Watch Tekzilla, Hak5 and Hack College Live from CES

January 7th, 2009 at 08:24 by Jim Louderback in Live Events, Shows

Wow, the new year starts quickly. It’s barely 2009, and already we’re off to both CES and MacWorld to bring you the best hands on coverage from both of these shows. We’re doing six live shows from the huge Consumer Electronics Show - aka CES, from Las Vegas this year, along with a full episode of Tekzilla brought to you from the floor of MacWorld.

Let’s start with CES. A big crew of Revision3 staff are headed to Las Vegas on Wednesday to bring you the best from the show floor. We’ll be live-blogging the event, along with bringing you live programming from the show, courtesy of our friends at NBC. Don’t miss Patrick and Veronica, the Hak5 crew, and our Revision3 Beta HackCollege hosts live and on demand, starting this Thursday. The best way to keep up with everything that’s happening is to bookmark the page www.revision3.com/ces, where we’ll be feeding all of our blog posts, Twitter updates, live shows and more from CES.

When are we live? Here’s the full schedule:

  • Tekzilla Live: Thursday, Friday and Saturday, catch Patrick and Veronica doing Tekzilla live at 7:30pm eastern, 4:30pm pacific, from the NBC stage.
  • Hak5 Live: Friday and Saturday at 5pm eastern, 2pm pacific
  • Hack College: Live Friday at 4pm eastern, 1pm pacific

If you’re in Las Vegas, at CES, please stop by during one or more of our live shows. We’re doing them all from the NBC booth, right on the main floor of CES – Central Hall booth number 12133.

If you can’t watch the Hak5 or Tekzilla shows live, they’ll be available on demand starting about 24 hours later at Revision3.com – at the show’s regular pages:

So what about MacWorld? Well before the Tekzilla crew heads to CES late Wednesday, their covering Macworld like a glove – producing a full Tekzilla episode from the show floor. That episode will debut Saturday as well, at Tekzilla’s show p age, and across the web via iTunes, YouTube and elsewhere. You can subscribe or watch at www.revision3.com/tekzilla.


At Long Last! Search Comes to Revision3.com

Happy New Year everyone! When we last spoke, I mentioned we had some great things planned for 2009 for Revision3.com and today we’re happy to present to your the first of many. It’s been wildly requested by our audience and insanely useful now that we have it in place: Search functionality for Revision3.com!

We’ve got some cutting edge technology in place that allows us to index both our site’s content as well as the content within the show’s episodes! So if you’re looking for that review of Crysis on The Totally Rad Show? Just type in “Crysis” in the search box on the top of the page, and boom! You get every mention of “Crysis” on our shows. You can filter by shows to find your exact result, and when you pick the episode you want. We’ve also indexed all of our forum content, so if you’re looking for something specific from a flame war a few months ago, now you can find it!

This is the first step of a greater build out of our search functionality, and as 2009 progresses, we’re going to be rolling out even more great functionality around this search engine, which will enhance the ability to find exactly the information you’re looking for within seconds! So check out our new search functionality today and let us know what you think!

thanks.
