe to your favorite and enjoy our shows in their full resolution glory on your TV!

But if you like watching your video on the web and you’re a fan of the excellent site Metacafe, you can now head over to our channel on Metacafe at www.metacafe.com/revision3/. There you can check out all our great shorter form shows for quick and fun video viewing.

We’re doing our best to bring our shows to you everywhere you want them to be, and the best part is, there’s even more great things coming. Stay tuned and keep watching as much Revision3 as you can and don’t forget to tell your friends.

Thanks.
