Wait…? You’re ending PixelPerfect, PopSiren and Internet Superstar yet shows like the frickin’ Digg Reel and XLR8R TV are kept in the line up. Well now Rev3 has about 4 or 5 good shows instead of 7 or 8.

I see why you might have ended PixelPerfect because it doesn’t seem to fit into the whole Rev3 image but PopSiren and Internet Superstar? They were classic, original great Rev3 shows!

You know, you might want to consider updating your features on your front page before you release this news so that I don’t see 60% of the screen real estate taken up by an ad for a cancelled show.

Cancelling PixelPerfect is ridiculous. This is your own fault. You demanded that its production be moved from PixelCorps to your own studio, you ruined the show with the weird zoom-ins and poor screen capture, and now you can’t afford to produce it anymore.

Can you please offer the show back to PixelCorps? I’m sure they’d actually put EFFORT into producing PixelPerfect.

I will really miss these shows.

Great shows, sorry to see them go!

the last poster is right…
your ending PopSiren and Internet Superstar but keeping XLR8R TV, hak 5, the digg reel? are you guys on crack or something. you know more than anyone content is king in this business, and popsiren and internset superstar has 100 times as much entertainment value than the digg reel and hak 5. I can see dropping PixelPerfect and epic fu.. kinda.. epic fu never really fit, and pixelperfect had a very narrow audience appeal, hell i can even see letting wine libary tv go… although its awesome and i will continute to watch it as i did before he was part of rev3. but.. popsiren and internet superstar was to me fundimentals of rev3 just liek diggination and tekzilla is. hell i would trade out TRS for popsiren anyday. I understand the market probelms but if you want to survive I think you need to reevaulate what viewers want more than you are doing right now.

I’m very disappointed in Revision3 right now! Popsiren and PixelPerfect are my two favorite shows!!!!!

I really hope you don’t get rid of Sarah or Marty!!! They are the funniest and have wonderful on screen personality.

I’m turning 30 this year and they are still my role models!

This sucks!!!

I hate to see Internet Superstar go as I hated to see Infected and Gator go… I hate to see Martin Sargent and Jay Spieden go. Epic Fu was new, but I actually was growing to love it, and also hate to see it go. This is a bad day for Revision 3. I hope they will still be working at the company in some capacity.

While I too am saddened by the choice to cancel Internet Superstar & Popsiren, I do have a recommendation. If the shaows are to be no more, and economic troubles are partly to blame, why no auction off set pieces from the 2 sets on EBay to get a lil extra cash in the ole’ Rev3 piggy bank. While I’m not delusional enough to expect huge selling prices, every lil’ bit helps right?

PopSiren, in my opinion, was better before the change in format and the firing of Neha. Now it’s just stupid San Fran music for 20 minutes. I want the old PopSiren back.

Pixel Perfect, while a good show, was never really for me because I don’t use Photoshop. However, I can see how many PS users are peeved.

Internet Superstar, while I didn’t watch regularly, was interesting when there were guests who I knew. Marty is good, I just don’t like over-acting. Sometimes I just shake my head and go watch something else. But, like before, I can see the other side of the argument.

I’m not sure what Rev3′s long term plans are, but from all of the changes happening in the past year, I don’t think they know either. And if they keep canceling shows I like, I’m not going to care about any of their plans.

VERY Disappointed in you Rev3.

I’ll miss the shows.

Thats all I’m saying

Glad Ifanboy is sticking around. I knew TRS and Digg were going to stick around, but I was afraid it might have gotten the boot.

I had never once watched any of the other shows that are getting the boot. They just don’t appeal to me.

poor choice of shows to cancel. should have picked the crappy shows that no one watches.

i have to say none of this comes as a surprise, if revision3 wants to be successful, they are going to have to drop bad hosts and kick it into high gear with newly hired blood and create some unique but familiar stuff that appeals to everyone like perhaps their own weekly or bi weekly half hour/hour sitcom… just one thing, it can’t suck, it can’t always be about the internet etc.

good luck Rev3, i’m still behind you.

I wonder if Alex would pick up PixelPerfect as an official PixelCorps production – they have experience making the thing and it would seem to be much better in their line-up of shows.

Methinks you guys cancelled the wrong shows.

Is their any chance any of these shows will be coming back if the economy fixes out?

Slow your rolls guys/gals Rev3 is only canceling shows that so far had not found large enough audiences even inside the smaller tech audiences. I loved PopSiren but also as a person studying to produce internet media PopSiren just was not there yet. Pixel Perfect was great but Rev3 did not ruin it nor should we suggest they don’t care about the show. They looked at their numbers and had to decide what was bringing in and what wasn’t and while some of you think DiggReel is not your thing there is a lot going on there. Some shows are hit from the beginning others need time to work out the kinks and find their audiences. DiggReel at the beginning was rough but its quite good now.

Also some of the shows staying on run themselves like EpicFu, XLR8RTV, Wine Library have been in production on their own for awhile and brought a large audience with them when they partnered with Revision3.

Time is not on Revision3′s side right now. They have to tighten down the hatches and work to develop internal value in how the network runs during the current world financial collapse and when they come out this unstable time. After the election we should all look forward to more stability in US markets and work towards recovery cause elections always cause unsure feelings about the future. I would rather Revision3 last through this terrible time then collapse from trying to carry too much load. Good Luck Revision3 I’ll keep watching if you keep being yourself!

Wait why is Gary leaving? I thought he was good friends with Rev3? It seems not a lot of people are happy Louderback with this decision. Unfortunately not all companies are immune to layoffs, sorry Rev3.

I’d hate to see Internet Superstar go because it’s brought some interesting content to the floor but Martin and Jay will eventually find their footing.

Interested to see what happens in the future.

Wow, that’s great. So, because of this “economic crunch” you put incredibly talented people that made these shows great out of work. Tell you what, why don’t the bigwigs take a bit of a pay cut instead. Even 20%…that’s not much conidering how much you already make…but I’m sure that won’t happen. So with that said, enjoy your drives home in your Audi’s and BMWs, and hope that the economy doesn’t take your livelihood away. This is an open letter to all, to just stop watching anything by Rev3…and then when the bigwigs face losing their jobs they can just shit in their pants. That would be cool to watch.

*(@#$&*(!. crap.

It’s about time you’re canceling some shows, IMO, but I think there are some others that need to be reevaluated instead.

I’m also not a big fan of the rev3beta shows…. guess I’m the only one.

Anyway, thanks for helping me pass my work week Rev3

I know the financial craphole we’re in right now sucks for everyone, but I won’t pretend that it’s a proxy for an excuse this time. Granted, I do think you guys were over reaching with some of your shows. But I agree with many of those above. You’re simply canceling the wrong ones.

I’m especially pissed over Internet Superstar. You guys claim that it “didn’t find an audience”. Well guess what? You didn’t let it! You only REALLY promoted it once when Martin did a show before a live Diggnation. And you screwed around with the format so much that it wasn’t even the same show as when it began.

I still love what you guys do, but you’re turning into FOX. You screw around with stuff so much and frustrate your audience while doing so. Then for whatever reason, you can’t seem to put two and two together when those shows no longer have an audience.

Gator said it best. EAT A DICK, LAUDERBACK!!

While I am a fan of Martin Seargent, Internet Superstar was unwatchable at times. I was not a fan of PopSiren but I was also not part of the target audience to begin with. We do not know the details of the shows being dropped but of course they are doing what is best for business.

As long as TRS and Scam School and iFanboy stick around I am happy.

Wow, just wow Rev3. Three of the shows that I subscribe to are cancelled. So now all I have is Diggnation and TRS. I would love to see how you guys came to the conclusion to cancel these shows. PixelPerfect had its niche with alot of people. Although the forums may not have been so active, they didnt really have to be since it was a tutorial show. You are getting rid of one of, if not the best graphic artists in the world. I understand why WineLibraryTV is being cancelled. Although it is a good show, it is not for everyone and it did not have a Rev3 feel. EpicFu is a tremendous show. I discovered more artists and music than any other show and will be sad to see them go. Bad move Rev3. I think you guys should have looked at the other shows before cancelling most of these. Booooooooooooo to Rev3.

Same boat as above, all you guys have me on is TRS. No more WLTV, no more (my favorite show) Internet Superstar. Completely unacceptable…

you are canceling one of the best shows Popsiren and leaving shows that i will never watch, hak5, Scam School, the digg reel, XLR8R TV, were turning into G4 all over again

canceling shows is one thing.. but terminateing talent like martain and sarah.. thats what has me totally anti-rev3 at the moment

You know, why didnt you guys (Rev3) let your views vote? You could have easily put a poll on the front page and the 3-4 shows with the lowest votes would get booted.

I am REALLY REALLY disappointed in the choice to cancel Internet Superstar and PopSiren. I understand letting Gary V and the EpicFu crew do their own distribution. They will live on, in their own rights, but Why Internet Superstar and PopSiren. Why not get rid of XLR8TR (or however you spell it, it’s not even worth looking up, that’s how little I think of it). Why not drop the Hak.5 show? They were perfectly fine on their own too. I would rather see them go than see Martin, Sarah, Jay, and the rest go. This is just very very disappointing. I already read Sarah is gone, but I don’t know about Marty or Jay. I hope you didn’t get rid of them too, or you’re loosing about 1/3 of your best on air talent with those 3 gone.

I do have to say that this does not make me less of a Rev3 fan and I am not going to go anywhere, I’ll still keep watching TRS, Tekzilla, and Diggnation faithfully. But this will definitely go down as a dark day in Internet TV history.

I guess honor and loyalty are as valued at Revision3 as they were at TechTV. To have Kevin Rose gush on how he was looking forward to hosting the DiggReel with Sara Lane this week only to fire her the next day, is pure evil. Its bad business and very poor public relations. If Mr. Rose pleads ignorance again as he did when stories were dropped or banned from Digg then he belongs with McCain and Palin as frauds and liars.
It amazes me that the people who most of which survived the TechTV to G4 debacle, are doing the exact same thing all over again. Wise up folks, not only is it web 2.0 but it should also be shown a better way of treating people who show loyalty.
Shame goes to Mr. Rose

What a load of bull. Vallywag just put up a really good article about this very instance. Rev3, this is sad that you would pull something like this.

http://valleywag.com/5069408/the-layoff-lie

I agree with much of what has been said above. This was tactless and vicious of Revision 3. I lost a LOT of respect for you guys today. And your advertisers just consequently lost my business.

I really doubt that Kevin knew this yesterday on Twit, he’s not in charge of day to day operations, if anyone is to blame it’s Louderback he probably let the board (including Kevin) know today before he laid people off.

Wow…i mean i would understand Digg Reel, XLR8R TV, pixel perfect (meh)and internet superstar (gayest show fucking ever) but wine library tv and epic fu…you guys just got them and there pretty good shows…

Today is a sad day but atleast we still got diggnation, tekzilla, systm, AND TRS!

Bring back PixelPerfect.

Wow, really sad to hear about these shows going. Internet Superstar and Pop Siren were two of my favorites right behind Diggnation.

Is Web Drifter still coming back? I think that show was the best one on Rev 3, award worthy even.

Eat a dick Louderback!

Wow….Why Pixel Perfect?! I can kinda see Pop Siren and Internet Superstar, but PP!. Stop producing the stupid Digg Reel, Best of, and XLR8R shows

NO! NO! NO!
I love you MARTIN SARGENT, JAY SPIEDEN, and SARAH LANE! DAMN! Please you guys make new shows at least! Martin and Sarah should do the Digg Reel from now on. Bancroft can stay in London or wherever he went. Well, I still have a lot of respect for you Rev3, and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck to everyone.

Ahh… well. Good luck with the rest of your plans Rev3. Hope you survive.

Kevin and Jay. You both are great friends and I know you were friends with some of the cast you let go. I can understand canceling shows. But I don’t feel that letting go of talent like Martin and Sarah was an okay decision. I would hope that between the both of you you have majority rule on the board but I guess Revision3 may be bigger then I believe. Because I know if it was a company that you guys ran, you would not have let Sarah and Marty go. So let me say I’m sorry you had to layoff your friends. I believe its hard, But I also know that Jay has some experience under his belt and he knows what he is doing. So best of luck and keep the quality content coming!

I agree with general consensus — regardless as to revenue, you guys definitely seemed to have cut the wrong shows. At least, you guys could have kept Pixel Perfect and cut a couple of the shows you’ve kept around. (C’mon, Digg Reel? XLR8R TV? Scam School?? Really???)

But as far as polling, Rev3 has occasionally asked viewers to take surveys. I’ve done a couple, and felt good about doing them, but I still find it hard to believe that Rev3 had enough metrics about what content was in demand.

The decisions smell of business-suit-types, not good content providers. Epic fail, Rev3.

Today is the day Revision3 died.

I agree that both Pop Siren and Internet Superstar were no longer viable to produce, they were much better before the reformatting. I think Pixel perfect was exactly perfect for Rev3 and they are killing that and all their syndicated shows. I think XLR8R and Digg Reel really should be cut they are both stinkers and deserve to be cut. I think that the shows cut were all justified except Pixel Perfect and I hope this means they will bring back Gigaom, and good quality programming and finally cut Web Drifter cause that was almost as bad as Internet Superstar

You’re doing it wrong.

PopSiren and Internet Superstar were the wrong shows to cut guys

Wrath.

i cant believe you guys cut popsiren and internet superstar. bad decision. yet you keep crap like the digg reel and xlr8r . poor choice

I know the cuts couldn’t have come easily and they must reflect the ratings, but popSiren was definitely a favourite show of mine and I’m sad to see it go. I do like Martin Sargent, but Internet Superstar did get a bit tedious sometimes.

To be honest… There are other choices I would have made if I was to choose shows to cut, but I’m blind to the numbers behind it all. Tough times for everyone.

This is total humbug. First TechTV rolls over and lets G4 have it way with Pixel Perfect (read: canceled) and now the best Photoshop mentor/designer is getting canceled, but you’re keep the other rere shows that (besides diggnation) are pretty much an insult to intelligence. Please, please, please don’t do this to Bert and all his Pixel Perfect fans. Total-freakin’-humbug.

Internet Supersar and popSiren were two of my faves on Rev3. Diggnation and TRS being the other two. I can’t believe the shows that are staying on – but I’m not CEO.

PLEASE, I plead, do not let Sarah, Martin, Jay just disappear. They all pop and have great presence and I enjoy them so much. They’ve become my hip nerd friends that I’ll never meet but they’re welcomed on my MacBook Pro any day.

Good luck guys, I’m pulling for you… and wherever you pop up you can bet there are a lot of us who will find you and IP in!

Martin Sargent and the internet supper star i can live with out but come on digg reel and pop siren and pixel perfect are good shows. some just more time for some of the people that haven’t learned about podcasting to find them and they will take off.

What the hell?
You get rid of shows like pop siren and internet superstar (which I admit, Internet Superstar didn’t seem to be doing any good) but you keep trash like The Digg Reel, and possibly Scam School?

Pop Siren, while not my favorite show, was interesting enough for me to watch weekly.

Please, bring back these shows, and cut the crap like The Digg Reel and Scam School.

only shows I watch on a weekly basis is Diggnation and scam school. I use to watch totally rad show, but Jeff is really annoying. He tries to be soooooo over the top passionate about stuff and just ruins it. I was fast forwarding everytime he spoke but it became a pain. So its nice they are clearing house.

While entertainment shows deserve measuring by the popularity Rev3 have just made a huge mistake with truly informative PixelPerfect and WineLib. These should be part of very foundations of Rev3, the way for people to find you and enjoy you for giving the useful information. And than stay and enjoy semi-informative and pure entertainment staple shows like Tekzilla and Diggination.
I agree with some of posts that this reflects equal short-sightedness as G4/TechTV transfer. You NEED quality content and can’t survive on the entertainment alone.
The only bright spot is that WINELib will definitely survive on its own and that PixelPerfect has a good chance to be resurrected at PixelCore.

By the way, although I follow many Rev3 shows regularly, from the day 1, the only shows I keep copies of for repeated enjoyment are WineLib and PixelPerfect… For a reason. Information rules. Wise up to that…

I JUST SAW THE BLOG!!!!!

..

How can anyone say that Internet Superstar didn’t find their audience.

I’M RIGHT HERE YOU MORONS.

“Eat a Dick Louderback” is not strong enough of a phrase to describe my feelings……

Revision3 you have just lost my respect…. To me you are now no better than G4…

I knew that they were growing to big to fast…. Why can’t Jay A. be the CEO again?

Over the year, Rev3 has lost so many people that I adored. Everyone think back on all the great hosts and people that are no longer working for rev3.

Much like many of the ancient civilizations…..

Revision3…. You will be your own downfall.

Oh ya, I also only found out about Revision3 after looking up Martin Sargent and trying to find some Unscrewed episodes online……… Thank you for the entertainment over the years….

You were a mentor, a friend, and guide through much of my adolesent life. Your wisdom, and sense of humor will never be forgotten. Some don’t understand your genius. And now you and me, and all your TRUE fans must pay the price for their erogance. It’s a sad sad day for Rev3 indeed.

And I was upset when Gator died….. Multiply that times 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, and you will be close to feeling how I feel.

We’ll see you at the bar

Quazi Toto[/QUOTE]

Revision3, Do you now really expect me to buy anything from your store when you get it open??? I hope you realize just how big of a mistake you really made… Don’t worry, it will hit you soon enough.

Let me ask you, Did comcast buy you guys out or something?

OMG I JUST HAD A HORRIBLE THOUGHT… WITH MARTIN GONE, DOES THAT MEAN NO WEB DRIFER AS WELL…..

DAAAAMMMMNNN YYYOOOUUU AAAALLLL!!!!

(sorry for the cursing… But you guys did ask for it.)

When I get home from work, I am canceling all of my Revision 3 iTunes subscriptions.

My favorite content creators will tell me about their new projects via Twitter.

I am going to miss all of the shows, but I guess that is how boycotts go.

Plans for 2009? Is that a code for showing reruns of cops, and pretty much sucking at life?

Oh wait that’s what happened to the last channel that got rid of Martin and Sarah…

Well good luck with your future endeavors “RevisionG4″ I for one will not stick around to watch you fail miserably.

I can’t necessarily add anything except outrage. You certainly canceled the wrong shows. You’re getting rid of talent that could help you stay afloat in this uncertain economy. Thanks for throwing some great people out in the cold.

My God, it’s TechTV all over again. Apparently no one learned anything.

“Eat a dick, Louderback!” Indeed.

I was wondering why Web Drifter never really came back. Now I know.

Oh, and I’m with one other poster above – I wouldn’t have even FOUND Revision3 if I hadn’t looked up what the hell Martin Sargent was doing with his time. I’d missed seeing him on TV, and I was insanely excited to discover that he was now working with a lot of other people I once admired. You have HIM to thank for some of your viewership. Never found their audience? I’m right here. I *have* been here for a very long time. Not so much anymore.

I will stop watching and supporting this webnetwork if yall don’t at least give us a legit reason why marty and sarah can’t keep their respective shows. Martin Sargent is a web god and this is giving me flashbacks to the days of techtv and all their BS. Have a heart and get your heads fixed.

G4Revison3
Soon to be……..

G4 2.0

to all the hak5 haters you know nothing about the show it has thousands and thousands of viewers much more than the shows they cut.. I have watched the other shows most of them suck and had hardly any good content with the exception of pixel perfect I did like that show and will miss it from the rev3 lineup. but hak5 is a great show although I do miss Wess the hack/mod segments are just not the same now and I think rev3 and hak5 need to try and cut Wess a better deal and maybe he would return to the show, that is all.

sorry to double post but to the commenter’ stating this is very much like what Techtv did before the whole network went to the crapper yes I do think this is just like that and do agree I would have cut The Digg Reel and XLR8R TV and left the rest.

I can’t believe you cut Pixel Perfect. It was a very good show. I know I’ve learned quite a bit from it. Cutting that while keeping shows the likes of XLR8R and Digg Reel is beyond belief to me. I hope it all works out in the end but at this time I have to be questioning some of the decision making being done there.

I can understand why they choose those shows to cancel. I tried watching them myself and they just never got much of my attention like Diggnation,Tekzilla,TRS,and Systm which watch every episode of.

Oh great you just canceled 3 of the 5 shows i watch… Looks like im not the only one in this boat… I think you have made some bad decisions. Time will tell i guess.

You CAN’T cancel PixelPerfect! I rely on that show so much, and it’s the only show of yours that I watch! If you cancel it, you will have lost a viewer.

wow 3 of 4 shows I watched are now gone.

I agree with most, bad decisions at Revision 3… The shows that got cancelled will remain in my heart along with ctrl alt chicken and thebroken

Martin Sargent and Sarah Lane FIRED! WTF!!!!! This beyond BLOWS!

Popsiren got so boring after the format change. It was very interesting and unique with Dr Kiki mixed with same old weblink stuff you can find on other podcasts.

I liked pixelperfect and no doubt Bert is a photoshop master, but his lack of hosting skills bugged me too much, especially when it came to him announcing sponsors.

I actually like diggreel. I dont have a lot of time to watch all the videos on digg.com so diggreel summarizes the best ones (and cuts out the filler parts of the video)

I’m not sure why you guys don’t like scamschool. It’s a fairly unique podcast which you can learn new tricks. It’s much more interesting than Popsiren despite how well Sarah can host.

Man, I just started watching Pixelperfect a couple of months ago to figure out how to use Gimp. Bummer, I hope that Bert will be able to go another route to keep his show someplace i can continue to see it.

Its not the fact that a few shows were cancelled. It’s the fact that they FIRED the people working on the shows. I can understand if they get a new show (like martin did when Infected got cancelled) but being FIRED is insane. Martin Sargent MADE revision3. Well, Kevin and Alex did most of it. But I first found Rev3 looking for Martin.

Martin Sargent had a bigger hand in making rev3 than Jim Louderback, that’s for sure…. No respect. That’s what this company is turning into. No respect for the talent. No respect to the hard working people who original Rev3 Crew. And no respect for the viewers watching. RevG4. “Internet That’s Plugged In”….. Oh I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I’ve actually got to say that I did not like Pixel Perfect, EpicFu, or Wine Library Tv. But PopSiren and Internet Superstar? Sarah Lane and Martin Sargent, the 2 great people from the TechTV times…they were what made Rev3 great.

Revision 3 takes it’s first step toward becoming the next G4. Good job guys. Now the fired people will have to create yet another new place to make their shows.

unfortunately business’ have to make money as well as keeping the end user happy. i am really unhappy about seeing pop siren and internet superstar go, but that is business. i only wish that more people had watched, or used the sponsor codes to help support these shows. sarah and martin i am sure will move on to more great things, it is quite clear that they are talented. good luck guys

I was a big fan of EpicFu, PopSiren and Internet Superstar. Sad to know they are leaving. All the best to you guys.

I registered just to say this…

Eat a dick Louderback!

This is the exact reason why I hate big business. Two years ago no one would have ever expected this…. I seen this day coming for a long time now.. The slow and painful death of Rev3. Ah brings back memories… Screensavers, I’ll never forget you.

NO MORE INTERNET SUPERSTAR! This is terrible! How can this be!! Now were will I go to see the latest internet superstar, or find new websites like Bitter.com, or new cool toys like the”Sarah Palin Action Doll”. I guess now I have to live in a word where these things don’t exist…what a sad sad world it is.

WTFH THIS IS F*CKING TECHTV ALL OVER AGAIN.

FIRING SARAH AND MARTIN? WTH? ARE YOU SERIOUS? DONT YOU KNOW I AM MUSLIM (lol) WHEN WE GET ANGRY WE GO CRAZY!!!!!

If Obama was president this would have never happened.

I have to say that I agree with the majority of the posters here. It was one thing to cancel some of these shows (I loved Internet Superstar and PopSiren), but another thing to get rid of some of the people who made Revision3 what it is today! Revision 3 started with just a handful of people…Martin and Sarah being among them. They helped build this station to what it is today. Or rather, what it was yesterday. Today it is nothing. I guess I will have more time to go back and watch “old fashioned shows” on something called a TV since I will no longer have anything to watch on Revision3. Why did Revision 3 do all those daily shows and all the beta shows (lets face it…who even watches those beta shows) if they knew this was possibly coming down the pipe. Way to show loyalty to your staff and your viewers. People are right…Revision 3 is just turning into another G4…Yuck. Bye Revision 3, it has been fun, but now it is over.

If Kevin Rose had kept his traveling expenses down this would not have happened.

If any shows were to go it should have been, The Best of…, The GigaOm Show, iFanboy, XLR8R TV, and the Revision3 Gazette. All these shows Sucked more than any others that are still on or that got cut.

Please EpicFu & PopSiren is one of the best in my eyes & Diggnation,Tekzilla.I am sorry I like Alex & everything but(The Totally Rad Show)is not that hot & the only reason I watch it is because Alex is on it. But I kinda felt that they were eventualy going to sellout because I have been using digg.com from the begining & when they changed from just tech & science to all news,I said to myself here we go again like the ZDTV/TECHTV/G4 saga & I have been watching patric’s shows ever since ZDTV/TECHTV days & he is one of the best at it in my eyes & ofcourse my favorite Leo Leport & all of the old tech tv peeps & kevin rose was the 1st to teach me how to download a torrent file etc.I love these guys & gals & sorry these show’s are leaving this network,but I am so glad that atleast two of them are still going to be on this network. & I never knew that they had a photoshop show(mybad)PixelPerfect sounds like I would have liked it. I am so going to go back in the archives & watch it. & Sarah Lane is much to hot to cancel in any way( wink-:) )

Kind of funny. I had just quit downloading Internet Superstar a few days ago when Martin decided to go to work for Obama and quit showing us the wacky side of the Internet.

I think a poll to see what shows fans wanted the most may have been helpful information in making this decision.

Ever since Revision3 redesigned the layout things have sort of declined. “Best Of” is a horrible idea that just spams up the most recent list. Digg Reel seemed good when it started but has had some horrible hosts. When Sarah and Martin hosted it was actually very entertaining, but I’m assuming they’re not permanent. Hak5 is pretty boring and poorly made.

The only shows I really watch: Diggnation, Scam school, Tekzilla, and TRS

Also, I really miss having the Gazette every wednesday. It was the only show besides Diggnation that I actually looked forward to seeing. Sarah walking around the office with a camera is a lot more entertaining than some of these new shows that you guys keep directing your energy towards.

I wasn’t watching any of those so I can’t complain. I’m not a big Martin Sargent fan and I never got popsiren though I guess it’s not targeted for me. Epic Fu felt like a mishmash of things in the other shows so I understand that one leaving. WineLibrary.tv was a strange though since it feels like yesterday that a big hoopla was made that it was coming to Rev3. I liked the show but I don’t drink wine so I didn’t subscribe. Pixelperfect was cool though. Give it to Pixelcorps, it was one of the shows I always wanted to watch but never had Photoshop.
Anyways as long as TRS, The Digg Reel, iFanboy, and Scam School stay I’m a happy man. I don’t know how those shows are doing per se but I’m very sure TRS is a big success. The Digg Reel has been getting better and better (excellent 12 minute show) and it has the greatest potential growth, iFanboy has a thriving community, and Scam School is just too cool.

What’s up with all the harsh reactions. You rather have that Jim fired nobody and the whole company goes bust in six months. As far as I know Revision3 never made any profit or at least very little and relies on VC funding. The cash can run out, especially in the current economic climate.
I absolutely hate that good people lost their jobs but if this is necessary to save Rev3 so be it. Maybe they can come back when the economic climate is on the rise again (please Americans who can vote, vote smart, dare I say vote for change). Companies need to make money to pay there employees, so if there is less money coming in because advertisement revenue is on a down turn you can’t pay as manny employees as before.
As for the shows that where canceled. I really never saw a anything in PopSiren, never liked Internet Superstar and stopped following Pixel Perfect (which was a good produced show) because a lack of time. TRS and Diggnation are luckily still going strong. TRS is not produced by Rev3 only distributed and Diggnation is not one of the most expensive shows to shot and edit. All the shows shot in that ridiculous expensive studio are expensive to make because of the crew involved.
I think the expensive studio and the hiring of 30+ people in such a small company where not the best of decisions. But what do I know.

I have to say, I’m not too upset that pixel perfect is gone… but internet superstar was classic, and I watched the popsiren bites to get my mac os app fix. And you can’t fire Glenn, diggnation is nothing without the hippie. In my opinion this is a HUGE mistake. I’m sorry you guys can’t find a way to make money, but I’ll gladly buy a REV3 t-shirt or something if that will help?

I can’t believe some people here, some of you may have liked some of the shows, but obviously Rev3 has the numbers of each show and the shows they dropped were pulling in the least amount of viewers revinue. Also you guys have to remember, some of these shows are being dropped because they don’t appeal to the Revision3 audience, which is generally a techy audience. Also, because of its relation to digg shows like digg reel and diggnation will stay popular. Hak5 is still new and seems to be doing alright, I can say I enjoy the show with some exceptions. This is hardly the day that Revision3 dies.

Pixel Perfect is a great show. I’m sad to see it go. Bert is great.

To the person who said ” absolutely hate that good people lost their jobs but if this is necessary to save Rev3 so be it”

I argue that the people getting fired are the ones who actually MADE Rev3 what it is today (err yesterday).. So by getting rid of them can only “SAVE” Rev3, the company…. But not Rev3, the network we grew to love.

Then I think I am done watching Rev3. I’ve grown bored with System and Tekzilla.

So your canceling 2 shows I only watched once and thought were annoying, and stopping redistribution of two shows I never watched on Rev3. Sounds like a good business decision.

Keep up the good work! Don’t let the $#%$@%*) get you down!

In reply to Cyzor:

If the company can’t afford to pay new people, why start an entirely new project that pays even more people than before? Why start something else, when you’re planning to fire the staff that actually made the company that we all know and love?

It makes no sense.

Wow. That’s some bravado Kevin, especially after your Diggnation London episode and your solicitation of ‘software engineers’ with reference to job openings @ Digg. The economy must be really hurting, hire @ Digg fire @rev3. Bunch of amateurs….

Not to mention – why start that project and give it to one of the original personalities, when you were going to let him go?

That’s kind of cruel, in my opinion.

If anything should have been cut, it should have been some of the other projects. Numerous examples have been mentioned above.

I can understand the cancellations of some shows, but why the firings. I was reading Sarah’s blog when I discovered Revision3 and am sad to see that she’s been let go. She’s too good to not be there. Moujan, Heather and the others are a sad loss as well, but I like Sarah better. Put her back on the Revision3 Gazette, that show was great, had terrific promise and Sarah was well loved on it. Firing her, just like firing Neha, is a big mistake. These are two really great personalities that people want to see.

Digg Reel. You’re not going to convince me that this ignorant show deserves to be kept online. Andrew sucks and so does the show. If anything else, keep the show, but fire Andrew and make Sarah the host.

Couldn’t have said it (typed it) better if I tried.

I am very disappointed in the news out of the Rev3 offices today and would be lying if I didn’t say I am also curious about some of the choices.

Sarah/Martin/Jay (and everyone else)I wish you all the best of luck. I don’t think you need it, because as talented as you all are I suspect you will get back on your feet quickly. I am already looking forward to your next projects.

Jim – a good friend of mine is in management and has been in the position of having to let friends and long time employees go as well. I have seen the toll it takes on him, so I want to take a second and wish you well also.

To all of the above,

Go home, you have no friends.

Honestly, I agree completely with the shows selected to cut. I could barely make it through an episode of Internet Superstar, I guess I’m not a sucker for over-acting. I never got hooked on PopSiren and so am not bothered by it leaving.

Some of these comments are unbelievable. Revision3 has the numbers of these shows and obviously something wasn’t right if they had to cancel them. Just because you watched and enjoyed them doesn’t mean everybody else did.

I’m sure they had real legitimate reasons to cancel these shows, and frankly the only Rev3 shows I watch are Diggnation, TRS and the Digg Reel. Only occasionally do I watch Hak5. I would watch it more if it had higher production values.

I’m also surprised with all the hate around the Digg Reel. I’m a Digg user and find it very entertaining the hear Andrew’s spin on the stories. I honestly think Andrew is one of the more enjoyable hosts Revision3 employs. He looks natural as a host, not awkward like others.

I’m sorry to see that Popsiren got cut today! As others stated, I did actually like it better before the revamp but I still watched!

Wow. It really, really sucks that people lost their jobs over this. They are talented people, and I am sure they will land on their feet in due time. But really, people are commenting out of passion and not using common sense. The management of Rev3 is competent and knows where they are making money and where they are not. Also, Kevin Rose shows no bravado in this post because… well, he didn’t post this.

And Digg != Revision3. They get separate funding.

What ever happened to Seniority… The new guys suppost to get cut before the people who started it all and built the foundation…… Atleast, that’s how I was raised.

i agree. i’d take internet superstar over pixel perfect, xlr8r, scam school, fubar (or whatever the name is).

web drifter and internet superstar are two of the most original shows on the internet. at least they were before they were “revamped”. lame, rev3. lame.

AMFs Sarah Lane, Martin Sargent… Don’t let the door hit you in the ass. (or better yet let it).

You will NOT be missed….now if they Can Get Rid of ROGER..

Sarah and Martin git on my nerves. They did not have the on screen chemistry that Kevin adn Alex have or that of Alex, Jeff, and Dan on TRS. Hey I am no video gamer or comic book reader but I love watching TRS. Those guys really have an on screen chemistry that is fun to watch. I am a chick and find myself getting totally annoyed by most of the chicks on Rev3. The only one I find relevant, knowledgeable, and enjoyable to watch is Veronica on Tekzilla with Patrick. SHe actually knows her stuff and has something to say more than how pretty something is. Please hire more chicks like her.
Can’t wait to see what other shows you have up your sleeve! Keep it up Jim!

(sorry for my typos) I am an art teacher! haha

This is a good decision IMO. Martin never really interested me (to random) and Sarah was pretty, but not very unique. Epic fu was ok, but not interesting enough … not current enough. Not too excited with these R3betas though, nothing there that is better than what you let go. But keep trying. Tell Alex to not be so obnoxious and materialistic and perhaps I could stomach to watch TRS … as it is diggnation is a challenge to watch!

With all due respect Jim, I think the only way to save Revision3 is for you to resign. Not only would it be a huge cost-saving, but you clearly do not have an aptitude for this business.

Every bad decision you’ve made lately has been to reverse another bad decision you made previously. It’s time to go.

Dear Revision3 and audience,

I’m writing this not to flame bait regarding Revision 3 transitions, but in order to simply express opinion and reason why I recently stopped watching many of your podcasts. Rev3 once was a media host of creative, original shows. Webdrifter and PixelPerfect were such shows. I watched these shows plus more because they had an underground and independent feel to them. No longer was my media dominated by CEO’s, executives, and profit-driven demands.

This all changed after your purchase of a new studio. I see it in your shows. The strict coherence to McDonald-ized, utilitarian production values are evident. Every new episode is streamlined for production. Rev3 hosts read teleprompter and no longer vibrant and charming. Green screens are overused. Content is clearly developed for audience numbers. Shows are canceled for ‘economic’ reasons. We, the audience, know what’s going on here. Revision3 is turning into a podcast distribution giant like FOX and NBC. It’s only a matter of years until it is sold to a bigger media giant, stuffing the pockets of superwealthy peoples.

So what’s in my podcast client nowadays? Very few shows by Rev3. I’m going to be enjoying my other podcasts created by average-joe folks. I sure Rev3 distributes, not produce, forthcoming Rev3 Beta shows. And as far as I can tell, none of those shows are fresh, underground tech shows. Rev3 seems to be targeting the young college age, trendy generation of Macintosh users.

All hail the mighty podcasting corporation of the future, Revision3. She is destined to become a media superpower like FOX, NBC, and TBS.

For the abandoned Rev3 shows,

-Taidachi (Yes, I suck at writing. Sorry)

Thinking more on things…

If Rev3 distribute shows, capital purchase of the studio and equipment will be worthless. Either 1) sell the studio and distribute Rev3 beta podcasts or 2) Produce shows that last for only a year then disappears.

I’m not going to lambaste you guys for doing the logical thing in the midst of another tech crunch. Still — I’m definitely going to miss Martin.

I think the problem I had with Internet Superstar was that, as entertaining as it was, it lacked a central theme. Same with Pop Siren. Both shows seemed to use the same “variety show” equation of occasional interviews, and quirky stuff on the internet. I’ve never watched Pixel Perfect because I don’t use Photoshop that often, but I really, really enjoyed Epic Fu. I’m seriously sad to see it go — it was a nice, original, indie take on web culture.

I’m afraid of where this is going to take Revision 3 as a company, though. Isn’t the web about finding those niche audiences? Who cares if Internet Superstar pulls in 100 viewers — recognize how significant it is that 100 people are appreciating your content.

It seems like Rev3 is moving towards more “professional” programs that aren’t necessarily better. I started watching about a year and a half ago, back when Diggnation had a paid subscription — and I felt like I was part of this really unique audience.

I’m glad your viewership has grown, really. But maybe it’s time to pay a little bit more attention to your users, and a little less attention to your advertisers.

Bummer, man. PixelPerfect was one of the few consistently good shows on this network (and one of three I’ve watched consistently for the past year or so). Lame, lame, lame.

Good luck, Bert. Hope to see you podcasting again soon.

popSiren was a good show, but I lost interest in it. Same goes for Epic Fu. In truth with my schedule being filled with school work some shows had to kick the bucket.

As for PixelPerfect… well I use GIMP. Start a show with that instead.

Sarah Lane is a force of nature and gifted communicator of tech and pop culture. If a tech news oriented company like Revision3 can’t figure out how to utilize her and make money then you’ve already failed and might as well give up.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! why do u have to cancel these shows?!?!?!?! I dont care if i have to watch an extra few minutes of ads, just dont cancel the shows… internet superstar was one of my favorites….

Just picked up a case of Becks the other day to help out Martin and the old shed but I guess that was for naught.

I do really wish some of these metrics were available to the public to see what was going on with Rev3, just network ratings are published out in the open. I understand why they don’t to non-advertisers but it makes some the changes sketchy. Martin and ISS I can understand. But Sarah Lane, Heather Frank and Hippie Glenn (even if he’s still on a freelane basis) were technical talent that clearly were tied to the shows. If Sarah is the executive producer, than who is getting the nod in her place?

I believe it was Arrington at TechCrunch who noted that alot of these startup companies are simply using the economy as an excuse to consolidate the direction of their companies. The idea being that if they fired people out in the open it would appear that the startup is struggling. I wonder how much of this is a business, or an inter-office dynamic these decisions are made on.

I’m sure we will get some leaks on Valleywag from Rev3 staff later on. Then again maybe it was just the numbers game.

I love PixelPerfect! I was teaching my son Photoshop using these videos. This really sucks. I am very disapointed and my son will be too. I can handle it, but it really sucks for my son since he will not be able to use this educational resource anymore. Thanks Revision3!

Will the video archives be left on Revision3 so we can still use them?

I agree with the decision. EXCEPT for pixel perfect. How can you live with yourself when PixelPerfect gets the axe and a trash like scam school lives on?

I can’t believe you guys. I realize that hard business decisions need to be made but Sarah Lane and Martin Sargent?! You have to be kidding. Web Drifter was one of your best shows. Thanks for ruining my week.

So Internet Superstar got cut. I have an idea let that show live on and cut Louderback instead problem solved.

O yeah forgot one thing

EAT A DICK LOUDERBACK!!!

Hey Look at that Rev3 pulled a G4. Hahaha

Wow it’s like reliving the day the Screensavers became Attack of the Show, except this time there is not even Attack of the Show. Big mistake getting rid of Sarah and Marty. Many of us watch because we are former TechTV fans, now they got rid of most of the TechTV people. I’d watch your back Norton! Sounds like you may be next!

Let’s be honest, Wine Library TV or what ever it was called.. NEVER belonged on Rev3. So Gary is an awesome self promoter who convinced Loudermilk after possibly a couple drinks and bong hits to distro the show.. big whoop.. YAWN!!!

Boooerns guys. It is sad to see these great talents leaving Rev3. I am especially crushed to know that hippy glenn will no longer be on Diggnation. I guess if you had to cut some people, it might as well be the ones with the least popular shows.

I did not watch any of the shows getting “the boot”. However, I do have to wonder about one in particular – Wine Library. Now, I don’t think it quite fit the audience here, but I’m not one to judge. You all probably have a much better idea of what your audience is than one guy. I must say though, after all that advertising and excitement that WLTV was coming to Rev 3 as a distribution partner, it surprises me it was dropped so quickly after becoming such.

Still, I saw something like this coming, with the economy the way it is. Not surprised by the general announcement by any means.

OMG…listen to you people WHINE!!! LOOOOSERS!! Get a freakin’ life, will ya?! It’s just a a couple of shows. Life goes on, you’ll be fine.

Morons…

@jackgh, Some of us have been watching these guys and gals for years now, even before Rev3 was around, its kinda like loosing family. I just hope they get jobs soon, and get back behind the camera! Sad to see wasted talent! Leo should pick them up!

wow, what a drag. Epic fu was the only reason that i even knew about Rev3. I guess you dont want to raise the bar. you just want to pander. not my cup of tea. I enjoy shows with a bit more brains than what you guys are aiming for. fuck you. i’m out. time to delete all my rev3 subscriptions. there’s no point in watching now.

also notice how the ones in charge of making the decisions are still going to be in charge. why is it always the little guy thrown out on his ass when the people in charge can’t handle their sh*t. If they cant find a way to make money off of brilliant shows like epic fu and pop siren, you have no business in this game. FAIL on you.

Pop Siren >>>> The Digg Reel. The Digg Reel is really not good, the humor is often juvenile and stupid on it.

That’s it. I’ve HAD it with your crappy network. Screw Diggnation. Sure, i used to watch it, but it’s nowhere near as interesting or infotaining as pS or IS. Who cares about Kevin and Alex spanking off over Rose’s so-2007 ATM?

Rev3 just lost a WHOLE lot of heart & soul. Don’t you dare touch Norton and Belmont – they’re the best you’ve got now. Which is great, but you’ve lost too much.

And seriously – how DARE you take off a show that was no doubt inspiring loads of talented young girls to do geeky techy screwy things? “Never found its audience”? What kind of insane, pissy street meth have you been smoking? How many of tomorrow’s young female visionaries did that show inspire? But you kept Diggnation so we could all watch Kevin and Alex fuck off and giggle like drunken morons on camera. Good one.

Fuck Rev3 and fuck you. May Sarah and Martin kick your soulless asses HARD in their next endeavors.

Wow. I am shocked and dismayed by the lack of tact, maturity, and manners of those of you leaving comments. Sure, I understand your disappointment. But the personal attacks against Jim Louderback and the vitriol against this site are unwarranted.

The industry, hell the country, is in dire times, if y’all haven’t noticed. Pull your heads out of the sand. Every VC in Menlo/Atherton/PA has been calling up their start-up CEOs in the past three weeks and saying “cut costs, NOW. Preserve funding and maybe we’ll let you survive.”

Rev3 had tough choices to make, but regardless of your personal viewing habits, I’m POSITIVE the cuts were made to the shows that were either delivering the worst results, or even worse had flatlined. This is a business. While I believe these guys have a passion for what they are doing, it’s not a hobby or charity.

So get over yourselves. Supply and demand at it’s best. And BTW, people like Jim Louderback are doing their best to make sure the media, in some form, survives. Again, it may have escaped your attention, but the mainstream media is DYING. I’ve worked with Jim tangentally back in his MSM days, and he has a reputation for being a good guy, among people I trust.

Journalists and PR people alike (I belong to the latter category) are fighting to survive a changing profession. Not everything is going to go how we want it to go, and in this new revolution people are going to get hurt and people are going to get left behind. Everything is being reinvented on the fly, meaning we’re trying new things that may or may not work. At least we’re trying.

Heck, I’m unemployed at the moment, so I’m certainly not speaking from some ivory tower. In the meantime, all you consumers want is FREE FREE FREE. You don’t want to pay for anything! So advertising is the savior of the media. Yet when ad dollars go down and things have to get cut, all you do it bitch and point fingers. Look in the mirror. Whose fault is it really? You can’t have it both ways!!

I’m really sorry you lost your shows (but seriously, if it upsets you so much that you have to be so downright ugly, you need a life).

So to everyone at Rev3, I’m sorry to see that you had to make some tough decisions. But I wish you the best of luck and success.

You guys keep new people like David Calkins and get rid of Lane and Sarge…thats crazy! you are getting rid of the people who were there in the old days with you guys. stupid mistake

I have to agree with scott88008

“Sarah Lane is a force of nature and gifted communicator of tech and pop culture. If a tech news oriented company like Revision3 can’t figure out how to utilize her and make money then you’ve already failed and might as well give up.”

Sure cancel the show if need be, but fire her? Fail. Goodbye.

Not so amazingly, few of the comments/complaints above are from Tekzilla and Systm viewers. I guess the true geeks understand economics!

These shows didn’t make it because the number of views/downloads weren’t there to support them, regardless of anyone’s personal feelings. If the viewers aren’t there, then the sponsors won’t be there either! I liked PixelPerfect, but I’m not going to complain because I understand businesses need to make logical decisions and the audience was just too narrow.

The G4/TechTV comparisons are not very fair because the shows being cut are more culture than tech in nature anyways. I see these cuts as more of a shift in focus back towards their tech roots, rather than in the G4 direction.

Go Patrick & Veronica, and a warm welcome to David Calkins!

DiggReel probably costs nothing to produce, and while the first few were weak, it has hit it’s stride. Martin and Sarah, while I love watching them and will miss them on Rev3, did a horrible job filling in for Bancroft. At least his banter is on point and relevant.

I can’t say I’ll miss any of the shows except for perhaps PixelPerfect, which I only tuned into occasionally when I need to do some Photoshop work.

you guys fucking suck……you took off two of the best shows you guys got

and you just throw this crap on us…this is so heart breaking, why must you guys keep doing this to us

what will it take to bring it back

I don’t watch Pixel Perfect, winetv, or internet superstar, but I have always watched popSiren. I love having Sarah Lane back doing reporting of websites and such. Please keep popSiren on, but move it back to the original format. As it stands right now, I skip over half the episode because of all the stupid band crap. It was better with Dr. Kiki and the original format!

Heres what I would do:
Cencel: Internet superstar, PopSiren, The Digg Reel, XLR8R, and Web Drifter. These shows were not worth while ventures although Popsiren could have been saved had it not been switched to the new format. I would then bring Revision3 back to it’s roots and produce shows that are informative like Gigaom because there is quality behind that show unlike these useless new ones. I would focus more on quality tech programming and not do nearly as many daily shows because they are not worth the time.

You also all need to STOP blaming Jim, it was probably not his choice for the layoffs and probly was just foced to carry out the Board’s orders. So the board should be getting the hate.

I love how so many of you think, because YOU watched the show, it was a hit and the BEST show on Earth and made Rev3 piles of money. I hate to tell you your sample size is too small. It is a bummer that shows were canceled and if it was what needed to happen to see rev3 continue to be successful so be it. I have to hope that Jim and the board know what they are doing or at least are acting on solid data, probably a bigger sample size than just one.

Yeah, I have to voice my support of the general consensus that this is a bad decision.

You keep useless crap like Digg Reel and XLR8R in production, but kill two refreshingly unique shows and fire two of the best hosts that you’ve ever had? If you’re such an expert at this kind of thing, Lauderbeck, why is it that you keep adding Rev3 beta shows and adding new pre-existing shows to your line-up?

This whole decision absolutely reeks of corporate BS.. you spend an ungodly amount of money on a new studio, you throw a ridiculously expensive launch party, Eat a Dick Lauderbeck basically gets paid in BMW’s, and Kevin and Alex go on one off-site (many international) field trip after another – yet, these hard times cause you to kill shows and fire their hosts? Hosts that are beloved carry-overs from the TechTV days, who have massive followings just by themselves?

I agree with what someone said above, that this is just another Lauderbeck fuck-up that is meant to try and fix an earlier Lauderbeck fuck-up.

I also throw in the sentiment about Kevin Rose being totally tactless about all this – he tells people Digg is hiring, he and his shrill-voiced drinking buddy go on field trips to other countries, and laughs it up on Twit two days ago WITH SARAH THERE (you can’t tell me he didn’t know about this shit the day before, when they recorded).. ugh.

I swear, I never thought I’d see the day when I had to declare Kevin Rose = Deuchebag.

Fortunately for me I only loose one show, unfortunately it happens to be my favorite in the line-up i download. I have to agree, let PixelPerfect go back, as WinelibraryTV and Epic Fu are doing. If they cant produce it, then at least it will really be for economic reasons. I also have to agree that some of the cancellations were the wrong shows. Consideration should have been given to XLR8T or what ever the hell it is, INternet Superstar was already failing, so letting it go was not so bad. Drop DiggReel. If I wanted to watch youtube, I’d go to youtube. Hak5… I have nothing to say for that. BAd mojo on you Rev3. Bad mojo. I hate to see this company turn into G4. That is unwatchable bullshit. Consider this strike 2 from me.

I can’t believe it… I’m so… I have no words to explain what I think and feel obout this. I’m from Spain and I have watched every episode of the show every week and will definitely miss it. This show was basically one of the reasons that I watch Revision3. Please dont do this…
I need say thanks to Bert for sharing his knowledge and experience with us.I hope Bert goes on to produce the show by himself.
Y aunque a partir de ahora probablemente nadie entienda lo que estoy poniendo, he de decir que para mi éste ha sido uno de los programas más instructivos de mi vida. Bert Monroy es un gran profesional que me ha ayudado a avanzar y desarrollar los conocimientos que tengo actualmente en la materia, me parece un error por parte de Revision3 el eliminar de esta manera un programa que tiene más seguidores de los que creen. Seguro que existen fórmulas para solucionarlo y continuar con el show. Es una pena que se termine de esta forma…

All you people who are whining like a bunch of 6 year old girls….what are you gonna do? Kill yourself because of this? Get over it already. Keep yourself busy with some internet porn or something. Or better yet, get off your computer and go meet some chicks.

You dear sirs have just fired the people that drew me here… And don’t even get me started on those revision3beta people. That WSYK kid makes me want to punch a baby. Punch a baby with brass knuckles on. Yeah, I went there.

This is a horrible decision.

Haha, and judging by all the above comments you now have a lot of dicks on your plate Jim.

This is unbelievable. You just canceled the only two shows that I come to Rev3 for: Internet Superstar and Wine Library TV. WLTV I can get elsewhere, of course, but Martin and Jay will be sorely missed.

For me there is no longer a reason to come here DAILY as I have been doing for many months now. To me, your most popular show (I believe) is just a couple of clowns sitting on a couch, drinking beer and reading news stories from another website. I would rather do the drinking and reading myself, thank you very much.

Not sure what else you are hanging your hat on but I see nothing else here for me.

Im not sure if this has been suggested before, and i know it may not be popular with a lot of you, but i would be happy to pay a small (eg £5-£10 per month) charge to watch revision 3 programming (obviously this would depend on the quality of the programing, but im sure this fee would help make quality shows).

Cuts? Damn, well, don’t worry Jim, you’re entire team is voting for Obama. Once he gets in and raises REV3′s taxes, I’m sure that will help you guys hire more!

I’m so sick of the people who keep talking about how stupid we are for liking our shows and saying things like “It’s what had to be done to keep revision3 alive and successful”
And talking about “Business”

You see when I first found Revision3… You may not have known this how since it isn’t like it now, but Revision3 was not quite a “Business” like it is today.. It was more a “home” for a different types of shows that you just couldn’t find on the television…

It didn’t matter if you had 100 viewers or a million.. Back then it wasn’t all about the advertisers.. And it is the switch that hurts me the most. It was a place to find all your favorite TechTv personalities. Well, now most of them are gone. And the “home” has turned into a “business” … Anyone who has been watching shows on Revision3 less than a year and a half, would not understand what I am talking about and therefore won’t care.. But everyone who has been watching for 2 or more years, atleast understands the pain I am in seeing this once great site turn into another corporation.

FARLANDER: YOU ARE DUMB. PURE. SIMPLE. FACT.

Kevin Rose does not RUN REV3. He has nothing to do with the finances, numbers, downloads nor any business aspect. He is on the board and was informed of the layoffs the DAY OF. He wouldnt LIE ON TWIT about recording DIGG REEL if he knew is FRIEND OF X Years was going to be fired. You are a pessimistic dumb ass so grow up. Louderback made the decision from the numbers he looked at, he doesn’t have a grudge against sarah lane and martin. Obviously the shows were performing lower than the shit DIGG REEL and such, or he would have kept them. Its common business practice. Yes it sucks, yes I wish the good shows could stay even if they are hemorrhaging money, but they cant. I honestly find it hard to believe that Xlr8ter and Digg Reel get better numbers but who the hell knows. Everyone wants there show for free but the minute it gets shut down because it has no revenue or viewship enough to keep it afloat you whine and bitch. Be upset that talent like sarah and martin got fired, but dont act like louderback is a devil or that Kevin Rose made him do it. Its a business, the economy is shit, life sucks. Have a good day.

Sad. Just sad. Sarah and Martin work well together. Don’t let these guys go. Create a new show for them, something like a combination of their now canceled shows.

Please don’t blame the economy.

You are canceling shows I watch all the time. I hope you have something other than the beta shows coming down the line.

And Firestone, I have been a viewer since day 1 of rev3…I understand what your saying. I tried using that argument somewhere else on the boards but people didnt buy it. I dont see why they cant revert to being a home for the shows rather than a huge studio business.

Thanks BRET… Atleast someone else atleast understands what I am saying.

Deja vu all over again, first TechTV, now here goes Pixelperfect. For me that pretty much only leaves Techzilla here. Bad choices Rev3, and in addition to the financial crunch managed to make me feel even more ill inside. Thanks a lot.

Some of us not only depend on Bert Monroy to teach us, but know him as the guru of all things Photoshop. It’s as much Rev3′s loss as yours. Far as I’m concerned he fit in fine here, and I hope he moves on to bigger and better things, but more importantly that he returns to teach his devoted students again.

In the words of Martin Sargent: “Eat a dick Louderback!”

This is very sad.

To be honest, why the hell are they still calling this Revision3, with Sarah and Martin gone?

This is more like G3… or even better, G4. Keep up your “good” work, Jim, for canceling the shows I actually watched.

This is bull shit this is gonna be g4 all over again all i can say is Eat a dick Louderback! I quit watching this shit as of now i hope this douche gets canned. I bet leo gives sarah and marty a job.

This sucks you guys, I feel really bad for Sarah and Martin.

Honestly, this is what I’d expect from G4.

I don’t understand why you would cancel these shows.

One more thing: If someone buys from GoDaddy, they’re gonna have to use ONE code. Not the 3, 4 or 5 codes of all the different shows he watches. Just because code counts are low, dont can the shows. Base it on views+downloads. Although unlinkely, I’d love to see Internet Superstar and PopSiren back. Also, don’t cancel Digg Reel, it’s perfect for watching while on the bus ride home.

hmmm…..yeah!!! that seems about right. You are not keeping shows that “HELP” the viewer, like photoshop. but you are keeping “The Cigarette Eater” of scam school? Hmmm…yeah i always wondered what a “Cigarette” Taste Like.

I must say I am a little disappointed over the changes that have been made. Only for one reason though – Pixel Perfect. The rest of the shows I watched only for a little time then deleted.

People have to remember that sponsors pay for the network to function. All this programming is free. I kinda expected Pixel Perfect to be dropped once I noticed that his sponsors were not changing at all.

These shows are being constantly tuned to the viewers demands. A majority of people on the internet do not want to learn how to use photoshop but rather learn a magic trick. I guess they are going after their largest viewer markets.

All-in-all I’m a little sad to see Martin leaving but every show that he had I stopped watching for some reason or another. I hope that the newer shows that are going to be pumped will properly replace that hole in their programming. In the end … it’s FREE.

This is ridiculous. Popsiren, wine library, and the humor of Martin Sargent were the only reasons that I still visited revision3. Way to show that you guys are as scummy as every other video network out there. I won’t be visiting revision3 any longer.

Well then, rev3 is off my bookmarks.

Internet superstar was the reason I visited rev3 daily.

First of all I’d like to say smart move Jim. I’d like to add to that smart move by saying this, axe all the other shows except Diggnation, TRS, and Tekzilla. So get rid of Digg Reel, Hak 5, iFanboy, Scam School (This shows kinda lame), Systm, just keep three. Internet Superstar was like a bad joke I wanted to see disappear, good riddens, PopSiren? lame show this sites mostly guys I bet, and PixelPerfect meh sometimes useful.

Then add Revision3Beta to the lineup which probably doesn’t cost you anything or much. And voila, probably what you’re already thinking A SMART MOVE.

Great work Jim and I look forward to future e-mails I sent to you and your very prompt and thoughtful responses.

To Number_01

Dear God!!! I hope that was sarcastic.

Wait… what about webdrifter?

This is the worst news ever! I can’t believe you’re canceling PopSiren and Internet Superstar! Those two shows were awesome! Much better than some of the other crap on this site… As Martin once said, “EAT A DICK LOUDERBACK!”.

Well like so many others I am shocked. PixelPerfect is one of my all-time favorites. I hope you either let it go back to PixelCorps and/or release a DVD version of the episodes already filmed, because this has long-term value.

WLTV I subscribed to but never watched because though Gary V is awesome he’s just too much for me to handle on a regular basis. I couldn’t stand EpicFu, so I don’t care about that.

PopSiren is the other one I’ll really miss, though I’ve been bummed out about Web Drifter for a while, and was trying to give Internet Superstar a chance after Gator left. I hated Gator. Martin is best when he’s giving his own satire and he should be given another talk show-style program, maybe on the Twit network, where he’s interviewing people and commenting on current events.

Back to PopSiren, I think they should have gotten rid of Heather & her music segments, as they brought the show to a screeching halt and I always skipped them. Love Moujan’s wacky segments after the format change, and As much as Sarah Lane bugs me from time to time, I was really getting into the show overall (minus the music segments). The daily bites were ones I watched much more often than the Tekzilla dailies, and they too will be much missed. I hope you get Moujan Z a good wacky program to host for herself. Even just a short-format, bite-sized program would be fantastic. I hated her recycled crafting before the PS format change, but her goofy history is too good to lose!

Hippy Glen?????????

Martin?

Jay?

WTF??????

FirestoneX in reply #155 summed it up perfectly.
Unfortunately, R3 is now committed to paying for the studio.

Note to self: don’t tell boss to “eat a dick” or your show will be canceled.

Regardless of any economical situation.

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS:

Why not atleast give the hosts of the show a final goodbye episode…

If the firing wasn’t personal.. Then why not let them go out with a bang???

Seems fishy to me.

OMG I GOT BANNED!!!

Just for having this signature….

Now, who will help me stuff Jim Louderback full of candy, hang him from the ceiling, and start beating him with sticks… Come on, lets go!!!!

Nothing personal Jim.. It’s just business. ….

Come on guys… Take a joke.

W

Well, looks like I won’t be posting for a wail after I close this window…. They also said something about spaming posts… I put a few copies of something important into DIFFERENT forums and it’s spamin? I got a letter telling me to please stop. I even said that I wasn’t going to write anymore… 10 minutes later… Banned. WTF.

I guess telling someone to “Eat a dick” is alright.. But talking about making someone a pinata is too offensive???

very disappointed

Martin, Jay and Internet Superstar are/were sine of the best things on Revision3. I do watch Tekzilla and Systm, but c’mon! Does everything have to be geek tech masturbation talk?

You are making a big mistake taking away Internet Superstar.

But least promise us that Martin will be back in some other format on Revision3 and maybe we’ll forgive you…probably not, but maybe.

I’m very disappointed in Revision3 right now! Popsiren and PixelPerfect are great shows. Here is my problem with your network. You get rid of really good people. IE Sarah Lane. She was great to watch, very funny and super cool. Now the whole pop siren was kinda dumb, but the revision3 inside deal, where she would take us on tours and show us things was really cool.

As of today I will be unsubscribing from anything that REV3 Makes from itunes and I will be blocking the website from my large company’s network. I will not tell you which collage I work for, but I will I am lead IT management and I can do these things, and over just the last 5 days I have seen over 10,000 hits to your website. Those will be gone and I am redirecting rev to sarah lanes page so that everyone know about this bunch of crap.

In The words of the great Martin Sargent.. EAT D* Louderback.

indeed, eat a dck louderback! no warning this time or no promise of new shows from martin. im truely disapointed.

Wow. Louderback really fucked it up this time. Don’t know how to leave anything good alone, do you? Now here’s a thought to ponder: perhaps the FIRER should be FIRED. Then there wouldn’t be mindless firing of people who don’t deserve it and cancellation of rather entertaining shows. And you say it’s all about economic downturn. Yeah. Really. Economic downturn, my ass.

Well its Thursday and although I knew Pop Siren got canceled earlier in the week the fact that it’s Thursday and there is no new episode really upsets me. It really just hit me that there is no more Sarah Lane. The only show I watch on Rev3 now is Diggnation…only because Kevin is hot & funny. Is it really worth coming here to watch one show? I want Sarah back. Rev3 you suck.

wow, interesting, i just got into pop….never a watcher, but now i was….watched internet superstar…..at least on mondays….just seems like a weird choice….its the same concept behind canceling arrested development and good shows on tv….because people just dont understand that HUGE rating=low profits……..economy has nothing to do with it…..what a cope out.

Whoa! You are killing PopSiren? This show was my absolute favorite. ((

On Revision3 only PopSiren and EpicFu are unique and interesting. Best mix of online pop culture ever.

There may be shows which appeal to (young) male techies, but PopSiren and EpicFu have the potential to get the new non-technical internet generation, the so called “digital natives”. (Whoever came up with this “digital native” crap has to be drowned)

If anybody asked me, what is different in this generation I showed PopSiren and EpicFu to get an idea about non-mainstream pop culture and media.

What a pity. I actually liked PopSiren a little bit better than EpicFu.

I have been a longtime viewer of all the Rev3 Shows and was thrilled when talent like Sarah Lane came on board. That kept me coming back, Also Martin Sargent was fabulous as well, now that both are gone I will be as well, Good Luck Revision 3 or should I say Fox (rev 3). Is it really worth it to only watch Diggnation, one show.. I think not. Maybe G4′s disection of Tech TV was not all their fault, wasn’t Louderback there as well ? Rev3 = G4 .. Think about it.

YOU CAN’T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!!

So many of your shows focus on mostly American affairs, and it is not uncommon to find the same news covered several times on different shows (diggnation, diggreel, popsiren, epic-fu). Please make Revision 3 even better by tailoring programming to an international audience. Sad to see these shows go. Keep up the good work. A UK Revision3 fan.

after finally doing some investigating i am now removing rev3 from my home page and the only thing im going to watch is totally rad show and diggnation from other sources
and to think i used to donate money monthly to this place. cant believe they fired martin and jay. wtf.
btw there’s only one good show on the beta so i hope that isnt your trump card.

romanma00 you almost got it. most of these people are castaways from ziff davis. you know the ones who USED to put out good computer magazines until they got caught with their pants down by botching the popularity of the net at the start by calling it a sensation as though it would be a fad. patrick norton is talented at…. tech. most of the rest of these guys and women shouldnt be on screen for any reason except to be doing tech ONLY stuff. roger chang is cool but he is not talented. he is an excellent tech person though. I dont think this format will ever be successful until someone with deep pockets decides to be an ‘angel’ and recruits some tech savvy TALENTED on screen people and allows them the time to do their thing. stop whining about sarah lane. she isnt talented either.

Well Rev3, I knew you well. Getting rid of Wine Library and other shows is a mistake and probably going to hurt you in the long run. Watched your Beta’s…no stars in there, maybe just cheaper to produce and who will watch, ah, no one but their mothers. What next Scam School? Geez. You guys just lost a avid fan. Good Bye.

Scam school sucks. I think the host might be a cool dude, but the show stinks. XLR8TR or whatever sucks. It could have been cool but all you show is a bunch of drugged out weirdos that 14 people in the world have even heard of. You canceled Web Drifter a while ago and I was extremely pissed off about that. The Rev3Beta thing is a joke. Nothing on it is worth anything but that walt guys show. And even it won’t “Reach their markets”. You have a few good shows right now and you just cut it in half. Shame on you.

I read Kevin’s blog and he said he was sad to hear the news. Of course he is one of the founders, but he has no say in most of this. Jim is the one who is the ring leader of the circus. I am so pissed right now I am boycotting revision3 for a while. See what that does for business. Nothing. But apparently you guys see it the right way too. Everything is futile. The end of things will come to a head anyways. Especially when you have big dollar CEOs and shallow pocket books for true content.

Sponsorship brings money. Not audience.

Re-evaluate some of your current “hit shows”…; for example, diggnation is starting to feel really awkward to watch with all of the sponsors taking over as content.

Don’t be G4, revision3.

Martin sucks, he’s like the high school bully who always picked on everyone. I never could stand him, he’s so annoying.

Revision3,

PLEASE get Bert Monroy back! His show is top quality and definately top 3 or even 1 on revision3.com

Bert your show pixel perfect is excellent in rich usable content and its fun. I will (am already) miss you and the show PixelPerfect. I have enjoyed every episode and have recommended the show to many of my friends.

If there is a conflict between REVISION3 and Bert I really hope revision3 will knock off any unnecessary restrictions or requirements to get Bert back! Bert is excellent for this show and the show is a vital staple for revision3.

Compared to a number of shows on revision3, a number of the others are content low and attitude stupid. Bert Monroy’s show is content rich and a joy to watch and put into practice.

Pixel Perfect is one show keeping revision3 from going to trash shows of just teenage emoton.

REVISION3 you are making a mistake not to keep Bert Monroy’s show Pixel Perfect.

Sincerely,
Andre L. Noel
12-4-2008

PS: Please be nice to Bert and try to get him back.

took trouble to register so that I could say that Pixel Perfect was the only programing in your entire stable of horse …. worth watching. Now I have no reason to come back.

by by.

Why on earth did you cancel Pixel Perfect? I have recommended this show to everybody I know. Fairly big mistake of Rev3. A lot of people use photoshop and the user base of that software will only expand. Kids can’t afford to pay for decent tutorials and Bert Monroy provided top quality for free. I’m an adult, 27 years and capable of putting things in perspective. But since the show got cancelled, I’m feeling really down. Almost two months now and here I am, posting comments and writing mails to let you know my dissapointment.

You should have marketed the show better. I use photoshop for 12 years and the internet for 15 years. But it was only in June 2008 that I found Pixel Perfect. And I garantee that I’ve been searching for tutorials for ages.

Shame on you. I will never watch another episode of diggnation, tekzilla, diggreel or scamscool again. Shows of which i have become a huge fan, ironically because of Pixel Perfect.

I am sure that competition will arrive, and I will turn to them instead.

The truth is that people carry on and many will return nonetheless. Because you have good shows

Good riddens Rev3

Hey, good idea, watching the episodes from other sources. Rev3 will slowly fade out

You need to keep Sarah Lane. EPICFU was never a good fit, the others I never watched at all.. (TRS + System + Tekzilla + Sarah FTW, didn’t like Popsiren though…)

You demanded that its production be moved from PixelCorps to your own studio, you ruined the show with the weird zoom-ins and poor screen capture, and now you can’t afford to produce it anymore you can get more information from this.

They obviously didn’t cancel these old shows to piss off the viewers, it was because not enough people watched; therefore low revenue.

外遇來電恐遭不測 　徵信破解來電有詐
　彰化市搬家詐騙又有新手法，宜蘭徵信社北港一女子接獲指稱其先生有外遇恐遭不測的電話，一度幾乎引發家庭革命，夫妻失和，但因其先生並沒有異常行為多功能事務機，夫妻遂向警方報案，台北徵信警方進一步調查發現該通來電，抽脂竟是已被警政單位列為反詐騙的列管電話，才及時挽救這對夫妻的感情金門免稅商店。隆乳昨天上午住在北港的一對楊姓夫妻，台南日本料理到北港警分局報案，台南住宿其中楊太太指稱她前一天晚上接獲一通電話，要她警告她先生「不要介入別人的家庭、隨便玩別人的太太，否則要她先生好看…」，讓她不僅相當恐慌，事後更和先生大吵一架，懷疑老公有外遇。台北搬家公司楊先生認為那是有人惡作劇，乾脆帶著老婆到警局報案，並提供該電話給警方參考，結果一查證，發現該電話，已被列為反詐騙的列管電話資料，才證實原來是一場騙局，留學讓楊太太破涕為笑。全省搬家公司北港警方表示，還是頭一次受理類似的詐騙電話案，所幸楊姓夫妻接獲該電話後，能到警局查證，避免夫妻失和。
